Abstract

The outbreak of Coronavirus, as well as its emerging potential consequences, has become a global challenge worldwide, demanding effective and controlled therapeutic strategies. Potential drug candidates could achieve that with minimal toxicity. The current investigation selected 2-Deoxy-D-glucose prescribed by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), India. The derivative and modified form was tested through in silico analysis against COVID-19 main protease complex with N3 inhibitor. The derived form of 2-Deoxy-D-glucose was generated by replacing the hydroxy group with a hydrogen atom, and Cypate 2-Deoxy-D-glucose was chosen as a derivative against the COVID-19 main protease complex. A molecular docking approach was adopted to identify the stable and competent form among the modified and derivative forms of 2-Deoxy-D-glucose based on binding energy. By further promoting the stabilized complex, these compounds' toxicity was also scrutinized through ADMET analysis to predict the potential candidate. The current investigation suggested that the modified version of 2-Deoxy-D-glucose was more stable with minimal toxicity against COVID-19 main protease.
