Show abstract
This study aims to identify potential inhibitors of the Ag85C enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis through primary docking, pharmacophore modelling, and ADME/pharmacokinetics analysis. Delamanid and Pretomanid emerged as the top hits in primary docking, demonstrating strong binding affinities and interactions with key active site residues. A robust pharmacophore model was developed, identifying essential features for binding and used to screen 4254 antituberculotic compounds, yielding three promising candidates: F0314-0040, F0398-0505, and F0349-2716. These compounds exhibited high binding affinities in major docking studies. ADME and pharmacokinetics analysis revealed favorable Drug likeness and absorption profiles, supporting their potential as effective antituberculotic agents. The integration of computational methods provided a comprehensive approach for rational drug design.
