An in silico Approach to Predict Toxicological Mechanisms of Selected Phytochemicals from Areal Parts of Heliotropium indicum Linnaeus and Synthetic Medicines

Animesh Mandal, Soumendra Nath Talapatra

Abstract: This in silico study was attempted to predict toxicological mechanisms of selected phytochemicals of Hatisur weed (Heliotropium indicum Linnaeus) and synthetic medicines used for anti-inflammation. we used the ProTox-II online tool (version, 3.0) for the prediction of toxicological mechanisms especially Tox21-Nuclear receptor signalling pathways and -stress response pathways of selected phytochemicals and synthetic medicines. In the present study, for Tox-21 nuclear signalling pathways and Tox-21 stress response pathways, all the compounds were found inactive on the different parameters. In conclusion, all of these phytochemicals and synthetic medicines obtained inactive for Tox-21 nuclear signalling pathways and Tox-21 stress response pathways. It is suggested to conduct in vivo bioassay to validate these predictive results in future.
