ABSTRACT

 

Kumar V, Goswami S, Namdeo R, Jain R., In silico drug targets for SARS coronavirus, Onl J Bioinform., 25 (2) : 94-112, 2024. We report spike, helicase, 3CLpro and RdRp SARS spike virus protein targets for drug development through structure based drug designing (SBDD).. 3-D structures of target protein were generated by homology modeling MODELER. “CHEMSKETCH” and “LIGBUILDER” to generate ligand molecules against most active sites of each target. The Ligand molecules having lowest docking energy (LigS-7 -13.11 Kcal/mol; LigR-6 -10.01Kcal/mol; LigH-5 -172354.75Kcal/mol; LigP-3 -410013.45Kca/mol) were validated by MOLINSPIRATION and OSIRIS to yield LigS-7, LigR-6, LigH-5 and LigP-3 non-allergic, mutagenic, tumorigenic safe to reproductive system. Molinspiration suggested active molecules with low molecular weight, non allergic, efficient absorption, following Lipinski’s rule of five with IUPAC active against spike proteins were 1S,3R-6-cyclopentyl-1,3-dimethylhexyl]amino}acetaldehyde, 2[(hexylamino)methyl]heptanoic acid, 2-{[(4-hexylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]amino}-2-oxoethyl acetate and (2R,3R,6S)-3-amino-2-ethyl-6-methyldecanoic acid.

 

Key words: Heptad repeat regions, non structural proteins, SBDD.
