Marine Pyrrole Imidazole Alkaloids as Anti-Cathepsins Agents for SARS-CoV-2 Entry Inhibition: Insights from in silico Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulations
An integrated computer-aided drug discovery approach for a selection of 14 pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids targeting Cathepsins L and B confirmed the structural stability of both the Cathepsin L-Mauritiamine and Cathepsin B-Mauritiamine complexes and underscore the potential of Mauritiamine as a promising candidate for antiviral therapy against SARS-CoV-2.
