摘要：AbstractThe deadliest recent pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 disease has severely damaged the socio-economic health of the people globally. Due to unavailability of any effective vaccine or treatment the human beings are still struggling to overcome the pandemic condition. In an attempt to discover anti-COVID molecule, we used in-silico approach and reported 160 natural polyphenols to identify the most promising druggable HITs that can further used for drug discovery process. The co-crystallized structure COVID protease enzyme (PDB id 6LU7) was used. HTVS, MD simulation, binding energy calculations and in-silico ADME calculation were done and analyzed. Depending upon the scores three compounds galangin, nalsudaldain and rhamnezine were identified and the docking score were found to be −7.704, −6.51, −4.212 respectively. These docked complexes were further subjected to MD simulation runs over a 100 ns time and the RMSD and RMSF values were determined. The RMSD values of three compounds were found to be 2.9 Å, 7.6 Å & 9.5 Å respectively and the lowest RMSF values suggested the steady stability of ligand–protein complexes. The binding free energies (ΔG) of compounds with protein were found to be −49.8, −56.45, −62.87 kJ/mole. Moreover, in-silico ADME calculations indicated the drug likeliness properties of these molecules. By considering all these in-silico results the identified HITs would be the most probable anti-COVID drug molecules that can be further taken in wet lab and can act as lead for development of newer inhibitor of COVID-19 main protease enzyme.
