Table 1 Twenty-eight of the 65 druggable control hubs (in Table S4) within no more than two steps away from SARS-Cov-2 proteins in the triple-layer PPI network. Shown are the druggable control hub (the Host Protein column), engaging Viral Protein (and the [Distance] between the host and viral proteins), Host Protein Function, and Targeting Drugs (and the Total number of drugs targeting the protein). Drugs are grouped based on their function categories marked in color. Drugs in orange correspond to immune-related agents, in green are dietary supplements, and in blue are gonadal hormones. The seven druggable control hubs discussed in the text are marked in grey. At least two drugs target the rest 21 druggable control hubs
