Zusammenfassung: | The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus has been spreading rapidly, and scientists are endeavouring to discover drugs for its efficacious treatment. Chloroquine phosphate, an old drug for treatment of malaria, has shown to have apparent efficacy and acceptable safety against COVID-19. As a part of Drug Discovery Hackathon-2020, in this study, the authors have tried making the derivatives of CQ and HCQ using MarvinSketch by ChemAxon. Molecular docking studies of these ligands were performed using Glide by Schrodinger, and ADME profiles were obtained by using QikProp. The obtained results after data analysis demonstrated that ligands HCQ_imidazoll, choloroquine_3c, HCQ_pyrrolC had good binding affinity and complied with all the ADME parameters. The molecular dynamic simulation of these ligands in complex with the 2019-nCoV RBD/ACE-2-B0AT1 complex PDB ID: 6M17 were carried out, and the parameters like RMSD, RMSF, and radius of gyration were observed to understand the fluctuations and protein-ligand interaction. |
