Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Studies of Role of Anti-Allergic Medicines as Inhibitors Against Covid-19

The 2019-nCoV virus is a human-infectious coronavirus (CoV). Very few treatment options are available to healthcare professionals who are fighting this outbreak at the front. The main warning symptoms of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, are fever, fatigue, and a dry cough, sometimes it also causes cold-like symptoms like a runny nose which are sometimes similar to symptoms of allergies and sometimes difficult to differentiate between COVID-19 and allergies. The anti-allergic drug molecules can behave as good inhibitor against COVID-19. Molecular docking studies have been performed to examine the inhibitor properties of anti-allergic molecules against Covid-19. The searching of better inhibitors have been examined interns of various non-covalent interactions like hydrogen bond, halogen bond, vander waal’s interactions, alkyl-πand π-π interactions between small molecules (Anti-allergic medicines) with main protease of Covid-19 using molecular docking and Molecular Dynamics simulation which reveals that astemizole is best inhibitor among ten Anti-allergic drug molecules.
