Ayurvedic medicines are the traditional medicinal system of India and they are usually composed of mixture of herbal drugs or the extracts of the active principles of various plants having therapeutic activities. Based on the available literature the following plants Tinospora cardifolia (Guduchi), Piper longum (Pippali), Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice) and Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) are used as a preventive measure against various diseases, which acts by boosting the immunity against the severity of infection caused by novel coronavirus (COVID-19). In the present study the selected active constituents from above mentioned plants were used to carry out in-silico studies against covid19. MolSoft and Admet SAR2.0 were used to predict the drug likeness score and pharmacokinetic profile of phytoconstituents and protein-ligand interaction of selected phytocompounds were predicted from AutoDock Vina by PyRx 0.8 and visualization is done by BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2021. Present study concluded that, amongst all the selected phytocompounds, Withanolide D has shown good binding affinity of -8.9kcal/mol with COVID-19 main protease 3CLpro and also Withanolide D has shown good binding affinity of -9.1kcal/mol with SARS-CoV main peptidase 2GTB. The study provides the scientific evidence of this Ayurvedic formulation to combat COVID-19.
