Cheminformatics and Pharmacological Network Analysis for the Prediction of Molecular Mechanism of Herbal Drug Ligands

The global demand for safer and more therapeutically effective medications is surging, providing medicinal plants a boost as suppliers of lead particles. The focus of current research is on an in silico comparison of one major bioactive principle and curatively designed new small drug-like molecule (scaffold analog). The recent study confirmed that the plant belongs to the Cyperaceae family and that it is Cyperus rotundus L. in taxonomy. The study's purpose was to uncover the mechanism of action of ligands/ scaffold analog by revealing genomic relationships, cellular signaling, and the top ten diseases/ illnesses that they were linked to. The scaffold analog showed promising drug-like potential as compared with cyperene. These investigations could broaden the reach of herbal medications, provide new formulations for current diseases or disorders, and pave the door for drug repurposing.
