In Vitro and In Silico Cytotoxic and Antibacterial Activities of a Diterpene from Cousinia alata Schrenk by Almira Zhanzhaxina, Yerlan Suleimen, Ahmed M. Metwaly, Ibrahim H. Eissa, Eslam B. Elkaeed, Raigul Suleimen, Margarita Ishmuratova, Kydyrmolla Akatan, Walter Luyten

“…The presence of the essential pharmacophoric features of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors in the structure of grindelic acid encouraged us to run a molecular docking study against the HDAC enzyme to understand its mechanism of action on a molecular level. Grindelic acid showed a binding mode of interaction similar to that of the cocrystallized ligand and exhibited good binding affinity against HDAC with the binding free energy of −18.70 kcal/mol. …”
