Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome caused by a coronavirus is a recent viral infection. There is no scientific evidence or clinical trials to indicate that possible therapies have demonstrated results in suspected or confirmed patients. This work aims to perform a virtual screening of 1430 ligands through molecular docking and to evaluate the possible inhibitory capacity of these drugs about the M protease of Covid-19.

This study aimed to identify natural bioactive compounds (NBCs) as potential inhibitors of the spike (S1) receptor binding domain (RBD) of the COVID-19 Omicron variant using computer simulations (. NBCs with previously proven biological activity were obtained from the ZINC database and analyzed through virtual screening, molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD), molecular mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/PBSA), and molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA). Remdesivir was used as a reference drug in docking and MD calculations.

Transmitted by mosquitoes of the species and , they have not been completely eradicated in the country, and their proliferation has only increased in the Northeast region. Within the structure of the virus, it is possible to verify the presence of glycoprotein SN1, which is responsible for its replication.
