The outbreak of viral pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that began in December 2019 caused high mortality. It has been suggested that the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 may be an important target to discover pharmaceutical compounds for the therapy of this life-threatening disease. Remdesivir, ritonavir and chloroquine have all been reported to play a role in suppressing SARS-CoV-2. Here, we applied a molecular docking method to study the binding stability of these drugs with SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. It appeared that the ligand–protein binding stability of the alliin and SARS-CoV-2 Mpro complex was better than others. The results suggested that alliin may serve as a good candidate as an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Therefore, the present research may provide some meaningful guidance for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2.

<p>In this study, a research strategy combining network pharmacological analysis, protein docking and molecular docking virtual computation was adopted. It was found that phillyrin and chlorogenic acid could block the combination of 2019-nCoV S-protein and ACE2 at the molecular level. Both can be used as potential inhibitors of 2019-nCoV for further research and development. </p>

Phytochemicals from Bhringaraj plant extract are traditionally used to cure Pneumonia. It is caused by Klebsiella pneumonia. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that glutamic acid can effectively deactivate the dehydrogenase enzyme, thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism.

Phytochemicals from Michelia champaca L. plant extract are traditionally used to cure cough.  Cough can be caused by many reasons. Caugh can be caused by the infection of Bordetella pertussis. The objective of the study is to identify the phytochemical of Michelia champaca capable of curing cough. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that magnoflorine can effectively deactivate the peptidase Do enzyme which will interrupt the life cycle of the microorganism and inhibit the multiplication.

Phytochemicals from Capsicum anum L. plant extract are traditionally used to cure bronchitis. Bronchitis is caused by Haemophilus influenzae. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that myrcetin and quercetin can effectively deactivate the Palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase enzyme thereby interrupting the life cycle of Haemophilus influenza.
