(2R,3S)-5,7-二(苄氧基)-2-[3,4-二(苄氧基)苯基]-3-色满醇 | 5,7,3',4'-tetra-O-benzyl-(+)-catechin | 20728-73-8 | C43H38O6 | 650.771 |
A new stain of corona virus COVID-19 got worldwide attention and has affected almost whole of the world population. Currently there is no specific vaccine or drug against COVID-19. Xu et al. (2020) built a homolog model of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro based on SARS-CoV Mpro which is considered as target to inhibit the replication of CoV.
The aim of current study is to find potential inhibitors of COVID-19 Mpro using docking analysis.
Autodockvina was used to carry out Protein-Ligand docking. COVID-19 main protease Mpro was docked with catechin and its different synthetic derivatives. Nelfinavir is an antiretroviral drug belongs to protease inhibitors was taken as standard.
According to the result obtained it was found that Compound (4) and Compound (1) have more affinity than nelfinavir.
Compounds have a great potential to become COVID-19 main protease Mpro inhibitor. Nevertheless for their medicinal use further investigation is necessary.
