Molecular Docking Studies and ADME-Tox Prediction of Phytocompounds from Merremia Peltata as a Potential Anti-Alopecia Treatment

This study explored the potential of compounds from the Merremia peltata plant as a treatment for alopecia. Through molecular docking and ADME-Tox prediction, the researchers found that compound 16 (olean-12-en-3beta-ol, cinnamate) exhibited strong bond energy and superior activity compared to commonly used alopecia treatments. ADME-Tox prediction also indicated favorable results for compound 16 in terms of skin permeability, absorption, and distribution. These findings suggest that compound 16 could potentially serve as an androgen receptor antagonist and be beneficial in treating alopecia.
