Potential inhibition properties were studied using the Molegro Virtual Docker Program and some flavonoids, in particular hesperidin, rutin, and diosmin showed a better affinity for the MPro than nelfinavir [1] . Rutin showed the second strongest binding energy at the active site of the MPro with a MoLDock score of −176.2740 and a HBond of −21.2402. Recently, Caly and colleagues reported a potential antiretroviral activity of the anti-parasitic agent ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2 virus. Despite the absence of clinical evidences regarding some potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs, preliminar information reported by researchers suggest anyhow further studies in order to evaluate the clinical effects as well as the possibility to synthesize derivatives with stronger antiretroviral properties. ./cache/cord-344842-9cfbb7p6.txt ./txt/cord-344842-9cfbb7p6.txt
