Abstract: Ivermectin as a promising RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor and a therapeutic drug against SARS-CoV2: Evidence from in silico studies Ananta Swargiary (  ananbuzoo101@gmail.com ) Department of Zoology, Bodoland University https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9594-3666 Research Article Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV2, ivermectin, RdRp, Docking DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-73308/v1 License:   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Currently, there are no clinically approved drugs for SARS-CoV2 although some drugs are undergoing clinical trials. The present study investigates the binding property of ivermectin on four important drug targets, spike protein, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, 3-chymotrypsin- and papainlike proteases of SARS-CoV2. Methods: The 3D structure of ivermectin along with known antiviral drug lopinavir, simeprevir and four nucleotides ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP were proteins were tools. After proper processing and grid formation, docking was carried out in AutoDock vina. Furthermore, the co-crystallized RNA and its binding interactions with RdRp were studied using various visualization tools including Discovery studio. Results: Docking study showed that ivermectin is the best binding drug compared to lopinavir and simeprevir. The best binding interaction was found to be -9.7kcal/mol with RdRp suggesting potential inhibitor of the protein. Twenty-one amino acid residues of RdRp were found to interact with ivermectin including the catalytic residue Asp760. Furthermore, RNA-RdRp complex revealed that the catalytic active residues Ser759 and Asp760 of RdRp formed strong interactions with RNA chain. Binding of ivermectin in the active site of RdRp make clash with the nucleotides of RNA chain suggesting the possible inhibition of replication. Conclusions: The present study suggests ivermectin as a potential inhibitor of RdRp which may be crucial to combat the SARS-CoV2.
