To characterize the synchronicity of the reaction and its correlation with activation energy, we estimated the energy barrier of transition states (<em>E</em>_TS1^≠ and <em>E</em>_TS2^≠) in the used solvents. The highest <em>E</em>_TS1^≠ and <em>E</em>_TS2^≠ value are found in water solvent, whereas the lowest <em>E</em>_TS1^≠ and <em>E</em>_TS2^≠ value are considered in the gas phase. Formation of the TS2 appears energetically less favorable due to the non-bonding electrostatic repulsion among the sulfur heteroatoms and <strong>C₂₀</strong>, also the π–stacking between the thiophene ring and nanocage, which affects the stability of the TSs. The most thermodynamic stability, the adsorption energy difference among liquid phase and gas phase (Δ<em>E</em>_l-g = <em>E</em>_l − <em>E</em>_g), and the most polarity (µ) belongs to stabilizing effect of water solvent on <strong>I_a</strong>, whereas the lowest thermodynamic stability, the lowest released Δ<em>E</em>_l-g and the least polarity belongs to optimization of <strong>I_a</strong> in the gas phase. This stabilizing effect is attributed to the possibility of hydrogen bonding and dipole–dipole interaction in the water. The n→π* donation of N–C═S leads to a stronger interaction between sulfur heteroatom of <strong>I</strong> and fullerene.

The natural product of <em>Allium</em> contains several reactive sulfur compounds that may covalently modify the active site cysteine thiols of coronavirus proteases. The report has assessed the binding affinity of the 52 different sulfur compounds of <em>Allium</em> against both M^pro and PL^pro of coronavirus by conventional docking methods.
