Abstract

Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is crucially involved in redox homeostasis and essential for Plasmodium falciparum. This communication, reported a first-time important Docking study by in Silico approach, using AutoDock Vina. After a selective analysis of over 300 drugs, processed with Pyrx (a Virtual Screening software into the active site of protein ( ID PDB 4J56 Thioredoxin reductase 2 Chain A), it investigated the excellent value of Binding Energy of Telatinib estimated by Pyrx software, ca. -12 kcal/mol. These results are comparable to the crystallized ligand FAD ( Flavin-Adenine-Dinucleotide), situated in the above-mentioned protein.
