Abstract
COVID-19 has been the reason for the pandemic, which is induced by the SARS-CoV-2. Potential drugs are being used for its cure, but there's no specific drug for it. To get a specific drug, many drug designing strategies are being used in which molecular docking plays a vital role in computer-assisted drug designing. In this research, we've tested the molecular docking of Lopinavir (LV) on the Receptor Binding Spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2. We’ve generated the ADMET properties consistent with predicted ADMET parameters supported Lipinski’s rule with the aid of the Datawarrior software version 5.2.1.
