Employing bioactive compounds derived from (L.) to evaluate potential inhibitor for SARS-CoV-2 main protease and ACE2 protein.

Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and main protease (M) are significant target proteins, mainly involved in the attachment of viral genome to host cells and aid in replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronaviruses or SARS-CoV genome. In the present study, we identified 11 potent bioactive compounds from ethanolic leaf extract of (L.) by using GC-MS analysis.
