<div> <div> <div> <p>It is evident from the on-going clinical studies (trials) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that treatment with a single drug is not likely to be sufficient. This, in turn, suggests that the drug acts via inhibition of multiple pathways likely to be more successful and promising. Keeping this hypothesis intact, the present study describes for the first-time, Grazoprevir, an FDA approved anti-viral drug primarily approved for HCV, mediated multiple pathway control via synergistic inhibition of viral entry targeting host cell Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE- 2)/transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) and viral replication targeting RNA-dependent, RNA polymerase (RdRP). We believe that Grazoprevir either alone or given in combination could be effective therapeutics for treatment of COVID-19 pandemic with a promise of unlikely drug resistance owing to multiple inhibition of eukaryotic and viral proteins. </p> </div> </div> </div>
