The COVID-19 pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a massive viral disease outbreak of international concerns. The present study is mainly intended to identify the bioactive phytocompounds from traditional antiviral herb Houttuynia cordata Thunb. as potential inhibitors for three main replication proteins of SARS-CoV-2, namely Main protease (Mpro), Papain-Like protease (PLpro) and ADP ribose phosphatase (ADRP) which control the replication process. A total of 177 phytocompounds were characterized from H. cordata using GC–MS/LC–MS and they were docked against three SARS-CoV-2 proteins (receptors), namely Mpro, PLpro and ADRP using Epic, LigPrep and Glide module of Schrödinger suite 2020-3. During docking studies, phytocompounds (ligand) 6-Hydroxyondansetron (A104) have demonstrated strong binding affinity toward receptors Mpro (PDB ID 6LU7) and PLpro (PDB ID 7JRN) with G-score of???7.274 and???5.672, respectively, while Quercitrin (A166) also showed strong binding affinity toward ADRP (PDB ID 6W02) with G-score -6.788. Molecular Dynamics Simulation (MDS) performed using Desmond module of Schrödinger suite 2020–3 has demonstrated better stability in the ligand–receptor complexes A104-6LU7 and A166-6W02 within 100 ns than the A104-7JRN complex. The ADME-Tox study performed using SwissADMEserver for pharmacokinetics of the selected phytocompounds 6-Hydroxyondansetron (A104) and Quercitrin (A166) demonstrated that 6-Hydroxyondansetron passes all the required drug discovery rules which can potentially inhibit Mpro and PLpro of SARS-CoV-2 without causing toxicity while Quercitrin demonstrated less drug-like properties but also demonstrated as potential inhibitor for ADRP. Present findings confer opportunities for 6-Hydroxyondansetron and Quercitrin to be developed as new therapeutic drug against COVID-19.

The occurrence of charge on recoil56Mn produced by the (n,γ) reaction in polycrystalline potassium permanganate has been examined using the ‘charge plate technique’.
From considerations of capture gamma ray decay schemes and internal conversion it appears that, in a condensed medium, the
recoil atom develops charge after losing much of its initial kinetic energy which allows collection on charged electrodes.
Preliminary findings were presented at the International Symposium on Radiochemistry and Radiation Chemistry, RC-41 BARC,
Bombay, Feb. 4–6 (1991). 相似文献
The present paper deals with the study of a Durrmeyer-type integral modification of certain modified Baskakov operators. Here
we study simultaneous approximation properties for these operators by using the iterative combinations. We obtain an asymptotic
formula and an error estimation in terms of higher order modulus of continuity for these operators.

The forced magnetostriction and magnetization are measured in the easy-plane-type two-sublattice NiCl2 antiferromagnet (AFM) in the case where this AFM passes from the multidomain to a single-domain state. It is shown that, in accordance with the magnetoelastic nature of the multidomain state, the field dependences of the forced magnetostriction and magnetization are interrelated and affected by the transition from the multidomain to the single-domain state. The character of these dependences corresponds to the case where the magnetization and striction are proportional to the number of domains with an energetically favored orientation with respect to the external magnetic field. 相似文献
A cis-proline derived cyclic mimic of a type VI beta-turn is synthesized via a ring-closing metathesis reaction. The solution NMR conformational study indicates that the major conformer of the cyclic peptide adopts a type VIa beta-turn in CDCl(3) and a type VIb beta-turn in DMSO-d(6). 相似文献
A novel chemo- and diastereoselective aerobic epoxidation of the N-cinnamoyl peptides catalyzed by polyaniline-supported cobalt(II) salen (PASCOS) is described. The N-cinnamoyl proline derived peptides 1 show a high pi-facial selectivity during these epoxidations. The origin of this diastereoselectivity in 1 has been attributed to (i) the propensity of the N-cinnamoyl proline amide to exist predominantly as trans rotamer in CDCl3, DMSO-d6, and CH3CN medium and (ii) existence of these peptides as organized structures (gamma- and beta-turns) due to the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. An extensive solution NMR and MD simulation study on 1d and 1f indicates that the origin of the high pi-facial selectivity is due to the well-defined gamma- and beta-turns which result in the hindrance of one face of the cinnamoyl double bond in the transition state of the epoxidation reaction. 相似文献
Fractional precipitation techniques have been utilized to separate the lower valent and parent forms of56Mn in permanganate targets and an attempt is made to study a few aspects of chemical stabilization of recoil56Mn in permanganates. Ammonium permanganate, recoil behaviour of which has not been studied previously, is chosen as one of the targets along with the potassium permanganate for initial retention and also for isothermal annealing.56Mn initial retentions of about 12% and about 4% are obtained for potassium and ammonium permanganate, respectively, by activation from a Ra–Be neutron source. A usual trend for KMnO4 and the reduction of recoil fragments by ammonium ions in NH4MnO4 are seen through the isothermal annealing study. 相似文献

Organoboron derivatives of biologically potent β‐enamino esters of the type [Where R = CH3(1a), C2H5 (1b), C3H7(1c) and C (CH3)3 (1d)] have been prepared by the reactions of β‐enamino esters and Phenyl boronic acid [PhB (OH)2] in 1:2 molar ratio in refluxing tetrahydrofuran (THF). All these derivatives have been characterized by physico‐chemical properties, elemental analyses and molecular weight measurements. The structures of these compounds have been proposed on the basis of IR, 1H, 13C, 11B NMR spectral data and GC‐mass spectrometry. Phenyl boronic acid, β‐enamino esters and their respective phenylboronates derivatives have been screened for the antibmicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria (B. subtilis and E. coli) and fungi (A. niger and P. peniculosum) to access their growth inhibiting potential. In addition to this, antiandrogenic effect of Ligand, LaH2 and its boron derivative (1a) has also been tested in male albino rats. 相似文献
