Abstract

German measles (also known as Rubella) a viral illness that causes a rash and fever; though mild and self-limiting but can be serious in pregnant women as it can cause birth defects in the developing fetus. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent rubella. It usually starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. The rash is sometimes itchy and is not as bright as that of measle. Rubella is usually spread from one person to the next through the air via coughs of people who are infected. People are infectious during the week before and after the appearance of the rash. Babies with CRS may spread the virus for more than a year. Only humans are infected Insects do not spread the disease. The name “rubella” is from Latin and means little red. It was first described as a separate disease by German physicians in 1814 resulting in the name “German measles”. The FASTA sequence is retrieved from Genbank database. Next, we modelled the 3D structure of the FASTA protein sequence using modeller. The best model was selected using Ramachandran plot. Phytocompounds from medicinal plants is considered Ocimum sanctum, Fumaria parviflora, Tinospora cordifolia, Azadirachta indica, Picrohiza kurroa as considered as novel drug leads is retrieved from PUBCHEM database. The phytocompounds are checked for drug-like properties using molinspiration software. The compounds having no violations was considered for further docking studies.

The phytocompounds palmatine, syringin, cryptopine with docking score of -4.33 kcal/mol with 25 interactions. Cdk docks with cryptopine with docking score of 6.08 kcal/mol with 29 interactions.

MON1B docks with berberine with docking score of 5.03 kcal/mol with 21 interactions. Cds docks with bernerin with docking score of -9.1kcal/mol with 33 interactions.
