1 In silico evaluation of flavonoids as effective antiviral agents on the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2. Flavonoids surface glycoprotein Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
2 In the current study, an in silico approach is carried out as a means of inhibiting the spike protein of the novel coronavirus by flavonoids from natural sources that possess both antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Flavonoids surface glycoprotein Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
3 The methodology is focused on molecular docking of 10 flavonoid compounds that are docked with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, to determine the highest binding affinity at the binding site. Flavonoids surface glycoprotein Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
4 The flavonoid naringin showed the least binding energy of -9.8 Kcal/mol with the spike protein which was compared with the standard drug, dexamethasone which is being repurposed to treat critically ill patients. Flavonoids surface glycoprotein Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
