    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 complex between 6LU7 proteases and Cynaropicrin compound being the best complex, as the same result, is achieved by molecular dynamics. Also, the toxicity testing result from ADMET method proved that the complex is the least toxic and the safest possible drug. In addition, 6LU7-Cynaropicrin complex obeyed Lipinski rule; it formed ≤5 H-bond donors and ≤10 H bond acceptors, MW < 500 Daltons, and octanol/water partition coefficient <5.

    Abstract The etiological agent of some anogenital tract cancers is infection with the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Currently, prophylactic vaccines against HPV have been validated, but the presence of drug treatment directed against the infection and its oncogenic effects remain essential. Among the best drug targets, viral oncoprotein E6 has been identified as a key factor in cell immortalization and tumor progression in HPV-positive cells. E6, through interaction with the cellular ubiquitin ligase E6AP, can promote the degradation of p53, a tumor suppressor protein. Therefore, suppression of the creation of the E6-E6AP complex is one of the essential strategies to inhibit the survival and proliferation of infected cells. In the present study, we proposed an in-silico approach for the discovery of small molecules with inhibitory activity on the E6-E6AP interaction. The first three compounds (F0679-0355, F33774-0275, and F3345-0326) were selected on the basis of virtual screening and prediction of the molecules' ADMET properties and docking with E6 protein, these molecules were selected for further study by investigating their stability in the E6 complex and their inhibitory effect on the E6-E6AP interaction by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The identified molecules thus represent a good starting point for the development of anti-HPV drugs.

    Abstract The disease caused by the coronavirus is called COVID-19. The degree of infection varies from one person to another. According to the data collected to date, people with asthma and obesity are over-represented among adults hospitalized for COVID-19. The reason is very simple: COVID-19 is a disease that particularly attacks the respiratory system, including the lungs. This pandemic has led us to return to plants. Modern medicine has found its success thanks to traditional medicine, the effectiveness of which comes from medicinal plants. Currently, in China, many people believe in the miraculous power of plants, boosting their immunity to protect against asthma. Therefore, this work aimed to study components of natural origin that have an anti-asthma effect that can be considered as the panacea against Covid-19, by using the most important method, which is molecular docking. In this research, we performed a molecular docking study on molecules naturally occurring molecules based on the recently crystallized SARS CoV-2 protein (pdb code 7C6S). ADMET prediction was performed for the selected inhibitors. The results of molecular docking and ADMET prediction support the potential of the five selected molecules to be further developed as novel inhibitors for the treatment of SARS CoV-2.

    Abstract Fluconazole and Voriconazole are individual antifungal inhibitors broadly adopted for treating fungal infections, including Candida Albicans. Unfortunately, these medicines clinically used have significant side effects. Consequently, the improvement of safer and better therapy became more indispensable. In this study, a set of 27 1,2,4-triazole compounds have been tested as potential Candida Albicans inhibitors by using different theoretical methods. The created comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) contour maps significantly impacted the development of novel Candida Albicans inhibitors with valuable activities. The mode of interactions between the 1,2,4-triazole inhibitors and the targeted receptor was studied by molecular docking simulation. The proposed new molecule P1 showed satisfied stability in the active pocket of the targeted receptor compared to the more active molecule in the dataset compared to Fluconazole medication. Meanwhile, the binding energy obtained by molecular docking for molecule P1 is - 9.3 kcal/mol compared with - 6.7 kcal/mol for Fluconazole medication. Also, MM/GBSA value obtained by molecular dynamics simulations at 100 ns for molecule P1 is - 33.34 kcal/mol compared with - 15.85 kcal/mol for Fluconazole medication. In addition, molecule P1 showed good oral bioavailability and was non-toxic according to ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) properties. Therefore, the results indicated compound P1 might be a future inhibitor of Candida Albicans infection.
