In Silico Screening and Molecular Docking of Cynodon dactylon phytochemicals against COPD-Associated Proteins
Abstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD is a pulmonary disease that obstructs airways and alveoli accompanied by respiratory issues like emphysema and bronchitis. This disease is caused mainly by inflammatory responses of the body to foreign particles that enter the respiratory path including tobacco smoke, air pollutants and irritants. The hallmark of COPD is excessive inflammation caused by imbalance in protease anti-protease activity. Proteases like elastase breakdown the ECM of …
