In Silico Identification of Emblica officinalis Compounds Inhibiting Thermolabile Hemolysin from Vibrio alginolyticus in Shrimp.

Background: Thermolabile hemolysin (TLH) is a key virulent protein of Vibrio alginolyticus, known for its hemolytic and phospholipase activities, leading to shrimp vibriosis disease. It has been suggested as a potential therapeutic candidate for vibriosis therapy.

Methods: Computational studies, including molecular docking, toxicity analysis, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, were conducted to investigate the inhibition of the phospholipase activity of TLH by phytochemicals from Emblica officinalis.
