Phytochemicals from Eclipta alba L. plant extract are traditionally used to cure Diarrhea. It is caused by Campylobacter. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDocker energy and -CDocker interaction energy” suggested that 6, 10, 14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone can effectively deactivate the Argininedecarboxylase enzyme (protein database code 3N29) thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism.
Phytochemicals otherwise known as secondary metabolites means the small organic molecules that are not essential for growth, development and reproduction but can protect from various diseases. Infact these phytochemicals are the key source of medicine. Secondary metabolites from Eclipta alba plant extract are traditionally used to cure Jaundice which is caused by Leptospira interrogans. The curative property of Eclipta alba against Leptospira interrogans was proved by molecular docking method in “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” recommended that pentadecan, heptadecane, 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-petadecanone can successfully deactivate the thioredoxin-disulfide reductase enzyme thereby disrupting the cellular function as well as the lifecycle of causative organism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
