Assesses anti-Alzheimer effects of alkaloids, indicating promising therapeutic options.
BACKGROUND: Alkaloids are important phytoconstituents obtained from various plant sources. The study's primary goal is to assess the anti-Alzheimer potential of alkaloids using a molecular docking study. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is considered a gradual decline in memory, reasoning, decision-making, orientation to one's physical surroundings, and language. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The main target i.e. acetylcholinesterase proteins was selected for the molecular docking study. RESULTS: The structures of various alkaloids were drawn using Chem Draw Software, PDB was retrieved from the RCSB PDB database, and molecular docking study was performed on Molergo Virtual Docker. The potential alkaloids were identified with anti-Alzheimer potency. CONCLUSION: Reserpine, vinblastine, ergotamine, and tubocurarine were found to exhibit potential anti-Alzheimer potency.
