Abstract

A set of Xanthohumol derivatives were selected and molecular docking studies of these ‎compounds on thioredoxin reductase were conducted. Based on new structural patterns using in ‎silico-screening study, new potent lead compounds were designed. The results due to validated ‎docking protocols lead to find that Thr58, Gly57, Gly21, Asp334, Glu163, Ala130, IIe332, ‎Val44 and Gly132 are the main amino acids in the active site cavity in charge of essential ‎interactions with thioredoxin reductase.‎
