ABSTRACT:
Now a day, phytochemicals are widely consideration for structure optimization programs which focuses on making more active and less toxic drug products. Psoriasis is an inflammatory, chronic, remitting and relapsing, genetically influenced skin disease. Variety of flavonoid structureswere used to find the potential molecules against the psoriasis. In this current study molecular docking studies were carried out to identify the flavonoids having good binding ability with the target protein of psoriasis. Docked ligands were subjected to identify the drug like properties using drug-likeness prediction. Findings suggested that 23 flavonoid structures may act against the psoriasis.
KEYWORDS: Drug design, De novo design, Ligand system, Artificial intelligence, Machine learning.
INTRODUCTION:
Around 1 to 3 % of world’s population is affected by Psoriasis (Ps). Ps is an inflammatory, chronic, remitting and relapsing, genetically influenced skin disease. It also shows many other medical conditions associated with the skin and nearly affects over 60 million children and adults all over the world1. Establishing psoriasis as a global burden is a major WHO research. In 2014 WHO passed an intention in which psoriasis is recognized as a “chronic, non-communicable, painful, disfiguring, and disabling disease for which there is no cure”2. Several studies have revealed different features which contribute to the Ps pathogenesis.
Factors contributing to the pathogenesis of Ps are immune system, environmental conditions and genetic factor, resulting in its recognition as a multifactorial disease3. Ps is divided into five types these are as...
