Exploring Natural Alkaloids from Brazilian Biodiversity as Potential Inhibitors of the <i>Aedes aegypti</i> Juvenile Hormone Enzyme: A Computational Approach for Vector Mosquito Control

Exploring Natural Alkaloids from Brazilian Biodiversity as Potential Inhibitors of the <i>Aedes aegypti</i> Juvenile Hormone Enzyme: A Computational Approach for Vector Mosquito Control

This study explores the potential inhibitory activity of alkaloids, a class of natural compounds isolated from Brazilian biodiversity, against the mJHBP enzyme of the <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquito. This mosquito is a significant vector of diseases such as dengue, zika, and chikungunya. T...
