Molecular mechanical study of halogen bonding in drug discovery

TL;DR: This research is the first reported molecular mechanical study of halogen bonding, the positive region centered on the halogen atom was represented by an extra‐point (EP) of charge, which resulted in an improvement in the accuracy of the electrostatic‐potential derived charges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanical perspective on halogen bonding.

TL;DR: Molecular mechanics using the APCtMI approach showed that electrostatic interactions between chloromethane and a Lewis base are unfavorable owing to the high negative charge on the chlorine atom, which overcomes the corresponding favorable van der Waals interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural-like products as potential SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors: in-silico drug discovery

TL;DR: In-silico drug discovery approaches have been utilized to identify potential natural products (NPs) as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro) inhibitors and the prospects of the identified NLPs as potential drug candidates are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repurposing of FDA-approved antivirals, antibiotics, anthelmintics, antioxidants, and cell protectives against SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease.

TL;DR: Phenformin, quercetin, and ritonavir all demonstrated prospective binding affinities for COVID-19 PLpro over 50 ns MD simulations, with binding energy values of −56.6, −40.9, and −37.6 kcal/mol, respectively.
