: Background: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is one of the serious health issues affecting one-third of the world’s population. The high variations of the HCV genome are ascribed to quick replication by NS5B Polymerase and are thus the most attractive target for developing anti-HCV agents. Objective: The current study aimed to discover novel phytochemicals that harbor the potential of NS5B polymerase inhibition. Method: In this computational study, a molecular docking approach was used to screen phytochemicals with the best binding and spatial affinity with NS5B at the Palm I region. The top-ranked compounds were then subjected to in-silico pharmacokinetic and toxicological study. Results and Conclusion: The virtual screening provided seven ‘hit compounds’ including Betanin, 3,5'- dihydroxythalifaboramine, Diarctigenin, 6'-desmethylthalifaboramine, Cephalotaxine, 5alpha-O-(3'-dimethylamino-3'- phenylpropionyl) taxinine M and IsoTetrandrine with minimum binding score compared to the reference drug, Sofosbuvir (−14.7 kcal/mol). The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) and thorough toxicological analysis revealed a favorable and the safety profile of these compounds. The study would demonstrate the phytochemicals identified might serve as potential antiviral compounds that can potentially an alternative approach for amelioration of HCV

The physico-chemical properties of chiral propeller-shaped PAHs (propellerenes) are strongly dependent on their conformational behavior. A sound, physical model to understand why propellerenes exhibit a conformation preference for either a C2 or D3 conformation that moves beyond a phenomenological explanation is needed. We have therefore performed a computational study to rationalize the conformational preference of propellerenes. Using an activation strain analysis approach, we find that the conformational preference of propellerenes is ultimately determined by the flexibility of the wings. When wings are relatively flexible, as is the case for ortho-substituted propellerenes, a favorable contraction of the radial bonds connecting the core and the propellerene wings is possible, and the more distorted C2 conformation will be preferred. The more rigid wings of benzenoid propellerenes, on the other hand, cannot deform sufficiently, and will therefore always adopt a D3 conformation. Our approach represents a unique method to pinpoint the conformational preferences of propellerenes, and, in principle, any sterically congested molecule.
