Beside bioactivities, density functional theory (DFT) methods were used to study the electronic structure and properties of synthesized compounds (<b>2a-m</b>). The potential of synthesized compounds for possible antiviral targets is also predicted through molecular docking methods. The compounds <b>2e</b> and <b>2h</b> showed good binding affinities and inhibition constants to be considered as therapeutic target for M<sup>pro</sup> protein of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The present in-depth analysis of synthesized compounds will put them under the spot light for practical applications as antioxidants and the modification in structural motif may open the way for COVID-19 drug.</p>","PeriodicalId":49344,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung Section C-A Journal of Biosciences","volume":"76 11-12","pages":"467-480"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/znc-2021-0042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38909864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
