Article Synopsis
- Triterpenoids, a group of bioactive plant compounds, have potential nutritional and pharmaceutical benefits, often used as nutraceuticals for therapeutic purposes.
- This study investigates the effects of four specific triterpenoids—betulinic acid (BA), oleanolic acid (OA), ursolic acid (UA), and maslinic acid (MA)—on the inhibition of the FadA5 enzyme associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- Utilizing molecular dynamics and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics techniques, the research aims to assess binding interactions and enhance predictions of binding affinities between the triterpenoids and FadA5.
