Article Synopsis
  • The monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a zoonotic virus, and the research explores the potential antiviral properties of fucoxanthin, a compound derived from seaweed, targeting MPXV through in silico analysis.
  • A molecular docking analysis was performed using computational methods to assess the binding interactions between fucoxanthin and MPXV proteins, revealing a binding energy of -5.46 kcal/mol and specific amino acid interactions.
  • The study concludes that fucoxanthin shows promise as an antiviral agent against MPXV, highlighting the effectiveness of bioactive seaweed compounds in combating viral infections.
