Abstract: (78 Views)
Background & Objective: We performed structure-activity studies upon an extended series of 36 compounds of allicin derivatives by anti-virus biological activities in COVID-19 main protease.
Methods: For this aim, we used the QSAR methods, analysis of correlations and multiple linear regressions, and a significant collection of six molecular descriptors such as constitutional and Molecular topology descriptors.
Findings: In the present descriptive-analytic study, the information on the structure of drugs, the COVID-19 protease enzyme, and the Allicin derivatives was received from the databases such as Protein Data Bank (PDB) and PubChem. Then, molecular docking was done by iGEMDOCK 2.1 software.
Conclusion: The Obtained Multi-Parametric Model, when a different class of molecular descriptors was used, led to a correlation coefficient close to 0.89 which indicated that the model was satisfactory for the prediction of anti-viruses activity of substituted allicin and the same compounds.
