[Potential therapeutic drugs for novel coronavirus pneumonia].

The novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is still in a serious situation. There is no specific therapeutic drug for COVID-19. At present, drugs, including lopinavir/ritonavir, chloroquine phosphate, abidol, IFN-α atomization and ribavirin, are commonly used in clinical practice. However, further clinical trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these drugs. Other potential drugs that may be effective for COVID-19, are worthy of attention, including IL-6 monoclonal antibody, tyrosine protein kinase 1/2 inhibitor, cell therapy drugs, etc. This paper reviews these potential therapeutic drugs for COVID-19.
