چکیده
همه‌گیری کووید-19 یک بحران بهداشتی جهانی ایجاد کرده است و توسعه درمان‌های موثر برای جلوگیری از شیوع این بیماری و نجات جان میلیون‌ها نفر ضروری است. یکی از پروتئین‌های کلیدی درگیر در چرخه تکثیر SARS-CoV-2، ویروسی که باعث کووید-19 می‌شود، آنزیم پروتئاز اصلی، 3CLpro است. این آنزیم به دلیل اهمیت بالایی که دارد، موضوع تحقیقات مولکولی، ساختاری و بالینی است و تلاش‌هایی برای تولید داروهایی که می‌توانند فعالیت آن را مهار کنند، صورت گرفته است. یکی از این داروها ترکیب شیمیایی N3 است که اثر مهاری بالایی در برابر 3CLpro دارد. هرچند، از دیدگاه طب سنتی، کمتر به این موضوع پرداخته شده است. در این پژوهش، مطالعات شبیه‌سازی میان‌کنش مولکولی داکینگ و شبیه‌سازی دینامیک مولکولی تمام اتم (MD)، برای بررسی قابلیت 21 ترکیب بالقوه گیاهی بر مهار آنزیم 3CLpro صورت گرفت. سه ترکیب با بالاترین احتمال مهارکنندگی از نتایج داکینگ مولکولی انتخاب شدند و تحت ns100 شبیه‌سازی MD قرار گرفتند تا پایداری و ویژگی‌های ساختاری-دینامیکی-انرژی آن‌ها بررسی شود. علاوه بر پایداری کمپلکس‌ها، نتایج حاصل از شبیه‌سازی نشان داد که هر سه ترکیب انتخابی ما ویژگی‌های ساختاری-دینامیکی قابل مقایسه‌ با N3 را به 3CLpro القا می‌کنند و بنابراین، انتظار می‌رود که توانایی مهارکنندگی مشابهی در برابر این آنزیم داشته باشند. ترکیب شماره 5 دارای مطلوب‌ترین انرژی اتصال بود و به عنوان بهترین جایگزین گیاهی برای N3 پیشنهاد شد. نتایج پژوهش ما می‌تواند به‌طور مستقیم برای طراحی مطالعات تجربی با هدف مهار آنزیم 3CLpro مورد استفاده قرار گیرد و در نتیجه، هزینه زمانی-مالی چنین مطالعاتی را کاهش دهد.
