Overview

Molecular docking shows beta-sitosterol and astaxanthin enhance COX-2 binding affinity, suggesting a potential safer anti-inflammatory therapy.

Key Points

  • The BS-AXT combination enhances binding affinity to COX-2, indicating synergistic effects.
  • Docking results improved from -7.5424 to -9.2033 kcal/mol when combining beta-sitosterol and astaxanthin.
  • Hydrophobic interactions with key residues in COX-2 are fundamental to the binding behaviors of beta-sitosterol and astaxanthin.
  • The findings support continuing research into beta-sitosterol and astaxanthin as natural COX-2 selective inhibitors.
