An investigation into the identification of potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 main protease using molecular docking study

Sourav Das et al.

Summary: This study used a blind molecular docking approach to identify potential inhibitors of the SARS-COV-2 main protease, with rutin showing the highest inhibitor efficiency. All studied molecules were able to bind to the active site of the main protease and were surrounded by other active site residues. Further wet-lab experimentation and clinical trials are needed for validation.

Identification of alkaloids from Justicia adhatoda as potent SARS CoV-2 main protease inhibitors: An in silico perspective

Rajesh Ghosh et al.

Summary: Using computational methods, this study found that an alkaloid (anisotine) from Justicia adhatoda leaf extracts exhibited good binding affinity to SARS CoV-2 Mpro, potentially making it a more potent inhibitor compared to the recommended antiviral drugs (lopinavir and darunavir). Further animal and patient experiments may validate anisotine as a promising anti-COVID-19 drug.

Phenylbenzopyrone of Flavonoids as a Potential Scaffold to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Replication by Inhibiting its MPRO Main Protease

Angamba M. Potshangbam et al.

Summary: The study identified phenylbenzopyrone in flavonoids as a potential inhibitor for the main protease of SARS-CoV-2, outperforming repurposed antiviral drugs like lopinavir and nelfinavir. The glycosidic form of flavonoids showed high affinity and stability in inhibiting the main protease, with compound rutin emerging as a promising candidate compound.

Glycyrrhizin Effectively Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Replication by Inhibiting the Viral Main Protease

Lukas van de Sand et al.

Summary: The global pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has had a significant impact on millions of people worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for novel antiviral compounds. The study demonstrated the antiviral activity of glycyrrhizin against SARS-CoV-2 and uncovered its mechanism of action by inhibiting the viral main protease. This suggests that glycyrrhizin-containing products, like licorice root tea, could benefit those infected with SARS-CoV-2 and warrants further investigation for clinical use in treating COVID-19 patients.
