Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread around the world. At this time, there is no vaccine that can help people prevent the spread of coronavirus.

We are proposing amantadine as a drug that can be used to mitigate the effects of the virus.

It is demonstrated by docking models how amantadine can exert its action on Coronavirus viroporin E.
