Ellagic Acid Vrs Covid -19 : Functional Food to Drug Discovery

Abstract

Functional Foods (FF) are historical & cultural. Technologically the shortest, safest & most economic starting material for drug discovery. In-Silico studies are computational; multi-disciplinary versatile computational platforms to pre-view anti-body vrs anti-gen interactions and intra-compound compatibility, etc.; validates FFs.Ellagic acid (EA) comprises FF as in PunicaGranatum (peel-pulp-&-juice).  Computation is used to evaluate EA as a possible RBD docking candidate of relevance vis-à-vis COV-2 spp.  Indicates excellent docking.Good docking means antagonistic.  EA is compared with anti-cancer Simeprevir (which is re-purposed use in Covid having docking affinity of – 8.52 Kcal/Mol).  EA is observed to make very close call (-6.17 Kcal/Mol) with better indicators in all other parameters. Punica  Granatum contains (posits) Attractive.Original, Ground breaking.Opportunity full.
