Potential activity of Linezolid against SARS-CoV-2 using electronic and molecular docking study.

ABSTRACT: The crescent evolution of a global pandemic COVID-19 and its respiratory syndrome (SARS-Cov-2) has been a constant concern (Ghosh 2021; Khan et al. 2021; Alazmi and Motwalli 2020; Vargas et al. 2020). The absence of a proven and effective medication has compelled all the scientific community to search for a new drug. The use of known drugs is a faster way to develop new therapies. Molecular docking is a powerful tool (Gao et al. J Mol Model 10: 44-54, 2004; Singh et al. J Mol Model 18: 39-51, 2012; Schulz-Gasch and Stahl J Mol Model 9:47-57, 2003) to study the interaction of potential drugs with SARS-CoV-2, Alsalme et al. (2020) and Sanders et al. (2020) spike protein as a consequence the main goal of this article is to present the result of the study of an interaction between (R and S)-Li
