COVID-19, a member of corona virus family is spreading its tentacles acrossthe world due to lack of drugs at present. However, the main viral proteinase(Mpro/3CLpro) has recently been regarded as a suitable target for drug designagainst SARS infection due to its vital role in polyproteins processingnecessary for coronavirus reproduction. The present in silico study wasdesigned to evaluate the effect of Jensenone, a essential oil component fromeucalyptus oil, on Mpro by docking study. In the present study, moleculardocking studies were conducted by using 1-click dock and swiss dock tools.Protein interaction mode was calculated by Protein Interactions Calculator.Thecalculated parameters such as binding energy, and binding site similarityindicated effective binding of Jensenone to COVID-19 proteinase. Active siteprediction further validated the role of active site residues in ligandbinding. PIC results indicated that, Mpro/ Jensenone complexes formshydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bond interactions and strong ionicinteractions. Therefore, Jensenone may represent potential treatment potentialto act as COVID-19 Mpro inhibitor. However, further research is necessary toinvestigate their potential medicinal use.
