Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe acute
Respiratory syndrome virus-2 (SARS CoV-2) temporarily named this pathogen as 2019 novel
coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a single positive strand RNA betacoronavirus (CoV).The coronavirus
polyprotein encodes two proteases, which share in its processing and release of the translated
nonstructural proteins (NSPs), the main protease is called 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL pro)
and a papainlike protease (PL pro).12 Both main protease (3CLpro and PLpro) an attractive drug
target for drug discovery studies due to its essential role in processing the polyprotein that are
translated from the viral RNA. Lack of an effective vaccine and/or antiviral drugs against
SARSCoV-2, the causative agent, has severely hampered the response to this novel coronavirus.
Natural products have long been used in traditional medicines to treat various diseases, and
purified phytochemicals from Indian medicinal plants provide a valuable scaffold for the
discovery of new drug leads. In the present study, we performed a computational screening of a
database composed of 50 potent phytochemicals derived from Indian medicinal plants with
bronchodilator activity. Structure-based virtual screening was carried out against SARS COV-2
main protease. to identify reputed inhibitors that could facilitate the development of potential anti-
COVID-19 drug candidates. Considering the ebselen as a reference, we observed that the
inhibition potentials of carotene, glychrhizinic acid are very effective. The inhibitory efficiency of other phytochemical constituents also possesses specific inhibition properties against Covid-19
main protease. These potential phytochemical will be subjected to further in vitro and in vivo
studies and may assist the development of effective anti-COVID-19 drugs.
