Biochemical analysis of packing and assembling heptad repeat motifs in the coronavirus spike protein trimer.

Frequent occurrence of mutations in nsp3 and nsp4 of SARS-CoV-2, presumably caused by the inhaled asthma drug ciclesonide.

The Inhaled Steroid Ciclesonide Blocks SARS-CoV-2 RNA Replication by Targeting the Viral Replication-Transcription Complex in Cultured Cells.

The anti-influenza virus drug favipiravir has little effect on replication of SARS-CoV-2 in cultured cells.
