الوصف: This paper explores a dual inhibition of main protease (Mpro) and nonstructural protein 10/nonstructural protein 16 (NSP16) methyltransferase complex as the key targets for COVID-19 therapy. These are based on the new Schiff-base ligand that was obtained from the condensation of (4-chloro-3-methyl phenyl) hydrazine with 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde and its novel Schiff-base metal complexes. These include Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), Zn(II), and Hg(II). The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The results suggested that the Schiff-base ligand is coordinated as a bidentate ligand through the nitrogen atoms of the azomethine group and pyridyl ring. In addition, the biological activity of the prepared complexes was examined against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, and the results showed that the Zn(II) complex has the highest activity compared with other compounds. The active sites were found by looking at the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps of the above ligands and complexes. The activity of the compound and its Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes against Mpro and NSP10/ NSP16 was investigated using a molecular docking approach. They showed excellent binding energies ranging from −5.9 to −7.2 kcal/mol and −5.8 to −7.2 for Mpro and NSP16, respectively. All conformers of the metal complexes were docked with the active site of the NSP16 receptor, showing a binding affinity of 100%. According to our knowledge, this was the first report of these metal complexes as dual inhibitors for Mpro and NSP16 of SARS-CoV-2.
