Vitamin derivatives as potential drugs for Influenza Hemagglutinin.

The objective of the study was to identify potential inhibitors of Influenza surface Hemagglutinin (HA), which plays key role in the entry and replication of Influenza virus into the host cell. As ligands, seven vitamins and their derivatives were selected after initial screening based on their metabolizable capacity with no reported side effects, for studies. Docking, and Post docking analysis (X Score and Ligplot+) were performed against nine Influenza HA targets for the vitamins and its derivatives.
