e-Pharmacophore modeling and in silico study of CD147 receptor against SARS-CoV-2 drugs.

Publication date: Jun 01, 2023

Coronavirus has left severe health impacts on the human population, globally. Still a significant number of cases are reported daily as no specific medications are available for its effective treatment. The presence of the CD147 receptor (human basigin) on the host cell facilitates the severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Therefore, the drugs that efficiently alter the formation of CD147 and spike protein complex could be the right drug candidate to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2. Hence, an e-Pharmacophore model was developed based on the receptor-ligand cavity of CD147 protein which was further mapped against pre-existing drugs of coronavirus disease treatment. A total of seven drugs were found to be suited as pharmacophores out of 11 drugs screened which was further docked with CD147 protein using CDOCKER of Biovia discovery studio. The active site sphere of the prepared protein was 101. 44, 87. 84, and 97. 17 along with the radius being 15. 33 and the root-mean-square deviation value obtained was 0. 73 A. The protein minimization energy was calculated to be -30,328. 81547 kcal/mol. The docking results showed ritonavir as the best fit as it demonstrated a higher CDOCKER energy (-57. 30) with correspond to CDOCKER interaction energy (-53. 38). However, authors further suggest in vitro studies to understand the potential activity of the ritonavir.
