In silico analysis of selected alkaloids against main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2.

TLDR
Twenty potential alkaloid molecules that possess antiviral activity against different viral diseases have been taken into consideration and scrutinized using Lipinski's rule and two alkaloids namely thalimonine and sophaline D showed potential activity to inhibit the Mpro but to confirm the claim further in-vitro studies are required.
