Abstract: A strategy based on GC-MS coupled with molecular docking was established for identification,and prediction of Ebola virus inhibitors in the essential oil from the flowers of Robinia pseudoacacia L.42mg essential oil was obtained from 500 g fresh flowers by hydrodistillation.After GC-MS analysis,fifteen compounds were identified.The results indicated that the major compounds in the essential oil were 2,7,10-Trimethyl-dodecane (14.67%),4,7-Dimethyl-undecane (13.89%), Hexadecane (11.60%).The identified compounds were docked with the target of Ebola Virus using the Autodock software individually.One compound exhibited the potential anti-Ebola virus activity,3,5-Di-tert-butyl-phenol with the binding energy of 4.10 kJ/mol.

Key words: GC-MS, Molecular docking, essential oil, Ebola virus
