Abstract
The rise and fall of the COVID-19 wave continue to be watched because the right antiviral drug has not yet been found. Remdesivir is an antiviral drug that is much sought after, especially when the number of COVID-19 cases is spreading worldwide. Until now, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) have confirmed the treatment for COVID-19 infection is remdesivir; because of that, remdesivir is very expensive and difficult to find, so that other similar or alternative drugs are needed. Even better ones with better potential too. Based on studies, insilico meridine and xestosaprol M have the same potential as remdesivir as an anti-COVID-19 virus.
