INVESTIGATION OF HUMULEN'S BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY VIA VIRTUAL SCREENING METHODS

Abstract

This article analyzes humulene, a bioactive natural compound present in essential oils, by using virtual screening. The study utilizes virtual screening to explore possible therapeutic applications of humulene in an inexpensive and time-saving manner. This research will investigate the interaction between humulene and target biomolecules, including enzymes or receptors, in its efforts to find the molecular mechanisms responsible for its pharmacological properties. These findings constitute the basis for understanding humulene's anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties and, therefore, its therapeutic potential. The data obtained in this work will provide fundamental information for the development of new therapies for various diseases or conditions
