Background:The prolonged use of antibiotic viz., tetracycline, quinolones, ampicillin, etc., to reduce the infection of cholera, may failed due to the emergence of new Vibrio cholerae antibiotics resistant strains. Moreover, these antibiotics even restricted for patient suffering from severe dehydration. Hence, there is a call to find an alternative therapeutics against V. cholerae. The natures serve different herbs in its lap which might contain several natural therapeutic compounds almost all diseases. Computer-aided designing is the initial steps for screening the novel inhibitors.Objective:To identify and evaluate natural compounds with low side effects with high efficacy against V. cholerae has been done.Materials and Methods:In silico screening, absorption, digestion, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), and docking of herbal compounds have been performed on to the target ToxT (transcriptional activator of V. cholerae). The compound with good ADME properties and drug-likeness property were subjected to docking.Results:From 70 herbal compounds, some compounds such as aloin, campesterol, lupeol, and ursolic acid showed a violation of the rule of five and compounds such as lupeol and beta carotene showed negative binding energy. Luteolin, catechin, brevifolin, etc., compounds were selected based on ADME, drug-likeness property, and docking studies.Conclusion:Two compounds named catechin and luteolin showed better inhibition properties against ToxT and good ADME and drug-likeness property were selected as a better lead molecule for drug development in future. The Genetic Optimization for Ligand Docking fitness score for catechin is 48.74 kcal/mol and luteolin 38.12 kcal/mol.SUMMARY Vibrio cholerae became antibiotic resistance and associated with several cholera epidemic and pandemic. Hence, there is a need to find an alternative therapeutics against V. cholerae. Many herbal compounds present in nature having high medicinal value. From in-silico study, found two compound Luteolin from Tulsi and Catechin from Green Tea which showed good binding energy and druggish property.

Vibrio cholerae is a causative agent of cholerae, many people dies every year, especially in developing countries around the world. The outbreaks of cholera are responsible for approximately 120,000 deaths annually. Cholera is a self limiting illness; however antibiotics are used as a part of treatment regimen. But at present, the treatment against cholera has become very critical issue worldwide, because most of the strain developed multidrug resistance. Efflux pumps, spontaneous chromosomal mutation, conjugative plasmids, SXT elements and integrons are discussed as an antibiotics resistant mechanism. Now at present the demand is to find an alternative and promising strategy and development of novel therapeutics. The present chapter is mainly focus on the treatment, strategies and developing resistance against these antibiotics. Later section mainly focused on the utility of natural remedies against V. cholerae infection.
