In silico identification of potential inhibitors against main protease of SARS-CoV-2 6LU7 from Andrographis panniculata via molecular docking, binding energy calculations and molecular dynamics simulation studies

Mayakrishnan Vijayakumar et al.

Summary: The ongoing global outbreak of new corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) has raised concerns due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Synthetic drugs like hydroxychloroquine and remdisivir are being investigated for their effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2, but natural diterpenoids like andrographolide have shown promising binding affinity and potential as inhibitors. Further preclinical and clinical trials are required for scientific validation of these findings.

p38 alpha MAP kinase inhibitors to overcome EGFR tertiary C797S point mutation associated with osimertinib in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): emergence of fourth-generation EGFR inhibitor

Iqrar Ahmad et al.

Summary: Third-generation EGFR inhibitors like Osimertinib selectively target EGFR-T790M mutant and have good selectivity for wild-type EGFR. However, after treatment with Osimertinib, a C797S mutation may occur, rendering the tumor undruggable. Recently, trisubstituted imidazoles based on p38 alpha MAPK inhibitors have been developed as fourth-generation EGFR-TKIs to overcome C797S resistance.

Kobophenol A Inhibits Binding of Host ACE2 Receptor with Spike RBD Domain of SARS-CoV-2, a Lead Compound for Blocking COVID-19

Suresh Gangadevi et al.

Summary: The study revealed that Kobophenol A, identified through virtual screening, could potentially serve as an inhibitor for COVID-19 by blocking the interaction between the virus and cells, inhibiting viral infection. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated strong affinity of Kobophenol A to the ACE2 receptor, making it a promising compound for antiviral therapy.

Molecular docking, binding mode analysis, molecular dynamics, and prediction of ADMET/toxicity properties of selective potential antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2 main protease: an effort toward drug repurposing to combat COVID-19

Himanshu Rai et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the importance of M-pro enzyme of SARS-CoV-2 as a potential drug target for antiviral drug design. Through molecular docking and dynamics studies, the research identified key amino acid residues and potential antiviral molecules for structure-based drug design. The findings suggest that FDA-approved drugs could be promising agents to combat COVID-19, without requiring extensive toxicity studies, and may serve as starting points for lead optimization in drug discovery.
