Unlabelled: The global spread of monkeypox, caused by the double-stranded DNA monkeypox virus (MPXV), has underscored the urgent need for effective antiviral treatments. In this study, we aim to identify a potent inhibitor for MPXV DNA polymerase (DNAP), a critical enzyme in the virus replication process. Using a computational drug repurposing approach, we performed a virtual screening of 1615 FDA-approved drugs based on drug-likeness and molecular docking against DNAP.

It plays a vital role in brain to maintain a constant supply of neuronal lipids for rapid and dynamic membrane synthesis. Aggregation of beta amyloid plaques (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles in brain are responsible for onset of AD.
