Prelabour rupture of the membranes (PLROM) is defined as rupture of membranes before the onset of labour. It is one of the most common clinical events, where pregnancy can turn into a high-risk situation for mother and foetus. As prevention of PLROM is difficult, one has to concentrate on management to reduce its complications.

In the present study, we explored specific novel inhibitors against E6 oncoprotein of high-risk HPV 16, known to inactivate tumor suppressor p53 protein. A homology model of HPV 16 E6 was built and validated using bioinformatics approach.

The life-threatening infection caused by HPV demands the need for designing anticancerous drugs. In the recent years, different compounds from natural origins, such as carrageenan, curcumin, epigallocatechin gallate, indole-3-carbinol, jaceosidin, and withaferin, have been used as a hopeful source of anticancer therapy.

The molecular understanding of HPV proteins has significant connotation for understanding their intrusion in the host and designing novel protein vaccines and anti-viral agents, etc. Genomic, proteomic, structural, and disease-related information on HPV is available on the web; yet, with trivial annotations and more so, it is not well customized for data analysis, host-pathogen interaction, strain-disease association, drug designing, and sequence analysis, etc.
