| Popis: | The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic declared the huge need of humanity for new and effective antiviral drugs The reported antimicrobial activities of Artemisia sublessingiana encouraged us to investigate the ethanol extract of its aerial parts which led to the isolation of six flavonoids and a sesquiterpenoid The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by EI-MS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods to be (1) eupatilin, (2) 3′,4′-dimethoxyluteolin, (3) 5,7,3′-trihydroxy-6,4′,5′-trimethoxyflavone, (4) hispidulin, (5) apigenin, (6) velutin, and (7) sesquiterpene lactone 8α,14-dihydroxy-11,13-dihydromelampolide The isolated compounds were in silico examined against the COVID-19 main protease (Mpro) enzyme Compounds 1–6 exhibited promising binding modes showing free energies ranging from −6 39 to −6 81 (kcal/mol) The best binding energy was for compound 2 The obtained results give hope of finding a treatment for the COVID-19 pandemic [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Journal of Chemistry is the property of Hindawi Limited and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use This abstract may be abridged No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy Users should refer to the original published version of the material for the full abstract (Copyright applies to all Abstracts ) |
