At present, there are no approved treatments specifically for COVID-19. Several candidates are currently being tested in clinical trials around the world, including hydroxychloroquine, favipiravir and remdesivir. There have been over two million cases of the virus since it was first identified in December last year. Of these, almost 150,000 people have died.

Ohashi and colleagues say their findings are preliminary and that more research will be required to confirm the mechanisms that appear to behind both drugs' ability to stop SARS-CoV-2."However, our observation that Nelfinavir and Cepharanthine target different steps in the viral life cycle support the development of multidrug combination therapies for treating COVID-19," they concluded.
