SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 disease in humans, creating the recent pandemic across the world, where lower production of Type I Interferon (IFN-I) is associated with the deadly form of the disease. Membrane protein or SARS-CoV-2 M proteins are known to be the major reason behind the lower production of human IFN-I by suppressing the expression of IFNβ and Interferon Stimulated Genes. In this study, 7,832 compounds from 32 medicinal plants of India possessing traditional knowledge linkage with pneumonia-like disease treatment, were screened against the Homology-Modelled structure of SARS-CoV-2 M protein with the objective of identifying some active phytochemicals as inhibitors. The entire study was carried out using different modules of Schrodinger Suite 2020-3. During the docking of the phytochemicals against the SARS-CoV-2 M protein, a compound, ZIN1722 from |
