Introduction:
Natural products or phytochemicals have always been useful as effective therapeutics and for providing the lead for rational drug discovery approaches specific to anti-viral therapeutics.
Methods:
The ongoing pandemic caused by novel coronavirus has created a demand for effective therapeutics. Thus, to achieve the primary objective to search for effective anti-viral therapeutics, in silico screening of phytochemicals present in Curcuma longa extract (ex. Curcumin) has been planned.
Results:
The present work involves the evaluation of ADME properties and molecular docking studies.
Conclusion:
The application of rationalized drug discovery approaches to screen the diverse natural resources will speed up the anti-COVID drug discovery efforts and benefit the global community.
