Molecular docking prediction of carvone and trans‐geraniol inhibitability towards SARS‐CoV‐2

ABSTRACT: Abstract Carvone and geraniol, well‐known by their biological activity, could be promising natural inhibitors for angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (UniProtKB‐Q9BYF1), SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (PDB‐6LU7), and SARS‐CoV‐2 spike glycoprotein (PDB‐6VSB). Quantum properties of R‐(‐)‐carvone (CA1), S‐(+)‐carvone (CA2), and trans‐geraniol (GE) were examined using density functional theory (DFT). Their inhibitability towards the targeted proteins was evaluated using molecular docking simulation. Lipinski's criteria were utilised to preliminarily screen drug‐likeness of the potential inhibitors. Quantum analysis suggests that the compounds are highly favourable for intermolecular interaction towards protein structures. The overall inhibitability of the ligands follows the order GE > CA2 > CA1. Their biologically rigid conformation is given by RMSD registering under 2 Å in any systems. The expected inhibition is explainable by topographical complementarity between the inhibitory aducts. All the candidates are predicted compatible with pharmaceutical applications in physiological environments. Their high polarisability is also conducive to inhibitory activity towards highly polarised protein‐structures. The study proposes carvone and geraniol to be promising for natural medication‐assisted agents supporting treatment against infection caused by SARS‐CoV‐2.

Prediction of potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 using 3D-QSAR, molecular docking modeling and ADMET properties.

Project description:Coronavirus (COVID-19), an enveloped RNA virus, primarily affects human beings. It has been deemed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic. For this reason, COVID-19 has become one of the most lethal viruses which the modern world has ever witnessed although some established pharmaceutical companies allege that they have come up with a remedy for COVID-19. To that end, a set of carboxamides sulfonamide derivatives has been under study using 3D-QSAR approach. CoMFA and CoMSIA are one of the most cardinal techniques used in molecular modeling to mold a worthwhile 3D-QSAR model. The expected predictability has been achieved using the CoMFA model (Q2 = 0.579; R2 = 0.989; R2test = 0.791) and the CoMSIA model (Q2 = 0.542; R2 = 0.975; R2test = 0.964). In a similar vein, the contour maps extracted from both CoMFA and CoMSIA models provide much useful information to determine the structural requirements impacting the activity; subsequently, these contour maps pave the way for proposing 8 compounds with important predicted activities. The molecular surflex-docking simulation has been adopted to scrutinize the interactions existing between potentially and used antimalarial molecule on a large scale, called Chloroquine (CQ) and the proposed carboxamides sulfonamide analogs with COVID-19 main protease (PDB: 6LU7). The outcomes of the molecular docking point out that the new molecule P1 has high stability in the active site of COVID-19 and an efficient binding affinity (total scoring) in relation with the Chloroquine. Last of all, the newly designed carboxamides sulfonamide molecules have been evaluated for their oral bioavailability and toxicity, the results point out that these scaffolds have cardinal ADMET properties and can be granted as reliable inhibitors against COVID-19.

Molecular docking, validation, dynamics simulations, and pharmacokinetic prediction of natural compounds against the SARS-CoV-2 main-protease.

Project description:The study aims to evaluate the potency of two hundred natural antiviral phytocompounds against the active site of the Severe Acquired Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Main-Protease (Mpro) using AutoDock 4.2.6. The three- dimensional crystal structure of the Mpro (PDB Id: 6LU7) was retrieved from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), the active site was predicted using MetaPocket 2.0. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved viral protease inhibitors were used as standards for comparison of results. The compounds theaflavin-3-3'-digallate, rutin, hypericin, robustaflavone, and (-)-solenolide A with respective binding energy of -12.41 (Ki = 794.96 pM); -11.33 (Ki = 4.98 nM); -11.17 (Ki = 6.54 nM); -10.92 (Ki = 9.85 nM); and -10.82 kcal/mol (Ki = 11.88 nM) were ranked top as Coronavirus Disease - 2019 (COVID-19) Mpro inhibitors. The interacting amino acid residues were visualized using Discovery Studio 3.5 to elucidate the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional interactions. The study was validated by i) re-docking the N3-peptide inhibitor-Mpro and superimposing them onto co-crystallized complex and ii) docking decoy ligands to Mpro. The ligands that showed low binding energy were further predicted for and pharmacokinetic properties and Lipinski's rule of 5 and the results are tabulated and discussed. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for 50 ns for those compounds using the Desmond package, Schrödinger to assess the conformational stability and fluctuations of protein-ligand complexes during the simulation. Thus, the natural compounds could act as a lead for the COVID-19 regimen after in-vitro and in- vivo clinical trials.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Molecular docking of potential SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease inhibitors.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease is considered as an important potential target for anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug discovery due to its crucial roles in viral spread and innate immunity. Here, we have utilized an in silico molecular docking approach to identify the possible inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease, by screening 21 antiviral, antifungal and anticancer compounds. Among them, Neobavaisoflavone has the highest binding energy for SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease. These molecules could bind near the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease crucial catalytic triad, ubiquitination and ISGylation residues: Trp106, Asn109, Cys111, Met208, Lys232, Pro247, Tyr268, Gln269, His272, Asp286 and Thr301. Because blocking the papain-like protease is an important strategy in fighting against viruses, these compounds might be promising candidates for therapeutic intervention against COVID-19.

