Unveiling molecular insights: in silico exploration of TLR4 antagonist for management of dry eye syndrome by Kothandan Sudhakar, Neeru Dugar, Srikanth Jupudi, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuppusamy Gowthamarajan

“…Root mean square deviation of celastrol/2Z63 was in the range of 1.8–4.8 Å.Conclusion In particular, Glu376 of TLR4 receptor is crucial for the identification and binding of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are part of Gram-negative bacteria’s outer membrane. In our investigation, celastrol binds to Glu376, suggesting that celastrol may prevent the dry eye syndrome by inhibiting LPS’s binding to TLR4.…”
