The inhibition of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro) and papain-like protease (PLpro) prevents viral multiplications; these viral enzymes have been recognized as one of the most favorable targets for drug discovery against SARS-CoV-2. In the present study, we screened 225 phytocompounds present in 28 different Indian spices to identify compounds as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and PLpro. Molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, molecular mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) binding free energy calculations, and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) studies were done. Based on binding affinity, dynamics behavior, and binding free energies, the present study identifies pentaoxahexacyclo-dotriacontanonaen-trihydroxybenzoate derivative (PDT), rutin, and dihyroxy-oxan-phenyl-chromen-4-one derivative (DOC), luteolin-7-glucoside-4′-neohesperidoside as promising inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and PLpro, respectively.  相似文献

In view of the potential of traditional plant-based remedies (or phytomedicines) in the management of COVID-19, the present investigation was aimed at finding novel anti-SARS-CoV-2 molecules by in silico screening of bioactive phytochemicals (database) using computational methods and drug repurposing approach. A total of 160 compounds belonging to various phytochemical classes (flavonoids, limonoids, saponins, triterpenoids, steroids etc.) were selected (as initial hits) and screened against three specific therapeutic targets (Mpro/3CLpro, PLpro and RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2 by docking, molecular dynamics simulation and drug-likeness/ADMET studies. From our studies, six phytochemicals were identified as notable ant-SARS-CoV-2 agents (best hit molecules) with promising inhibitory effects effective against protease (Mpro and PLpro) and polymerase (RdRp) enzymes. These compounds are namely, ginsenoside Rg2, saikosaponin A, somniferine, betulinic acid, soyasapogenol C and azadirachtin A. On the basis of binding modes and dynamics studies of protein–ligand intercations, ginsenoside Rg2, saikosaponin A, somniferine were found to be the most potent (in silico) inhibitors potentially active against Mpro, PLpro and RdRp, respectively. The present investigation can be directed towards further experimental studies in order to confirm the anti-SARS-CoV-2 efficacy along with toxicities of identified phytomolecules.  相似文献

COVID-19 is a progressing pandemic of coronavirus disease-2019, which had drowned the whole world in a deep sorrow sea. Uncountable deaths were extending the list of deaths every single day. The present research was aimed to study the multi-target interaction of coumarins against COVID-19 using molecular docking analysis. The structure of coumarin compounds was checked for ADME and Lipinski rule of five by using SwissADME, an online tool. SARS-CoV-2 proteins such as RdRp, PLpro, Mpro and spike protein were collected from the Protein Data Bank. The molecular docking study was performed in the PyRx tool, and the molecular interactions were visualised by Discovery Studio Visualizer. All the coumarin compounds used in the study were obeyed Lipinski’s rule of 5 without any violations. All the three designed derivatives of phenprocoumon, hymecromone, and psoralen were showed high binding affinity and prominent interactions with the drug target. The presence of –OH groups in the compound, His41, a catalytic dyad in Mpro, number of and the distance of hydrogen bond interactions with SARS-CoV-2 targets was accountable for the high binding attractions. The modified drug structures possess better binding efficacy towards at least three targets compared to their parent compounds. Further, molecular dynamic studies can be suggested to find the ligand–protein complex stability. The present study outcome reveals that the designed coumarins can be synthesised and examined as a potent inhibitory drug of SARS-CoV-2.  相似文献

A new coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2)has been identified as the etiologic agent for the COVID-19 outbreak.Currently,effective treatment options remain very limited for this disease;therefore,there is an urgent need to identify new anti-COVID-19 agents.In this study,we screened over 6,000 compounds that included approved drugs,drug candidates in clinical trials,and pharmacologically active compounds to identify leads that target the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease(PLpro).Together with main protease(Mpro),PLpro is responsible for processing the viral replicase polyprotein into functional units.There-fore,it is an attractive target for antiviral drug develop-ment.Here we discovered four compounds,YM155,cryptotanshinone,tanshinone I and GRL0617 that inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PLpro with IC50 values ranging from 1.39 to 5.63 pmol/L.These compounds also exhibit strong antiviral activities in cell-based assays.YM155,an anti-cancer drug candidate in clinical trials,has the most potent antiviral activity with an EC50 value of 170 nmol/L.In addition,we have determined the crystal structures of this enzyme and its complex with YM155,revealing a unique binding mode.YM155 simultaneously targets three"hot"spots on PLpro,including the substrate-binding pocket,the interferon stimulating gene product 15(ISG15)binding site and zinc finger motif.Our results demonstrate the efficacy of this screening and repur-posing strategy,which has led to the discovery of new drug leads with clinical potential for COVID-19 treatments.  相似文献

