Prediction of anti-viral activity of Ipomoea carnea

Abstract

There arenumerous species of viruseswhich affects human health and causes fatalities. Some major disease causing viruses are Hepatitis B, Picornavirus, Rhinovirus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Herpes virus, Adenovirus, Influenza virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Poxvirus, Hepatitis C etc.Ipomoea carnea can be an alternative for treatment against these viral infections.

Through in-silicoprediction study, this article is aimed for prediction of anti-viral potential of active chemical constituents of Ipomoea carneausing PASS online prediction tool. From the prediction it has been concluded that Swainsonine, Squalene, 2-Ethyl-1,3-dimethylbenzene, Hexadecanoic Acid, Linoleic Acid, 1-Octadecanol, Stearic Acid, 1,2-Diethylphthalate, Octacosane, Hexatriacontane and Tetracontane shows profoundanti-viral potential.
