Parkinson’s disease is one of the second most common neuro degenerative\u0000 disorders after Alzheimer’s disease. Erucic acid, an omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid,\u0000 was reported to be commonly present in mustard oil. Erucic acid was also reported to\u0000 have neuro protective and antioxidant benefits in a number of pre-clinical trials\u0000 conducted in the past. In the present study, erucic acid, linoleic acid, and Riluzole\u0000 were evaluated using a molecular docking-based technique based on their binding\u0000 affinities and other physico-chemical characteristics of the compounds. PYRX 0.8 was\u0000 used for molecular docking between ligands and the various antioxidant and\u0000 neurotransmitter-associated proteins, and Discovery Studio Visualizer 2020 was used to\u0000 create the visualization. Additionally, Lipinski's rule of five was used to forecast\u0000 whether these compounds would be drug-like. Further absorption, distribution,\u0000 metabolism, excretion, and Toxicity (ADME-T) profile of the compounds were studied using\u0000 the pkCSM tool. According to drug-likeness analysis, all of the compounds i.e. erucic\u0000 acid, linoleic acid, and Riluzole fell within Lipinski's rule of five's acceptable\u0000 range. The docking studies implied that erucic acid might have anti-parkinsonian effects\u0000 by binding to molecular targets superoxide dismutase (SOD1) enzyme protein i.e. 5YTU and\u0000 to 5-Hydroxytrytamine (5H2TC) receptor protein i.e. 6BQH when compared to Riluzole along\u0000 with good ADME-T properties. However, more research is needed to evaluate the efficacy\u0000 of erucic acid against additional targets of Parkinson’s disease and other neuro\u0000 degenerative illnesses.","PeriodicalId":16445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical pharmaceutical and allied sciences","volume":"35 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140411724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