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a new coronavirus strain that was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. A specific treatment for COVID-19 has yet to be identified. Potential therapeutic targets include SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) and the SARS-CoV-2 spike-ACE2 interaction. Molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD), solvent screening for the extraction of the specified compounds, and prediction of the drug properties of certain molecules were the methods used in this study to investigate compounds from the medicinal plant Myristica fragrans, which is one of twelve herbs in Prasachandaeng remedy (PSD). ArgusLab, AutoDock Vina, and AutoDock were used to perform docking tasks. The examined ligands were compared with panduratin A as a standard (Kanjanasirirat et al., 2020), which is a promising medicinal plant molecule for the treatment of COVID-19. Molecular docking revealed that malabaricones B and C and licarins A, B and C bound to SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 Mpro with low binding energies compared to that of the standard ligand. Furthermore, appropriate solvent usage is important. Acetone was selected by COSMOquick software for compound extraction in this investigation because it can extract large amounts of all five of the abovementioned M. fragrans compounds. Furthermore, the drug-like properties of these compounds were studied utilizing the Lipinski, Veber, and Ghose criteria. The results revealed that these M. fragrans compounds have potential as effective medicines to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. However, to assess the therapeutic potential of these ligands, additional research is needed, which will use our findings as a foundation.  相似文献

Docking analysis of propolis's natural compound was successfully performed against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) and spike protein subunit 2 (S2). Initially, the propolis's protein was screened using chromatography analysis and successfully identified 22 compounds in the propolis. Four compounds were further investigated, i.e., neoblavaisoflavone, methylophiopogonone A, 3′-Methoxydaidzin, and genistin. The binding affinity of 3′-Methoxydaidzin was ?7.7 kcal/mol, which is similar to nelfinavir (control), while the others were ?7.6 kcal/mol. However, we found the key residue of Glu A:166 in the methylophiopogonone A and genistin, even though the predicted binding energy slightly higher than nelfinavir. In contrast, the predicted binding affinity of neoblavaisoflavone, methylophiopogonone A, 3′-Methoxydaidzin, and genistin against S2 were ?8.1, ?8.2, ?8.3, and ?8.3 kcal/mol, respectively, which is far below of the control (pravastatin, ?7.3 kcal/mol). Instead of conventional hydrogen bonding, the π bonding influenced the binding affinity against S2. The results reveal that this is the first report about methylophiopogonone A, 3′-Methoxydaidzin, and genistin as candidates for anti-viral agents. Those compounds can then be further explored and used as a parent backbone molecule to develop a new supplementation for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections during COVID-19 outbreaks.  相似文献

