ABSTRACT
The pandemic caused by the coronavirus SARS-COVID-2 has had devastating impact on the world. It has caused a significant number of deaths across the world. Fast spread and lack of vaccine prompted academia to adopt new, fast and reliable methodologies to design new drugs. A combined approach of direct drug design and indirect drug design has been used for molecular docking. In the study, we found a compound, Vilazodone, with a binding energy of -8.40 kcal/mol. The druglikeness properties of this compound are investigated through SWISS ADMET analysis. In this in-silico study, we confirmed this compound is a potential drug candidate against SARS-CoV-2.However, in-vitro and in-vivo studies are required to prove its efficacy. © 2022 IEEE.
