Virtual Screening of compounds to 1-deoxy-Dxylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) from Plasmodium falciparum.


ABSTRACT: The 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) protein (Gen Bank ID AAN37254.1) from Plasmodium falciparum is a potential drug target. Therefore, it is of interest to screen DXR against a virtual library of compounds (at the ZINC database) for potential binders as possible inhibitors. This exercise helped to choose 10 top ranking molecules with ZINC00200163 [N-(2,2di methoxy ethyl)-6-methyl-2, 3, 4, 9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-amine] a having good fit (-6.43 KJ/mol binding energy) with the target protein. Thus, ZINC00200163 is identified as a potential molecule for further comprehensive characterization and in-depth analysis.
