In this study, the interaction between the phytochemical molecules - piperine and pipernonaline - and the ligand binding domain of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ is investigated at a theoretical level by using the AutoDock software, which is a program that allows docking of molecular ligands to receptor macromolecules. The docking results show that the ligandreceptor complexes are formed through hydrogen bond interactions. The hydrogen bonds involve oxygen atoms in the piperine and pipernonaline ligands as hydrogen bond acceptors and hydrogen atoms from =NH or -NH groups of the amino acid residues in the receptor as hydrogen bond donors.  2
