Abstract

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the virus that causes Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). To date, there has been no proven effective drug for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. A study on developing inhibitors for this virus was performed using molecular dynamics simulation. 3CL-Pro, PL-Pro, Helicase, N, E, and M protein were used as protein targets. This study aimed to determine the stability of the selected protein-ligand complex through molecular dynamics simulation by Amber20 to propose bioactive compounds from natural products that have potential as a drug for COVID-19. Based on our previous study, the best value of free binding energy and protein-ligand interactions of the candidate compounds are obtained for each target protein through molecular docking. Corilagin (-14.42 kcal/mol), Scutellarein 7-rutinoside (-13.2 kcal/mol), Genistein 7-O-glucuronide (-10.52 kcal/mol), Biflavonoid-flavone base + 3O (-11.88 and -9.61 kcal/mol), and Enoxolone (-6.96 kcal/mol) has the best free energy value at each protein target. In molecular dynamics simulation, the 3CL-Pro-Corilagin complex was the most stable compared to other complexes, so that it was the most recommended compound. Further research is needed to test the selected ligand activity, which has the lowest free energy value of the six target proteins.

Abstract

Emprit and red ginger essential oils (EOs) are natural sources of antioxidants that have the potential to be used in cosmetics, one of which is as an anti-skin-aging. The aim of this study was to determine the component differences and anti-skin-aging potential of the two EOs. The components were determined by GC-MS, while discrimination was done by chemometric. The potential of the components as the anti-skin-aging were evaluated by molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. A total 66 components were identified in both EOs, where eucalyptol (17.92%) and camphene (15.12%) were the main component in emprit and red ginger, respectively. Chemometric analysis revealed two discriminant clusters highlighting their dissimilarity with germacrene D and α-zingiberene are the key markers for differentiation. The docking and MD simulations were demonstrated the four main components of emprit EO, namely α-curcumene, α-zingiberene, β-bisabolene and β-sesquiphellandrene, have the best docking scores and interact with the enzymes with a relatively stable interaction. AdmetSAR evaluation of the four components has shown good bioavailability and declared safe. This study succeeded in revealing two ginger EOs differences based on their components and demonstrated the emprit ginger EO was more promising as a natural anti-skin-aging agent for further research.
