The novel and highly pathogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome Ski de fond - Equipement - Batons - Adulte coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has become a continued focus of global attention due to the serious threat it poses to public health.There are no specific drugs available to combat SARS-CoV-2 infection.Natural products (carolacton, homoharringtonine, emetine, and cepharanthine) and natural product-inspired small molecules (ivermectin, GS-5734, EIDD-2801, and ebselen) are potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents that have attracted significant attention due to their broad-spectrum antiviral activities.Here, we review the research on potential landmark anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents, systematically discussing the importance masturbators of natural products and natural-product-inspired small molecules in the research and development of safe and effective antiviral agents.
