In-silico analysis of potent Mosquirix vaccine adjuvant leads.

ABSTRACT:

Background

World Health Organization recommend the use of malaria vaccine, Mosquirix, as a malaria prevention strategy. However, Mosquirix has failed to reduce the global burden of malaria because of its inefficacy. The Mosquirix vaccine's modest effectiveness against malaria, 36% among kids aged 5 to 17 months who need at least four doses, fails to aid malaria eradication. Therefore, highly effective and efficacious malaria vaccines are required. The well-characterized P. falciparum circumsporozoite surface protein can be used to discover adjuvants that can increase the efficacy of Mosquirix. Therefore, the study sought to undertake an in-silico discovery of Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite surface protein inhibitors with pharmacological properties on Mosquirix using hierarc
