Natural Product Identification and Molecular Docking Studies of Leishmania Major Pteridine Reductase Inhibitors

Natural Product Identification and Molecular Docking Studies of Leishmania Major Pteridine Reductase Inhibitors

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) has been one of the prime targets for discovering novel antileishmanial therapeutics in the fight against Leishmaniasis. This enzyme catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of pterins to their tetrahydro forms. While chemotherapy...
