Traditional medicinal plants have long history to treat viral infections. Our in silico approach suggested that unique phytocompounds such as emodin, thymol and carvacrol, and artemisinin could physically bind SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins (6VXX and 6VYB), SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 South Africa variant of Spike glycoprotein (7NXA), and even with ACE2 and prevent the SARS-CoV-2 binding to the host ACE2, TMPRSS2 and neutrapilin-1 receptors. Since Chloroquine has been looked as potential therapy against COVID-19, we also compared the binding of chloroquine and artemisinin for its interaction with spike proteins (6VXX, 6VYB) and its variant 7NXA, respectively. Molecular docking study of phytocompounds and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was performed by using AutoDock/Vina software. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed for 50ns. Among all the phytocompounds, molecular docking studies revealed lowest binding energy of artemisinin with 6VXX and 6VYB, with E<sub>total</sub> -10.5 KJ mol<sup>-1</sup> and -10.3 KJ mol<sup>-1</sup> respectively. Emodin showed the best binding affinity with 6VYB with E<sub>total</sub> -8.8 KJ mol<sup>-1</sup>and SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 variant (7NXA) with binding energy of -6.4KJ mol<sup>-1</sup>. Emodin showed best interactions with TMPRSS 2 and ACE2 with E<sub>total</sub> of -7.1 and -7.3 KJ mol<sup>-1</sup> respectively, whereas artemisinin interacts with TMPRSS 2 and ACE2 with E<sub>total</sub> of -6.9 and -7.4 KJ mol<sup>-1</sup> respectively. All the phytocompounds were non-toxic and non-carcinogenic. MD simulation showed that artemisinin has more stable interaction with 6VYB as compared to 6VXX, and hence proposed as potential phytochemical to prevent SARS-CoV-2 interaction with ACE-2 receptor.</p><p><strong>Graphical abstract: </strong></p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40495-021-00259-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":11139,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmacology Reports","volume":"7 4","pages":"135-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8279807/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10651643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
