Researchers found out that salen is able to effectively bind a number of proteins of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Scientists used the method of molecular docking and discovered that salen shows activity to the non-structural protein nsp14, which prevents the destruction of the virus. The new finding could be useful for the creation of new drugs and effective treatments for coronavirus infection. The results of the study are published in Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds.
