Inhibitory effect of compounds extracted from Monochoria hastata (L.) Solms on SARS-CoV-2 main protease: An insight from molecular docking and MD-simulation studies

Using molecular docking and other studies, 20 compounds extracted from Monochoria hastata (L.) Solms were screened, and their inhibitory efficiency examined against main protease (3CLpro) of SARS CoV-2. All the compounds were found to binding with 3CLpro through van der Waals and electrostatic force...

Sumario:Using molecular docking and other studies, 20 compounds extracted from Monochoria hastata (L.) Solms were screened, and their inhibitory efficiency examined against main protease (3CLpro) of SARS CoV-2. All the compounds were found to binding with 3CLpro through van der Waals and electrostatic forces of attractions. Among them, Azelaic dihydrazide (ADZ) was found to have the highest docking score. 3CLpro-ADZ complex was studied by MD simulation. ADZ was found to disrupt the structure of 3CLpro after 2 ns. RMSD and RMSF analysis along with sequence and binding energy analysis suggest that ADZ can be a potential drug against SARS CoV-2.
