Abstract
Four novel ionic liquid tagged azo-azomethine derivatives (L1-L4) have been prepared by the condensation reaction of azo-coupled ortho-vaniline precursor with amino functionalised imidazole derivative and the synthesized derivatives (L1-L4) have been characterized by different analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Molecular docking studies were carried out to ascertain the inhibitory action of studied ligands (L1-L4) against the Main Protease (6LU7) of novel coronavisrus (COVID-19). The result of the docking of L1-L4 showed a significant inhibitory action against the Main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 and the binding energy (ΔG) values of the ligands (L1-L4) against the protein 6LU7 have found to be −7.7 Kcal/mole (L1), −7.0 Kcal/mole (L2), −7.9 Kcal/mole (L3), and −7.9 Kcal/mole (L4).The efficiency of the ligands has been compared with the FDA approved and clinically trial drugs such as remdesivir, Chloroquin and Hydroxychloroquin and native ligand N3 of main protease 6LU7 to ascertain the inhibitory potential of the studied ligands (L1-L4) against the protein 6LU7. Pharmacokinetic properties (ADME) of the ligands (L1-L4) have also been studied.
