Tamarixetin for COVID-19

The corona virus (COVID-19) is an enveloped RNA virus with diverse origins in both people and wildlife. It has been determined that six separate species are the cause of human disease. Viral infections have a significant impact on human disease, and one of the most recent worldwide epidemics is the emergence of the new corona. The SS-RNA virus from the enveloped corona virus family is what caused the potentially lethal SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus. In many countries throughout the world, sickness is spreading quickly. As of March 26, 2020, there has been 462,684 confirmed cases and 20,834 fatalities documented abroad. COVID-19 was deemed a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Numerous drug studies are now underway, and some of the results are positive. The only way to combat the virus, however, is through preventative measures as there is no vaccination. The goal of the current study was to use a molecular docking approach to evaluate flavonoids's potential against SAR-CoV-2 infection. Elucidation of the proposed mechanism of action of natural flavonoid (Quercetin, Isorhametin, Rutin and Tamaraxiten) against SAR-CoV-2 infection.

In the present study, we investigated the antiviral activities of 17 flavonoids as natural products. These derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro antiviral activities against HIV and SARS-CoV-2. Their antiviral activity was evaluated for the first time based on POM (Petra/Osiris/Molispiration) theory and docking analysis. POM calculation was used to analyze the atomic charge and geometric characteristics. The side effects, drug similarities, and drug scores were also assumed for the stable structure of each compound. These results correlated with the experimental values. The bioinformatics POM analyses of the relative antiviral activities of these derivatives are reported for the first time.
