Abstract
Background: COVID-19 has spread worldwide and become a great cause of economic and social loss. Due to the non-availability of effective medicine/drug, its control has become a difficult task.
Objective: In the present study, the effect of some selected natural plant products was studied on the Hemagglutinin-esterase of the human coronavirus by performing molecular docking.
Methods: Molecular docking study for some selected natural plant products against Hemagglutininesterase (HE) of human coronavirus was performed using the HEX 8.0.0 software.
Results: The free binding energy ranged from -298.14 to -161, with that of curcumin being the highest.
Conclusions: The results suggest that the natural plant products could act as possible anti-viral agents and may be used as natural therapeutic agents.
Keywords: Coronavirus, natural plant products, molecular docking, hemagglutinin-esterase, non-covalent interactions, proteinligand.
