Objective: In this study, an in silico test of 13 active compounds of leaf Jatropha multifida Linn. was carried out against the gyrase receptor (PDB ID: 2XCT).
Methods: The methods include molecular docking, ADMET prediction, and a review of Lipinski's Rule of Five.
Results: Molecular docking simulation results obtained three test compounds with free energy of binding (∆G) and inhibition constants (Ki) at active site A, which are lower than the comparison compound, ciprofloxacin (∆G-5.41 kcal/mol). The three compounds are C2 (multidione), C5 (citlalitrione), and C6 (cleomiscosin A) which have ΔG of-6.00,-6.90, and-5.56 kcal/mol. Based on ADMET prediction, compound C5 has better pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxic activities compared to ciprofloxacin.
Conclusion: Therefore, C5 is the best active compound from J. multifida, which can be used as a candidate for new antibiotics in the treatment of diabetic wounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
