Protocol to identify multiple protein targets and therapeutic compounds using an in silico polypharmacological approach.

Polypharmacology aids in the identification of multiple protein targets involved in disease pathology and selecting appropriate therapeutic compounds interacting with protein targets. Here, we present a protocol to identify the targets involved in obesity-linked diabetes and suitable phytocompounds to bind with the identified target. We describe steps to install and use softwares for identifying several protein targets by linking multiple diseases.

Comparative molecular docking and simulation analysis of molnupiravir and remdesivir with SARS-CoV-2 RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).

Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 targeting its RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is of current interest. Remdesivir has been approved for the treatment of COVID-19 around the world. However, the drug has been linked with pharmacological limitations like adverse effects and reduced efficiency.
