The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 has necessitated rapid development of drug screening tools. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a promising target due to its essential functions in replication and transcription of viral genome. To date, through minimal RNA synthesizing machinery established from cryo-electron microscopy structural data, there has been development of high-throughput screening assays for directly screening inhibitors that target the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp. Here, we analyze and present verified techniques that could be used to discover potential anti-RdRp agents or repurposing of approved drugs to target the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp. In addition, we highlight the characteristics and application value of cell-free or cell-based assays in drug discovery.
