The pressing need to find effective drugs against the current deadly COVID-19 disease has recently motivated numerous studies using different approaches address problem. One time-saving and less costly strategy is drug repurposing, which consists in finding new therapeutic uses for approved drugs. Following same trend, this study investigated potential inhibitory activity of 5-FU its analogues SARS-CoV-2 main protease as well their profile druggability molecular docking ADMET methods. From calculations performed, four candidates showed promising results with respect binding affinity target protease, 3CLpro, safety. Further in-vitro in-vivo investigations are needed that may clarify possible mechanism pharmacological action combat COVID-19.

The pandemic of COVID-19 is a severe threat to human life and the global economy. Despite success vaccination efforts in reducing spread virus, situation remains largely uncontrolled due random mutation RNA sequence acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which demands different variants effective drugs. Disease-causing gene-mediated proteins are usually used as receptors explore drug molecules. In this study, we analyzed two RNA-Seq one microarray gene expression profile datasets by integrating EdgeR, LIMMA, weighted co-expression network robust rank aggregation approaches, revealed SARS-CoV-2 infection causing eight hub-genes (HubGs) including HubGs; REL, AURKA, AURKB, FBXL3, OAS1, STAT4, MMP2 IL6 host genomic biomarkers. Gene Ontology pathway enrichment analyses HubGs significantly enriched some crucial biological processes, molecular functions, cellular components signaling pathways that associated with mechanisms infections. Regulatory analysis identified top-ranked 5 TFs (SRF, PBX1, MEIS1, ESR1 MYC) miRNAs (hsa-miR-106b-5p, hsa-miR-20b-5p, hsa-miR-93-5p, hsa-miR-106a-5p hsa-miR-20a-5p) key transcriptional post-transcriptional regulators HubGs. Then, conducted docking determine potential candidates could interact HubGs-mediated receptors. This resulted identification ten agents, Nilotinib, Tegobuvir, Digoxin, Proscillaridin, Olysio, Simeprevir, Hesperidin, Oleanolic Acid, Naltrindole Danoprevir. Finally, investigated binding stability three molecules Tegobuvir Proscillaridin proposed (AURKA, OAS1) using 100 ns MD-based MM-PBSA simulations observed their stable performance.
