Pterygospermin, Quercetin, Rutin, and β-amyrin which has an antiviral potential compounds against COVID 19 by inhibiting M pro and RdRp activity. [15][16][17][18] Besides all the compounds above, Oleic acid was most found at around 84% in M. Oleifera. 19 M. oleifera was the most appropriate candidate for an antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2. The aim of this study was to screen bioactive compounds of Moringa oleifera and to identify the antiviral potential compounds toward SARS-CoV-2 through an entry inhibitor mechanism. METHODS Data mining of sampleThe bioactive compounds of M. oleifera which consist of anthraquinone, apigenin, aurantiamide acetate, benzyl isothiocyanate, chlorogenic acid, chrysin, dibutyl phthalate, ellagic acid, hesperidin, isorhoifolin, myricetin, pterygospermin, quercetin, rutin, and vitex. The bioactive compounds of M. oleifera were retrieved format from PubChem database (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) in sdf format. 20 Protein modelingThe structure of M pro and RdRp as the target proteins which were not available in the RCSB PDB database was modeled based on their amino acid sequence. The NCBI (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) database was used to retrieve sequences of amino acids with fasta format. Furthermore, protein modeling is made through the SWISSMODEL site (https://swissmodel. expasy.org/). The selection of protein models was selected from several parameters such as QMQE value, QMEAN value, coverage value, local quality value, and comparison plot. In addition, the protein
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
