Exploring Potential Phytochemicals for Myasthenia Gravis Treatment: A Molecular Docking and ADME Analysis Approach
Abstract: Objective: Muscle feebleness and exhaustion derived from a disruption in neuromuscular transference are hallmarks of the crippling autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis (MG). The drawbacks of the current MG therapy options are frequently partial efficacy and adverse effects. To investigate the potential of phytochemicals in MG control, in this work we integrated molecular docking with ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) analysis using a computer method. We identified molecules exhibiting favorable …
