Molecular docking is the identification of ligand’s correct binding geometry i.e pose in the binding site and estimation of its binding affinity for the rational design of drug molecule. The current study endeavored the high throughput insilico screening of 24 compounds docked with their respective protein using PyRx-Virtual Screening Tool software. Out of 24 compounds, almost all test compounds showed a very good binding affinity score. Fluconazole was used as a standard drug in case of Antifungal, Ciprofloxacin in case of Antibacterial, and Albendazole in case of Antihelmintics. More negative is the binding free energy score, more favorable is the pose for binding to protein active site. Based on H-bond interactions of these 24 compounds, Compounds 3a5, 3c3, 3d5, 3d6 were found to be the similar outcome for antifungal activity as fluconazole, Compound3a1 for antibacterial, and Compounds 3b5, 3d6 for the antihelmintic agent. Furthermore, the affinity of any small ligand molecules can be considered as an extraordinary tool in the field of drug design and offer imminent in future examination to build up potent antimicrobial agents.
