Protein–ligand docking is an essential step in modern drug discovery process. The challenge here is to accurately predict and efficiently optimize the position and orientation of ligands in the binding pocket of a target protein. In this paper, we present a new method called PSOVina which combined the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the efficient Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shannon (BFGS) local search method adopted in AutoDock Vina to tackle the conformational search problem in docking. Using a diverse data set of 201 protein–ligand complexes from the PDBbind database and a full set of ligands and decoys for four representative targets from the directory of useful decoys (DUD) virtual screening data set, we assessed the docking performance of PSOVina in comparison to the original Vina program. Our results showed that PSOVina achieves a remarkable execution time reduction of 51–60% without compromising the prediction accuracies in the docking and virtual screening experiments. This improvement in time efficiency makes PSOVina a better choice of a docking tool in large-scale protein–ligand docking applications. Our work lays the foundation for the future development of swarm-based algorithms in molecular docking programs. PSOVina is freely available to non-commercial users at http://cbbio.cis.umac.mo .

Background: The current outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) led to public health emergencies all over the world and made it a global concern. Also, the lack of an effective treatment to combat this virus is another concern that has appeared. Today, increasing knowledge of biological structures like increasing computer power brings about a chance to use computational methods efficiently in different phases of the drug discovery and development for helping solve this new global problem. Methods: In this study, 3D pharmacophores were generated based on thirty-one structures with functional affinity inhibition (antiviral drugs used for SARS and MERS) with IC50<250 µM from the literature data. A 3D-QSAR model has been developed and validated to be utilized in virtual screening. Results: The best pharmacophore models have been utilized as 3D queries for virtual screening to gain promising inhibitors from a data set of thousands of natural compounds retrieved from PubChem. The hit compounds were subsequently used for molecular docking studies to investigate their affinity to the 3D structure of the SARS-CoV-2 receptors. The ADMET properties calculate for the hits with high binding affinity. Conclusion: The study outcomes can help understand the molecular characteristics and mechanisms of the binding of hit compounds to SARS-CoV-2 receptors and promising identification inhibitors that are likely to be evolved into drugs.
