Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Bioactive Compounds Against Six Protein Target of Sars-Cov-2 As Covid-19 Antivirus Candidates (original) (raw)

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the virus that causes Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). To date, there has been no proven effective drug for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. A study on developing inhibitors for this virus was performed using molecular dynamics simulation. 3CL-Pro, PL-Pro, Helicase, N, E, and M protein were used as protein targets. This study aimed to determine the stability of the selected protein-ligand complex through molecular dynamics simulation by Amber20 to propose bioactive compounds from natural products that have potential as a drug for COVID-19. Based on our previous study, the best value of free binding energy and protein-ligand interactions of the candidate compounds are obtained for each target protein through molecular docking. Corilagin (-14.42 kcal/mol), Scutellarein 7-rutinoside (-13.2 kcal/mol), Genistein 7-O-glucuronide (-10.52 kcal/mol), Biflavonoid-flavone base + 3O (-11.88 and -9.61 kcal/mol), and Enoxolone (-...
