Popis: COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to a worldwide crisis. In view of emerging variants time to time, there is a pressing need of effective COVID-19 therapeutics. Setomimycin, a rare tetrahydroanthracene antibiotic, remained unexplored for its therapeutic uses. Herein, we report our investigations on the potential of setomimycin as COVID-19 therapeutic. Pure setomimycin was isolated from Streptomyces sp. strain RA-WS2 from NW Himalayan region followed by establishing in silico as well as in vitro anti-SARS-CoV-2 property of the compound against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M
