Abstract

Objective: The study is focused on evaluating the efficacy of seaweed flavonoids against staphylococcus enterotoxin A.

Methods: The drug-likeness and the pharmacological properties of the chosen ligand were evaluated using SWISS ADME. AutoDockTools-1.5.6 was used to carry out the docking analysis and determine binding parameters with molecular modeling. Docking visualization was performed using discovery studio.

Results: The bioactive flavones demonstrated high molecular interactions with staphylococcus enterotoxin A which assisted in its inactivation.

Conclusion: The study revealed that the phytocompounds chrysin and luteolin can be brought into play as a drug against staphylococcus enterotoxin.
