  • ABSTRACT: The pandemic outbreak of the Corona viral infection has become a critical global health issue. Biophysical and structural evidence shows that spike protein possesses a high binding affinity towards host angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and viral hemagglutinin-acetylesterase (HE) glycoprotein receptor. We selected HE as a target in this study to identify potential inhibitors using a combination of various computational approaches such as molecular docking, ADMET analysis, dynamics simulations and binding free energy calculations. Virtual screening of NPACT compounds identified 3,4,5-Trihydroxy-1,8-bis[(2R,3R)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-2-yl]benzo[7]annulen-6-one, Silymarin, Withanolide D, Spirosolane and Oridonin as potential HE inhibitors with better binding energy. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations for 100 ns time scale revealed that most of the key HE contacts were retained throughout the simulations trajectories. Binding free energy calculations using MM/PBSA approach ranked the top-five potential NPACT compounds which can act as effective HE inhibitors.
