Mosquitoes are the primary vector for West Nile virus, a flavivirus. The virus’s ability to infiltrate and establish itself in increasing numbers of nations has made it persistent threat public health worldwide. Despite widespread occurrence this potentially fatal disease, no effective treatment options currently on market. As result, there is an immediate need research development novel pharmaceuticals. To begin, molecular docking was performed two possible virus target proteins using panel twelve natural chemicals, including Apigenin, Resveratrol, Hesperetin, Fungisterol, Lucidone, Ganoderic acid, Curcumin, Kaempferol, Cholic Chlorogenic Pinocembrin, Sanguinarine. methyltransferase (PDB ID: 2OY0) binding affinities varied from −7.4 −8.3 kcal/mol, whereas envelope glycoprotein ranged −6.2 −8.1 kcal/mol 2I69). Second, substances with larger weights less likely be unhappy Lipinski rule. Hence, additional carried out without regard weight. In addition, compounds 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 11 more soluble water than compound 04 is. Besides, based maximum affinity, best three (Apigenin, Acid) been dynamic simulation (MDs) at 100 ns determine their stability. MDs data also reported that these mentioned molecules highly stable. Finally, advanced principal component analysis (PCA), dynamics cross-correlation matrices (DCCM) analysis, free energy cross correlation matrix theoretical study included established phytochemical as potential drug candidate. Research indicated aforementioned may tool battle against dangerous virus. This aims locate bioactive might used pharmaceutical.

The Ebola virus and its close relative, the Marburg virus, both belong to family Filoviridae are highly hazardous contagious viruses. With a mortality rate ranging from 23% 90%, depending on specific outbreak, development of effective antiviral interventions is crucial for reducing fatalities mitigating impact outbreaks. In this investigation, virtual screening approach was employed evaluate 2042 natural compounds their potential interactions with VP35 protein virus. Average worst binding energies were calculated all 20 poses, that exhibited <−6 kcal/mol in criteria selected further analysis. Based energies, only six (Estradiol benzoate, INVEGA (paliperidone), Isosilybin, Protopanaxadiol, Permethrin, Bufalin) subsequent investigations, focusing interaction Among these compounds, Estradiol Isosilybin showed strong hydrogen bonds, while others did not. study, Myricetin, benzoate subjected molecular dynamics (MD) simulation free energy calculation using MM/GBSA reference component Myricetin served as control. most stable consistent root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) values, whereas significant fluctuations RMSD. compound lowest ΔG (−22.89 kcal/mol), surpassing control compound’s (−9.29 kcal/mol). Overall, investigation suggested possesses favorable indicating inhibitory mechanism against study proposes could serve therapeutic option preventing infection. However, experimental validation required corroborate findings.

During the second phase of SARS-CoV-2, an unknown fungal infection, identified as black fungus, was transmitted to numerous people among hospitalized COVID-19 patients and increased death rate. The fungus is associated with Mycolicibacterium smegmatis, Mucor lusitanicus, Rhizomucor miehei microorganisms. At same time, other pathogenic diseases, such Monkeypox virus Marburg virus, impacted global health. Policymakers are concerned about these pathogens due their severe capabilities rapid spread. However, no standard therapies available manage treat those conditions. Since coptisine has significant antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal properties; therefore, current investigation been designed by modifying identify effective drug molecule against Black Monkeypox, virus. After designing derivatives coptisine, they have optimized get a stable molecular structure. These ligands were then subjected docking study two vital proteins obtained from pathogens: (PDB ID: 4WTP) smegmatis ID 7D6X), found in 4QWO) 4OR8).
