Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although many efforts have been made in the drug discovery and development process through decades, the number of approved drugs has been declining. In the recent years, soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has been considered as promising target for drug development since inhibiting sEH function would prevent the formation of arterial thrombosis. Paederia foetida L. is a folk medicine distributed commonly in Vietnam which is well known for its uses in the treatment of various diseases. This study conducted in silico assessment of 21 isolated compounds from leaves of Paederia foetida L. against sEH enzyme for potential inhibition activity. Obtained results demonstrated that compound 4 and 9 could be potent, safe and novel inhibitors based on docking conformation and druglikeness properties.
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.
