Molecular Docking Insights of Newly Synthesized Schiff Base Monomers and Evaluating the Anticancer Activity of Their Polymers

Introduction The molecular docking technique has shown efficacy with small molecules but faces challenges when applied to macromolecules. To overcome this limitation, a focused approach targeting the active repeat units (monomers) of macromolecules was adopted. This study synthesized ten...

description Introduction The molecular docking technique has shown efficacy with small molecules but faces challenges when applied to macromolecules. To overcome this limitation, a focused approach targeting the active repeat units (monomers) of macromolecules was adopted. This study synthesized ten new dihydroxy Schiff base monomers (SBM1-SBM10) featuring azo moieties and alkoxy side groups. These were attached to human 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (4XO6), a protein linked to breast cancer, using molecular docking via the AutoDock tool.
