Adenovirus is a group of common virus which causes infection in eyes, air ways, lungs and intestine. It causes infection in all type of age groups. Recently this virus has caused pandemic at 1-12/13 age groups child on Feb 2023 in West-Bengal. Though some drugs have been already designed against adenovirus, their side effects warrant the need for alternative natural therapeutic interventions. Phytochemicals are compounds having plant origin and can be used as therapeutic strategy with no or less side effects than traditional drugs and there is also less chance to develop resistance against these compounds. In this study, bioinformatic pipeline has been developed to identify Phytochemicals from Ficus carica (Fig, Bengali name “Dumur”) phenolic leaf extracts which can inhibit adenoviral glycosylated membrane protein, a protein which has been reported to act as antiviral drug target. For searching of inhibitors against this target protein from Ficus carica (Fig), initially 116 phytochemicals were screened from IMPPAT (Indian Medicinal Plants, Phytochemistry and Therapeutics) database and out of them 94 were passed the ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) properties. Those phytochemicals has been run for molecular docking analysis against the adenoviral 18.5 kDa Glycosylated Membrane protein (18.5 kDa GMP) by Auto dock vina through PyRx. Docking analysis showed that Taraxasterol exhibited most favorable binding affinity (-7.8 kcal/mol) than other compounds as well as than natural ligand of glycosylated membrane protein. So this compound can be used as novel, natural therapeutic agent against Adenoviral target protein. However, further in vitro and in vivo study using this potential adenoviral inhibitor is needed for further validation.
