Abstract
Seventeen compounds from Syzygium aromaticum are selected for exo-beta-(1,3)-glucanases inhibitory activity by using molecular docking study. The compounds are uploaded from the PubChem database and molecular docking with AutoDock 1.5.6 tools is carried out. The molecular docking scores indicate that stigmasterol and campesterol are of the highest potentials, and approximately have similar binding affinities with Candida albicans' active site (3N9K, 3O6A). The hydroxyl moiety has played an important role in the antifungal potentiality of all studied compounds.
