    Abstract : Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, has started in Wuhan China in December 2019 and becomes a global pandemic. According to WHO, more than fourteen million cases are reported and thousands of casualties worldwide (until July 18, 2020) . Most of the COVID-19 patients have symptoms such as fever, feeling tired, dry cough. Some people may also experience aches and pains, nasal congestion, a runny nose, and diarrhea. So far doctors have been using treatment to relieve symptoms and give patients' immune systems time to regain control of this virus. Many studies have highlighted the important role of cytokine cascades in the death rate in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, inhibition of this phenomenon has become a very important target in the clinical management of this disease. With this idea, in this minireview, we will focus on the potential role of cannabinoids in the suppression of cytokines cascades in patients with COVID-19 and their importance in the clinical management of this disease.

    Abstract The identification of chemotherapeutic drugs against Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a significant requirement due to the rapid rise in deaths due to Corona Viral Infection all around the world. Therefore, it is of interest to document the molecular docking analysis data of 32 N-substituted Oseltamivir derivatives inhibitors of influenza virus H5N1 with the Novel Coronavirus main protease (2019-nCoV). We describe the optimal binding features of Oseltamivir derivatives with the SARS-Cov-2 main protease (Code PDB: 6LU7) for further consideration.

    Abstract Liver cancer has become the third type of cancer that causes death; this is why the design of new chemotherapeutic drugs against this disease is a major need. With this idea, a series of Dehydroabietic Acid-Based Acylhydrazones have been used to generate a CoMFA model to design new anticancer agents. In this study, we employed a Comparative Molecular Field Analysis studies, we performed those methods on Dehydroabietic Acid-Based Acylhydrazones against HepG2 human cancer cell line. The statistical results are encouraging with Q2 equal to 0.527 and R2 equal to 0.962. The predictive ability of this model was determined using a test set of Dehydroabietic Acid-Based Acylhydrazones that gave an acceptable predictive correlation (R2test) value of 0.614. The developed model guides to design five new molecules with enhanced activity as potential drugs. On the other hand to determine a potential target to these ligands we have established a virtual screening using reverse docking with the most active molecule and 42 antiproliferative targets. Based on the affinity of complex ligand-Target, the intracellular domain of EGFR shows high stability. This suggests that our designed molecules can inhibit the target EGFR which is an important target on targeted therapy of many types of cancer.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract The objective of this work was the molecular modelling by bio-isostery of 2-chloroethylnitrosoureas CENU into 2-chloroethylnitrososulfamides CENS derived from Carmustine. We evaluated the pharmacodynamic profile of the new chemical class by studying molecular docking using innovative software. Good molecular docking scores were obtained through Auto-dock vina of the PyRx 0.8 software, the energy of the complexes formed (Target-Ligand) during the interaction varies from - 5,400 to -5,700 Kcal/mol, the total average between the 45 conformers is -5,213 Kcal/mol. The results were validated by Auto-dock vina 1.5.6 in collaboration with the Molecular Chemistry and Natural Substances Laboratory at the Meknes Faculty of Science - Morocco, a range of -4,900 to -5,100 Kcal/mol was noted for CENS complexes derived from Carmustine with the 2DND target, reflecting a better CENS chemical affinity to the biological target and the stability of the ligand-DNA complex, compared with the analogue reference Carmustine with a score of - 4,700 Kcal/mol. By superimposing the results of molecular docking, analysis of data from the study of electrophilia based on load transfer ECT and publications on CENS, we can predict that inter-strand crosslink is likely to occur between the Guanine dG22 of strand B and the Cytosine dC3 of strand A, located in the poly dA-poly dT segment end within the narrow minor groove of the DNA target (2DND). The molecular docking study was a preliminary approach to understand the therapeutic mode of action of CENS.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract COVID-19 is a new infectious disease caused by SARS-COV-2 virus of the coronavirus Family. The identification of drugs against this serious infection is a significant requirement due to the rapid rise in the positive cases and deaths around the world. With this concept, a molecular docking analysis for vitamins and their derivatives (28 molecules) with the active site of SARS-CoV-2 main protease was carried out. The results of molecular docking indicate that the structures with best binding energy in the binding site of the studied enzyme (lowest energy level) are observed for the compounds; Folacin, Riboflavin, and Phylloquinone oxide (Vitamin K1 oxide). A Molecular Dynamic simulation was carried out to study the binding stability for the selected vitamins with the active site of SARS-CoV-2 main protease enzyme. Molecular Dynamic shows that Phylloquinone oxide and Folacin are quite unstable in binding to SARS-CoV-2 main protease, while the Riboflavin is comparatively rigid. The higher fluctuations in Phylloquinone oxide and Folacin indicate that they may not fit very well into the binding site. As expected, the Phylloquinone oxide exhibits small number of H-bonds with protein and Folacin does not form a good interaction with protein. Riboflavin exhibits the highest number of Hydrogen bonds and forms consistent interactions with protein. Additionally, this molecule respect the conditions mentioned in Lipinski's rule and have acceptable ADMET proprieties which indicates that Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) could be interesting for the antiviral treatment of COVID-19.

    Abstract Because of the fast increase in deaths due to Corona Viral Infection in majority region in the world, the detection of drugs potent of this infection is a major need. With this idea, docking study was executed on eighteen imidazole derivatives based on 7-chloro-4-aminoquinoline against novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).In this study, we carried out a docking study of these molecules in the active site of SARS-CoV-2 main protease. The result indicate that Molecules N° 3, 7 and 14 have more binding energy with SARS-CoV-2 main protease recently crystallized (pdb code 6LU7) in comparison with the other imidazole derivatives and the two drug; Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Because of the best energy of interaction, these three molecules could have the most potential antiviral treatment of COVID-19 than the other studied compounds. The structures with best affinity in the binding site of the protease have more than 3 cycles and electronegative atoms in the structure. This may increase the binding affinity of these molecules because of formation of π-bonds, halogen interactions and/or Hydrogen bond interactions between compounds and the enzyme. So, compounds with more cycles and electronegative atoms could have a potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 main protease.

    Abstract In this study, we have selected a series of a new family of molecules bearing Triazolo-benzodiazepines, an eleven membered heterocyclic ring has been studied for antidepression activity. Docking studies suggested that all the eleven ligands interacted well within active site of Drosophila melanogaster dopamine transporter (dDAT) (PDB ID: 4M48). Most ligands formed H-bond with amino acid Phe43, Asp46, Asp475, Tyr123, Ser421 and/or Gln316 and also exhibited Pi and Pi-Pi interactions with amino acid residues Tyr124, Phe319, Phe43, Phe325, Ala479 and Val120. In silico ADME evaluations of compounds showed more than 96% intestinal absorption for all compounds. During in vitro Toxicity properties prediction, the Triazolo-benzodiazepines derivatives: M

    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.
