Potential of Marine Terpenoids against SARS-CoV-2: An <i>In Silico</i> Drug Development Approach
In an emergency, drug repurposing is the best alternative option against newly emerged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, several bioactive natural products have shown potential against SARS-CoV-2 in recent studies. The present study selected sixty-eight...

In an emergency, drug repurposing is the best alternative option against newly emerged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, several bioactive natural products have shown potential against SARS-CoV-2 in recent studies. The present study selected sixty-eight broad-spectrum antiviral marine terpenoids and performed molecular docking against two novel SARS-CoV-2 enzymes (main protease or M<sup>pro</sup> or 3CL<sup>pro</sup>) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). In addition, the present study analysed the physiochemical-toxicity-pharmacokinetic profile, structural activity relationship, and phylogenetic tree with various computational tools to select the ‘lead’ candidate. The genomic diversity study with multiple sequence analyses and phylogenetic tree confirmed that the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 strain was up to 96% structurally similar to existing CoV-strains. Furthermore, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 potency based on a protein−ligand docking score (kcal/mol) exposed that the marine terpenoid brevione F (−8.4) and stachyflin (−8.4) exhibited similar activity with the reference antiviral drugs lopinavir (−8.4) and darunavir (−7.5) against the target SARS−CoV−M<sup>pro</sup>.
