Abstract: COVID-19 is a new disease. Many people feel the impact of this disease. There is no definite cure for COVID-19, so many people use traditional medicine to ward off COVID-19, including ginger. This study aims to determine whether there is an interaction between compounds in ginger (gingerol and zingiberol) and the COVID-19’s main protease (6LU7). This study uses a molecular docking method using 4 main applications, namely Autodock Tools, Autodock Vina, Biovia Discovery Studio 2020, and Open Babel GUI. The samples used were gingerol and zingiberol compounds in ginger plants downloaded from Pubchem. The data used in this study used Mendeley, Clinical Key, and PubMed database. The study showed that almost all of the amino acid residues in the gingerol compound acted on the 6LU7 active site, whereas the zingiberol did not. The results of the binding affinity of ginger compounds, both gingerol and zingiberol, do not exceed the binding affinity of remdesivir, a drug that is widely researched as a COVID-19 handling drug. In conclusion, gingerol and zingiberol compounds in ginger can’t be considered as COVID-19’s treatment.Keywords: molecular docking, gingerol, zingiberol Abstrak: COVID-19 merupakan sebuah penyakit yang baru.

Abstract Iradoides are a small class of plant derived natural products, which used in traditional system of medicine such as Unani, Tibetan, Ayurveda, Siddha, and Chinese medicine. The several diverse types of iradoides have been isolated from many parts of the plant such as root, leaves, flowers, stem, rhizomes, bark, and seed. Here, we used bioactive iradoides to know the potency against COVID-19 Mpro. The COVID-19 Mpro is a potential target of the drug, which identified by Chinese scientist (published manuscript in Nature on June 2020). From several studies, we found that many natural products such as flavonoids, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, and synthesized compounds have been used on this target (COVID-19 Mpro). We screened a series of iradoides against COVID-19 Mpro (PDB ID: 6LU7) by using many docking software as BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2017 R2, Chimera 1.13.1, Auto Dock Tools-1.5.6, AutoDock Vina to known best inhibitor against COVID-19 Mpro. According to obtained results, 6′-O-trans-feruloylnegundoside, p-hydroxybenzoyl-6′-O-trans-caffeoylgardoside, 2′-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl gardoside, 6-deoxyharpagide, reptoside show binding energies -8.1, -8.3, -8.2, -7.0, and -7.1 Kcal/mol, respectively. From this study, we found that all iradoides show more potency on COVID-19 Mpro when compared with Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. The Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine used as standards for comparison. From the results of this study, we found that iradoides may be useful in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Objetivo: avaliar o perfil de interações entre os flavonoides frente às proteínas-chave da infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2, e de modo secundário, objetivou-se analisar as propriedades destes constituintes químicos frente à Regra de Lipinski como potenciais candidatos a fármacos. Metodologia: Este estudo caracteriza-se como do tipo quantitativo descritivo de caráter experimental, através de métodos computacionais, onde foram utilizados os programas AutoDock Tools, AutoDock  Vina, Biovia Discovery Studio e ChimeraX para a realização do acoplamento molecular entre os principais flavonoides presentes nas plantas do gênero Lavandula com a proteína M e o complexo entre a Enzima Conversora de Angiotensina 2 e o domínio de ligação do receptor da proteína S do SARS-CoV-2. Resultados: Analisando-se as interações isoladas de cada flavonoide com as proteínas, nota-se que os compostos apresentaram interações mais favoráveis com a Enzima Conversora de Angiotensina 2 e o domínio de ligação do receptor. Para a regra de Lipinski, a Delfinidina apresentou duas violações, sendo considerada, neste contexto, uma molécula pouco promissora. Conclusão: Conclui-se, portanto, que os flavonoides apresentam in silico um potencial inibitório para as proteínas testadas, sendo mais favorável ao complexo da Enzima Conversora de Angiotensina 2 com o domínio de ligação ao receptor. Frente à regra de Lipinski, apenas a Delfinidina demonstrou baixo potencial para candidata a fármaco, contudo, o uso de nanocarreadores poderia contornar algumas de suas limitações.

This study aimed to predict the binding affinity, orientation, and physical interaction between limonene and fat mass and obesity-associated protein. The mechanism of limonene and protein association was explored by molecular docking, a bioinformatic tool. The results of association were compared with the reported results of the anti-obesity drug such as orlistat and with the flavonoids. AutoDock Vina tools were used for the molecular docking of limonene with fat mass and obesity-associated protein. PyMol and Discovery Studio Visualizer were used to visualize the results of this docking. The binding affinity of limonene was higher (Least negative G) than the orlistat and flavonoids such as Daidzein, Exemestane, Kaempherol, Letrozole, And Rutin. It is conducted in this study that the Limonene can alleviate obesity by making an interaction with the fat mass and obesity-associated protein. This inhibitory interaction was greater as compared to other reported phytochemicals and drugs.

Hydroquinone has been used in cosmetics because of its whitening activity. In previous studies, B-carotene in Moringa plants was also known as an inhibitor of the tyrosinase enzyme. It is necessary to know how the interaction mechanism of B-carotene with tyrosinase (5M8N) and which compounds between hydroquinone and B-carotene provide computationally better activity as whitening. Tyrosinase was prepared using Discovery Studio Visualizer. Ligands were prepared using Autodock 4.2. Autodock-Vina is used for ligand docking between proteins. The result is the binding affinity (kcal/mol) of the ligand to protein. Visualization of docking between ligands and proteins using the Ligplot + Program with a 1 year license. Media used for the docking process is a computer with an Intel Core i7-3770 CPU with a speed of 3.40 GHz 8 cores, 1920x1080p resolution, VGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, 8 GB RAM, Windows 8 64-bit. The docking results showed that the binding affinity of B-carotene to tyrosinase was -11.2 while hydroquinone with tyrosinase was -5.4 with RMSD 0. The results of visualization showed that B-carotene binds more amino acid receptors than hydroquinone. B-carotene in moringa has been shown to be active not only in wet laboratories, but also in dry laboratories.

Background: There are studies indicating that aqueous or hydroalcoholic dill extracts showed higher antioxidant activity compared to other fractions. Molecular docking studies would be relevant to get information on the mechanism of action of the phenolic constituents of Anethum graveolens seed extracts as bioactive compounds. Methodology: In order to perform the docking studies of antioxidant activity of phenolic constituents of Anethum graveolens seed extracts, BIOVIA Discovery Studio and AutoDock Vina software were used. Results: The orientation of flavonoids within Hck and CYP2C9 binding sites has been shown to be the main reason for their inhibitory potency. Conclusion: Molecular docking studies indicate that the compounds identified interact with the target enzymes Hck and CYP2C9 at molecular level through their condensed ring systems and hydroxyl substituents and therefore support the antioxidant capacity of the studied phenolic compounds.
