Molecular Docking Studies of Plants Derivatives Isolated from Plant Sources Target for Chikungunya Virus
نویسندگان
چکیده
S Chikungunya virus causes fever in humans and produces severe joint pain. So far no drug has been specifically developed to treat chikungunya virus. Some medicinal practioners prescribe a herbal drug prepared from Eupatorium prostratum. Eupatorin 200 is the main phytochemical in this plant. Using this ligands we carried out docking with target structural polyprotein. The results showed that eupatorin docked strongly with the target indicating that the use of this plant to treat chikungunya has some scientific basis.
