“…From molecular docking study on ~4,000 known drugs from the DrugCentral database (Br et al, 2020) and ~7,000 antiviral agents from the Asinex database (Farouk et al, 2021) on the S/ACE2 interface followed by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation of screened compounds, the glycyrrhizic acid and the compound 6,612 with the highest binding affinity from the two following databases, respectively, were suggested for further in vitro and/or in vivo tests. The molecular docking, and physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and MD studies indicated the solanine, acetoside, and rutin from plantbased natural compounds as the S and Mpro dual inhibitors (Teli et al, 2020;Deetanya et al, 2021). Moreover, several natural herbal compounds such as luteolin, andrographolide, zhebeirine, 3-dehydroverticine, ophiopogonin D, glycyrrhizin, saikosaponin C, crocin-1, and militarine formed strong hydrogen bonds at RBD could prevent the viral binding to ACE2 receptor (Stalin et al, 2021).…”
