Study of drug-like characteristics of bioactive compounds identified from Dicranella pseudosubulata Müll. Hal. ex Gangulee

Dicranella pseudosubulata Müll Hal. ex Gangulee is a moss species and member of the Dicranaceae family, which known to harbour many secondary metabolites therapeutic importance. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis methanolic extract D. was obtained determine moss. The chromatogram revealed 48 compounds, four compounds showed highest concentrations, constituting 73.86% all bioactive chemicals detected. compound d-Glucitol, 1-O-heptyl- area percentage 45.70 per cent. Other with high concentrations are 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, TMS derivative (13.35%); Palmitic acid, (9.46%) Butanoic 4-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-, trimethylsilyl ester (5.35%). These were then examined for their drug-like characteristics using SwissADME predicted potential target proteins SwissTargetPrediction tools. Molecular docking analyses most probable targets 1-O-heptyl-;9,12-octadecadienoic acid; Beta-glucocerebrosidase (GBA), Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), fatty binding protein (FABP4) Thymidylate synthase (TYMS), respectively, thermodynamically favourable bindings. have been reported be associated various ailments inhibition by these necessary control maintain cell growth in several cancers as well treating malaria leishmania, obesity, lipidosis, kidney necrosis, liver carcinoma, insulin resistance etc. Some exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective activities. Thus, finding suggests that could serve drug against diseases.
