Abstract

Methotrexate (MTX) and Etoricoxib (ETC) have not been studied against three inflammation targets, such as phospholipase A2 (PLA2), 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) using Schrodinger Software package 2021. This study's main objective was to employ in-silico methodologies to examine how well the anti-inflammatory drugs MTX and ETC worked against these three key targets [1DCY (Crystal structure of Human S-PLA2 in complex with Indole-3 active site inhibitor); 2GDZ (Crystal structure of 15-PGDH, complexed with NAD+ ); and 4NOS (Human-iNOS with Inhibitor)]. Also, using the online computational tool SwissADME, it has been investigated how to estimate the drug-likeliness, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetics of MTX and ETC
