Four hundred Phytochemical (bio-active) compounds having predictive activity for treating Sickle Cell Anemia were screened, using PASS online computational resource. Twenty-six compounds out of the four hundred compounds which showed high probability for treating sickle were further screened for pharmacokinetics profiles (ADMET properties) using SwissAdmet, AdmetSAR 2 and Pro-tox II online resources. Only thirteen compounds that displayed good ADMET properties from the twenty-six were further used for DFT calculations and molecular docking against carbonmonoxy sickle hemoglobin (PDB ID: 5E6E). Molecular docking analysis reinforced by DFT calculations showed that two compounds, phenanthrene-5,6-dione (A9) and 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxychromen-4-one (A13, Luteolin) had the best binding affinity of − 8.3 and − 8.9 kcal/mol, respectively, compared to voxelotor (GBT-440), a drug use in treating sickle cell disease. Molecular dynamic simulations showed that 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxychromen-4-one (A13, Luteolin) is highly stable with the protein than voxelotor.
