In silico Inhibition of BACE-1 by Selective Phytochemicals as Novel Potential Inhibitors: Molecular Docking and DFT Studies.

CONCLUSION: Out of seven phytochemicals, four are from plant Glycyrrhiza glabra i.e. Shinflavanone, Glabrolide, Glabrol and PrenyllicoflavoneA, one from Huperzia serrate i.e. Macleanine, one from Uncaria rhynchophylla i.e. 3a-dihydro-cadambine and another one is VolvalerelactoneB from plant Valeriana-officinalis. It is concluded that these phytochemicals are candidate for drug/inhibitor against BACE-1, and can be administered to humans after experimental validation through in vitro and in vivo trials.