2019年12月,由新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)引起的新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)在中国武汉暴发。SARS-CoV-2的基因组编码2种病毒蛋白酶,即木瓜样蛋白酶(Papain-like protease,PLpro)和3C样蛋白酶(3C-like protease)。其中PLpro是SARS-CoV-2复制酶复合体(RC)形成的重要调节蛋白分子,对于病毒基因组转录和复制至关重要。因此,将SARS-CoV-2 PLpro作为药物的靶点对COVID-19的治疗具有积极意义。本研究应用生物信息学工具分析新型冠状病毒的木瓜样蛋白酶的结构和功能,首先利用BLAST和BioEdit获取SARS-CoV-2 PLpro蛋白酶(SC2-PLpro)及其同源蛋白的氨基酸序列,并利用BLAST和MEGA 6.0进行同源性分析。之后,利用ProParam和Proscale分别对SC2-PLpro蛋白酶的理化性质、亲水性和疏水性进行分析。然后,通过SOMPA、ScanProsite和InterPro分别预测SC2-PLpro蛋白酶的二级结构和功能区域,进一步利用SignalP 4.0和TMHMM对SC2-PLpro蛋白酶的信号肽和跨膜区进行分析。最后,通过SWISS-MODEL对SARS-CoV-2 PLpro蛋白酶进行三级结构同源建模。结果显示,对SARS-CoV-2 PLpro蛋白酶与已报道的PLpro蛋白酶进行多序列比对后,发现SARS-CoV-2 nsp3的746~1063段氨基酸与多种冠状病毒PLpro蛋白酶氨基酸序列高度相似。同时,同源性分析发现SARS-CoV-2与蝙蝠冠状病毒的PLpro蛋白酶具有同源性,其中与QHR63299、AVP78030相似性最高。对SC2-PLpro进行理化性质预测结果显示,其由318个氨基酸所组成,为稳定亲水性蛋白。二级结构预测结果显示SC2-PLpro主要含有α-螺旋、延伸链、β-转角、无规卷曲,四种结构贯穿整条氨基酸链。进一步进行功能分析,发现其具有完整的催化三联体、锌结合域、泛素样N末端结构域,故推测该蛋白具有去泛素化的功能。然后,信号肽假说和跨膜结构域分析结果表明,SC2-PLpro既不是分泌蛋白,也不属于跨膜蛋白。本研究提示,生物信息学分析SC2-PLpro为稳定性亲水蛋白,属于非跨膜蛋白,比较保守,具有去泛素化的功能,利用此功能可以进一步规避宿主的固有免疫反应。通过制备PLpro蛋白酶小分子抑制剂,可能有助于治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎。  相似文献

The present study aimed to uncover the pharmacological function and underlying mechanism of puerarin as a potential treatment for COVID-19, using an in silico methodology, including network pharmacology and molecular docking. The pivotal targets of puerarin to treat COVID-19 were identified and included the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), tumour protein p53 (TP53), caspase 3 (CASP3), RELA proto-oncogene (RELA), Fos proto-oncogene (FOS), caspase 8 (CASP8), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), interleukin 2 (IL2), protein kinase CB (PRKCB), B cell lymphoma/leukaemia gene-2 (BCL2), protein kinase CA (PRKCA), nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) and peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor gamma (PPARG). Functionally, the anti–COVID-19 action of puerarin was associated with the suppression of oxidative stress and inflammatory cascades, and cell apoptosis. The signalling pathways of puerarin to treat COVID-19 included modulation of the pathways of apoptosis, IL-17 signalling, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling and TNF signalling. Molecular docking data illustrated the binding capacity of puerarin with COVID-19 and the effective anti–COVID-19 activity of puerarin. Taken together, our current network pharmacology–based findings revealed the pharmacological role of puerarin in the treatment of COVID-19. Furthermore, the bioinformatic findings elucidated that some of these pivotal targets might serve as potential molecular markers for detecting COVID-19.  相似文献

An outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been recognized as a global health concern. Since, no specific antiviral drug is proven effective for treatment against COVID-19, identification of new therapeutics is an urgent need. In this study, flavonoid compounds were analyzed for its inhibitory potential against important protein targets of SARS-CoV-2 using computational approaches. Virtual docking was performed for screening of flavonoid compounds retrieved from PubChem against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 using COVID-19 docking server. The cut off of dock score was set to >?9 kcal/mol and screened compounds were individually docked against main protease, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and spike proteins using AutoDock 4.1 software. Finally, lead flavonoid compounds were subjected to ADMET analysis. A total of 458 flavonoid compounds were virtually screened against main protease target and 36 compounds were selected based on the interaction energy value >?9 kcal/mol. Furthermore, these compounds were individually docked against protein targets and top 10 lead compounds were identified. Among the lead compounds, agathisflavone showed highest binding energy value of ?8.4 kcal/mol against main protease, Albireodelphin showed highest dock score of ?9.8 kcal/mol and ?11.2 kcal/mol against RdRp, and spike proteins, respectively. Based on the high dock score and ADMET properties, top 5 lead molecules such as Albireodelphin, Apigenin 7-(6″-malonylglucoside), Cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside-5-glucoside, Delphinidin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside 5-O-(6-coumaroyl-beta-D-glucoside) and (-)-Maackiain-3-O-glucosyl-6″-O-malonate were identified as potent inhibitors against main protease, RdRp, and spike protein targets of SARS-CoV-2. These all compounds are having non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic properties. This study finding suggests that the screened compounds include Albireodelphin, Apigenin 7-(6″-malonylglucoside), Cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside-5-glucoside, Delphinidin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside 5-O-(6-coumaroyl-beta-D-glucoside) and (-)-Maackiain-3-O-glucosyl-6″-O-malonate could be the potent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 targets.  相似文献

