Chemical constituents from coconut waste and their in silico evaluation as potential antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: Eleven compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Cocos nucifera L endocarp, jezonofol 1, scirpusin A 2, cassigarol G 3, maackin A 4, threoguiacyl glycerol-8'-vanillic acid ether 5, erythroguiacyl glycerol-8'-vanillic acid ether 6, apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside 7, piceatannol 8, p-hydroxy-benzoic acid 9, protocatechuic acid 10 and vanillic acid 11. Compounds 1-7 were isolated for the first time from the plant. The isolated compounds were virtually screened against four critical components of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the main protease (M^pro), papain-like protease (PL^pro), nonstructural protein 13 (nsp13
