    NCBS scientists identify 33 molecules that could be used to treat virus patients

    A group of scientists led by Professor R. Sowdhamini at NCBS has identified the 33 small molecules from a database of over 3,30,000 small molecules using new computational research, which bind to NSP1, one of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The scientists have recommended that these can be taken forward for wet-lab validation.

    Researchers at the Bengaluru-based National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) have identified 33 small molecules out of 3, 30,000 that can target one protein — NSP1 — in the Sars-Cov-2 virus, which causes Covid-19. Identifying these molecules may help with drug discovery and examining existing drugs, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), that can be repurposed to treat Covid-19.