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic provokes scientists to make a prompt development of new effective therapeutic interventions for the battle against SARS-CoV-2. A new series of N-(5-nitrothiazol-2-yl)-carboxamido derivatives were designed and synthesised based on the structural optimisation principle of the SARS-CoV Mpro co-crystallized WR1 inhibitor. Notably, compound 3b achieved the most promising anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity with an IC50 value of 174.7 µg/mL. On the other hand, compounds 3a, 3b, and 3c showed very promising SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 4.67, 5.12, and 11.90 µg/mL, respectively. Compound 3b docking score was very promising (−6.94 kcal/mol) and its binding mode was nearly similar to that of WR1. Besides, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of compound 3b showed its great stability inside the binding pocket until around 40 ns. Finally, a very promising SAR was concluded to help to design more powerful SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors shortly.  相似文献

新型冠状病毒主蛋白酶(main protease, Mpro)通过水解多聚蛋白质体(polyprotein)调控病毒基因组RNA复制,且人体不存在其同源蛋白酶,这使Mpro成为抗新型冠状病毒药物开发的理想靶标之一。本研究基于荧光偏振技术(fluorescence polarization,FP)和生物素-亲和素反应(biotin-avidin system, BAS)原理,成功地建立了三明治样荧光偏振筛选模型用于Mpro小分子抑制剂的快速筛选。通过对天然产物化合物库进行高通量筛选,发现了漆树酸(anacardic acid,AA)是Mpro的竞争型抑制剂,1,2,3,4,6-O-五没食子酰葡萄糖(1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose,PGG)是Mpro的混合型抑制剂,且已报道的部分抑制剂是非特异性Mpro小分子抑制剂。文中建立的三明治样荧光偏振筛选模型具有良好的简便性、灵敏性和稳定性,初步证实了漆树酸和PGG是一类新型苗头化合物,建立科学严谨的活性评价体系对于抗新型冠状病毒药物的筛选与发现是至关重要的。  相似文献

The current novel corona virus illness (COVID-19) is a developing viral disease that was discovered in 2019. There is currently no viable therapeutic strategy for this illness management. Because traditional medication development and discovery has lagged behind the threat of emerging and re-emerging illnesses like Ebola, MERS-CoV, and, more recently, SARS-CoV-2. Drug developers began to consider drug repurposing (or repositioning) as a viable option to the more traditional drug development method. The goal of drug repurposing is to uncover new uses for an approved or investigational medicine that aren't related to its original use. The main benefits of this strategy are that there is less developmental risk and that it takes less time because the safety and pharmacologic requirements are met. The main protease (Mpro) of corona viruses is one of the well-studied and appealing therapeutic targets. As a result, the current research examines the molecular docking of Mpro (PDB ID: 5R81) conjugated repurposed drugs. 12,432 approved drugs were collected from ChEMBL and drugbank libraries, and docked separately into the receptor grid created on 5R81, using the three phases of molecular docking including high throughput virtual screening (HTVS), standard precision (SP), and extra precision (XP). Based on docking scores and MM-GBSA binding free energy calculation, top three drugs (kanamycin, sulfinalol and carvedilol) were chosen for further analyses for molecular dynamic simulations.  相似文献

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 genome has undergone several mutations. The emergence of such variants has resulted in multiple pandemic waves, contributing to sustaining to date the number of infections, hospitalisations, and deaths despite the swift development of vaccines, since most of these mutations are concentrated on the Spike protein, a viral surface glycoprotein that is the main target for most vaccines. A milestone in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic has been represented by the development of Paxlovid, the first orally available drug against COVID-19, which acts on the Main Protease (Mpro). In this article, we analyse the structural features of both the Spike protein and the Mpro of the recently reported SARS-CoV-2 variant XE, as well the closely related XD and XF ones, discussing their impact on the efficacy of existing treatments against COVID-19 and on the development of future ones.  相似文献
