Abstract
Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are alpha herpes viruses, which causes life-threatening illness. Therefore, it is of interest to design and develop potential drugs to treat HSV infections. We show the optimal molecular docking properties of a secondary metabolite (3, 7, 11, 15 tetra methyl-2-2-hexadecen-'1-ol) with the glycoprotein receptors of HSV1 and HSV 2 for further consideration.
