Computational approach investigation bioactive molecules from Saussurea Costus plant as SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors using reverse docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and pharmacokinetic ADMET parameters.

ABSTRACT: SARS-COV-2 virus causes (COVID-19) disease; it has become a global pandemic since 2019 and has negatively affected all aspects of human life. Scientists have made great efforts to find a reliable cure, vaccine, or treatment for this emerging disease. Efforts have been directed towards using medicinal plants as alternative medicines, as the active chemical compounds in them have been discovered as potential antiviral or anti-inflammatory agents. In this research, the potential of Saussurea costus (S. Costus) or QUST Al Hindi chemical consistent as potential antiviral agents was investigated by using computational methods such as Reverse Docking, ADMET, and Molecular Dynamics with different proteases COVID-19 such as PDB: 2GZ9; 6LU7; 7AOL, 6Y2E, 6Y84. The results of Reverse Docking the compl
