The present pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has been a tough task for the whole world to
deal with. With the absence of specific drugs or vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, the
situation is very difficult to control. Apart from the absence of specific
therapies, the lack of knowledge about potential therapeutic targets and
individual perception is adding to the complications. The present review
describes the novel SARS-CoV-2 structure, surface proteins, asymptomatic and
symptomatic transmission in addition to the genotype and phenotype of SARS-CoV-2
along with genetic strains and similarity between SARS, MERS and SARS-CoV-2.
Therapeutic strategies such as inhibition of the endocytic pathway and
suppressing RNA polymerase activity by metal ions, which could be quite
beneficial for controlling COVID-19, are outlined. The drug repurposing for
SARS-CoV-2 is discussed in detail along with therapeutic classes such as
antivirals, antibiotics, and amino quinolones and their probable role in
suppressing SARS-CoV-2 with reference to case studies. The ongoing clinical
trials both with respect to drug repurposing and vaccines are summarized along
with a brief description. The recent advancements and future perspective of
ongoing research for therapy and detection of SARS-CoV-2 are provided. The
review, in brief, summarizes epidemiology, therapy and the current scenario for
combating SARS-CoV-2.