Targeting SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid oligomerization: Insights from molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations.

Project description:The outbreak of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus continually led to infect a large population worldwide. Currently, there is no specific viral protein-targeted therapeutics. The Nucleocapsid (N) protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is necessary for viral RNA replication and transcription. The C-terminal domain of N protein (CTD) involves in the self-assembly of N protein into a filament that is packaged into new virions. In this study, the CTD (PDB ID: 6WJI) was targeted for the identification of possible inhibitors of oligomerization of N protein. Herein, multiple computational approaches were employed to explore the potential mechanisms of binding and inhibitor activity of five antiviral drugs toward CTD. The five anti-N drugs studied in this work are 4E1RCat, Silmitasertib, TMCB, Sapanisertib, and Rapamycin. Among the five drugs, 4E1RCat displayed highest binding affinity (-10.95 kcal/mol), followed by rapamycin (-8.91 kcal/mol), silmitasertib (-7.89 kcal/mol), TMCB (-7.05 kcal/mol), and sapanisertib (-6.14 kcal/mol). Subsequently, stability and dynamics of the protein-drug complex were examined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Overall, drug binding increases the stability of the complex with maximum stability observed in the case of 4E1RCat. The CTD-drug complex systems behave differently in terms of the free energy landscape and showed differences in population distribution. Overall, the MD simulation parameters like RMSD, RMSF, Rg, hydrogen bonds analysis, PCA, FEL, and DCCM analysis indicated that 4E1RCat and TMCB complexes were more stable as compared to silmitasertib and sapanisertib and thus could act as effective drug compounds against CTD.

Drug repurposing for SARS-CoV-2 main protease: Molecular docking and molecular dynamics investigations

Project description: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.

Project description:Presently world is on a war with the novel coronavirus and with no immediate treatments available the scourge caused by the SARS-CoV-2 is increasing day by day. A lot of researches are going on for the potential drug candidate that could help the healthcare system in this fight. Plants are a natural data bank of bioactive compounds. Many phytochemicals are being studied for various ailments including cancer, bacterial and viral infections, etc. The present study aims to screen 38 bioactive compounds from 5 selected plants viz., Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Ocimum basilicum and Panax ginseng against SARS-CoV-2. Lipinski's rule was taken as the foundation for initial screening. Shortlisted compounds were subjected to molecular docking study with Mpro receptor present in SARS-CoV-2. The study identified that gedunin, epoxyazadiradione, nimbin and ginsenosides have potential to inhibit Mpro activity and their binding energies are - 9.51 kcal/mol, - 8.47 kcal/mol, - 8.66 kcal/mol and - 9.63 kcal/mol respectively. Based on bioavailability radar studies gedunin and epoxyazadiradione are the two most potent compounds which are used for molecular dynamics simulation studies. Molecular dynamics studies showed that gedunin is more potent than epoxyazadiradione. To find the effectiveness and to propose the exact mechanism, in-vitro studies can be further performed on gedunin.

Computational molecular docking and virtual screening revealed promising SARS-CoV-2 drugs.

Project description:The pandemic of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rampaged the world, with more than 58.4 million confirmed cases and over 1.38 million deaths across the world by 23 November 2020. There is an urgent need to identify effective drugs and vaccines to fight against the virus. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the family of coronaviruses consisting of four structural and 16 non-structural proteins (NSP). Three non-structural proteins, main protease (Mpro), papain-like protease (PLpro), and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), are believed to have a crucial role in replication of the virus. We applied computational ligand-receptor binding modeling and performed comprehensive virtual screening on FDA-approved drugs against these three SARS-CoV-2 proteins using AutoDock Vina, Glide, and rDock. Our computational studies identified six novel ligands as potential inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2, including antiemetics rolapitant and ondansetron for Mpro; labetalol and levomefolic acid for PLpro; and leucal and antifungal natamycin for RdRp. Molecular dynamics simulation confirmed the stability of the ligand-protein complexes. The results of our analysis with some other suggested drugs indicated that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine had high binding energy (low inhibitory effect) with all three proteins-Mpro, PLpro, and RdRp. In summary, our computational molecular docking approach and virtual screening identified some promising candidate SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors that may be considered for further clinical studies.
