POSSIBLE DESTRUCTION OF SARS-COv-2 BY SODIUM DEOXYCHOLATE

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to focus on the antiviral activity of a bile salt, namely sodium deoxycholate. There is a possibility of killing severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 due to the destruction of its protein and lipid overcoat by sodium deoxycholate alone or with drugs those showing response against severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2. Destruction of inner viral constituents and hence disintegration of the virion is possible at very small concentration. This study can be an important platform for further investigations.
