SARS-CoV-2 is the coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is a disease of global concern and declared as a pandemic in 2020. For adequate control, personal protection measures have been taken and a great variety of drugs have been investigated to act in the pathogenic process to prevent the adhesion, replication and progression of the virus in the different stages of the disease, as well as the generation of effective neutralizing antibodies against it. The emergence of genetic variants has generated the need for advances in technologies for the development and research of new therapeutic targets. Currently, there is no specific drug for the pharmacological treatment of COVID-19, however, different drugs are used that have prevented the progression of the disease, recovery of illness, decreased mortality and increased survival.
