Screening of phytochemicals as potent inhibitor of 3-chymotrypsin and papain-like proteases of SARS-CoV2: an in silico approach to combat COVID-19.

TL;DR: Amentoflavone and Gallocatechin gallate may be potential inhibitors of 3CLpro and PLpro proteins and effective drug candidates for SARS-CoV2, but the findings need to be supported by in vivo studies to establish the exact mode of action.

Structural basis of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro and anti-COVID-19 drug discovery from medicinal plants.

TL;DR: Analysis of the 3CLpro sequence, constructed its 3D homology model, and screened it against a medicinal plant library containing 32,297 potential anti-viral phytochemicals/traditional Chinese medicinal compounds revealed that the top nine hits might serve as potentialAnti- SARS-CoV-2 lead molecules for further optimisation and drug development process to combat COVID-19.

Composition and divergence of coronavirus spike proteins and host ACE2 receptors predict potential intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: Systematic comparison and analysis used to predict the interaction between the receptor‐binding domain (RBD) of coronavirus spike protein and the host receptor, angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) indicated that turtles may act as the potential intermediate hosts transmitting SARS‐CoV‐2 to humans.

Inhibition of SARS-CoV 3CL protease by flavonoids.

TL;DR: Herbacetin, rhoifolin and pectolinarin were found to efficiently block the enzymatic activity of SARS-CoV 3CLpro and are suggested to be templates to design functionally improved inhibitors.
