Withanone and caffeic acid phenethyl ester are predicted to interact with main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 and inhibit its activity

Vipul Kumar et al.

Summary: The study showed that Withanone (Wi-N) and Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) can bind to the SARS-CoV-2 M(pro) enzyme with similar efficacy and binding energy to a known protease inhibitor. This suggests that these natural compounds may have the potential to inhibit the functional activity of the virus, offering a possible therapeutic value for managing COVID-19. Further validation in laboratory and clinical tests is warranted.

Leucoefdin a potential inhibitor against SARS CoV-2 Mpro

Amit Singh et al.

Summary: Leucoefdin, an important component found in fruits like banana and raspberry, was found to have a strong binding affinity for the M(Pro) protease of SARS-CoV-2, showing potential as a lead compound in drug discovery and development against the virus. Docking and simulation studies revealed specific interactions with the active site of M(Pro) and stable binding energies, indicating its promise as a therapeutic agent.
