Abstract

In an attempt to search a new class of antibacterial drugs, for treatment of tuberculosis molecular docking studies with proteins 1EYN was carried out using some chromene derivatives. Some of the chromene derivatives were found to have binding energy and docking pattern very close to the originally docked molecule in 1EYN while some other show higher docking scores compared to the originally docked ligand in 1EYN protein. The quick prop results reveal that these molecules are non-toxic. The results reveal that chromenes may exhibit significant antibiotic activities against tuberculosis and indicate that this class of natural product should be considered further in the development of new and more potent antibiotics of Tuberculosis.
