Molecular docking analysis of azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine with spike surface glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2

Abstract

Millions of people are affected by COVID-19 since the last quarter of 2019. Treatment using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as monotherapy in combination with azithromycin (HCQ-AZ) were administered at several clinical centres to patients tested positive to the virus across continents. Therefore, it is of interest to document the molecular docking analysis data of azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine drug with the spike surface glycoprotein of novel COVID-19. Thus, we report the molecular modelling docking based structural binding features of HCQ-AZ with the spike surface glycoprotein of COVID-19 for further evaluation in this regard.
