Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a prominent role in drug discovery due to the rapid increase in drug resistant infections. Hence, we report the molecular docking analysis of antimicrobial peptides MREEKKERKRD and MVQGAKRGGRLHRV with the target protein CXCL1 in the context of colorectal cancer for further consideration in drug discovery.

The MUC1 oncoprotein is known to be linked with different types of cancer. Therefore, it is of interest to document the molecular docking analysis of compounds from Justica adhatoda L with the MUC1 oncoprotein. We report the structure based molecular binding features compounds such as amrinone, ethambutol, pyrazinamide and vasicoline the MUC1 oncoprotein for further consideration in drug discovery.

A molecular docking analysis has been carried out using monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and triterpenoids that have shown enzyme inhibitory activity as ligands for the cysteine protease cruzain. The binding energies of the docked ligands roughly correlate with their inhibitory activities. The orientations of the docked ligands are consistent with a mechanism whereby these hydrophobic compounds dock into a hydrophobic pocket near the active site, thereby blocking binding of the protein target to the protease.

Beta-catenin is linked with colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, it is of interest to design and develop novel compounds to combat CRC. Hence, we document compounds (chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, quercetin and vanillic acid) from Lycopersicon esculentum with optimal binding features for further consideration.

It is of interest to document the moelcular docking analysis of SARS-CoV-2 linked RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with compounds from Plectranthus amboinicus. Hence, we report the binding features of rutin, Luteolin, Salvianolic acid A, Rosmarinic acid and p-Coumaric acid with the target protein SARS-CoV-2 linked RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) for further consideration.
