Screening of Secondary Metabolites in <i>Artemisia annua</i> as Potential Inhibitors of Coronavirus Proteases by <i>in silico</i> Approaches
Abstract:To date, no specific drug has been proven to treat COVID-19. It encourages people to use medicinal plants to treat or protect themselves against these diseases. Artemisia annua is one of the promising plants that have already been used in coronary disease. However, the antiviral compounds present in this plant remain poorly known. In this study, we aimed to identify some of these molecules by in silico approach. During the screening, 102 secondary metabolites of Artemisia annua were selected and the two viral … Show more
