ABSTRACT
Mentha arvensis belongs to family Picornaviridae. The leaves of Mentha arvensis are used as herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. The plant has been shown to possess sedative–hypnotic, anti–inflammatory antioxidant, hepatoprotective antibacterial, antifertility and anti-Candida activities properties. The GCMS results showed the presence of 4 compounds in Mentha arvensis with a wide variety of biological activities. The comparative study of 5 non-structural proteins for dengue along with 6 non-structural proteins for Polio virus was carried out through In Silico methods. In this study we examined the binding affinities of 4 ligands with 11 proteins of both viruses. By our virtual screening and molecular docking result, we found that the 3, 7, 11, 15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1- ol had the highest binding affinities with all the 11 proteins and we also predicted the binding site amino acid residues and the type of hydrogen bonding.
