The novel coronavirus disease has spread rapidly and caused sustained pressure on economic and medical resources to many countries. Vaccines and effective drugs are needed to fight against the epidemic. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) plays an important and effective role in the treatment of COVID-19. Therefore, the active components of TCM are potential structural basis for the discovery of antiviral drugs. Through screening by molecular docking, Oleanolic acid, Tryptanthrin, Chrysophanol and Rhein were found to have better spike protein and ACE2 inhibitory activity, which could block the invasion and recognition of SARS-CoV-2 at the same time, should be investigated as antiviral candidates.
新型冠状病毒病迅速传播,给许多国家的经济和医疗资源带来持续压力。需要疫苗和有效的药物来对抗这一流行病。中医药在治疗 COVID-19 方面发挥着重要而有效的作用。因此,中药的活性成分是发现抗病毒药物的潜在结构基础。通过分子对接筛选,发现齐墩果酸、木犀草素、大黄素和大黄酸对刺突蛋白和 ACE2 具有更好的抑制活性,同时可以阻断 SARS-CoV-2 的入侵和识别,应作为抗病毒候选药物进行研究。
