Besides the uses of various FDA-approved antiviral compounds as mentioned above, there are many in-silico studies have been performed to screen the novel phytochemical molecules as a potential inhibitors of main protease of SARS-CoV-2 or develop new drugs against COVID-19 (Adem et al., 2020; Chandel et al., 2020; Gentile et al., 2020; Gonzalez-Paz et al., 2020; Khaerunnisa et al., 2020; Khan et al., 2020; Qamar et al., 2020; Sharma & Kaur, 2020; Sun et al., 2020) . In the present study, we have targeted the protease of SARS-CoV-2 virus using available molecular modelling based methods and studied the interactions with selected natural compounds (ursolic acid, carvacrol and oleanolic acid) by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations followed by molecular mechanic/generalized Born/Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM/G/P/BSA) validation. ./cache/cord-287091-a3nieh5p.txt ./txt/cord-287091-a3nieh5p.txt
