Background and Objectives: Currently infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus have increased and raised antibiotic resistant isolates. Therefore, lots of studies have been done to introduce novel anti-S.aureus compounds especially natural originated constitutes. Hence, this study aimed to determine bioinformatics screening of novel inhibitors of antibiotic resistance-associated proteins in S.aureus from medicinal plants.
Material and Methods: Firstly, in this descriptive study, three-dimension structure of a set of phytochemicals from three medicinal plants including Ferulago angulat, Scrophularia striata, Laurus nobilis were retrieved from PubChem database. Then, three-dimension structure of four antibiotic resistance-associated proteins including β-lactamase, penicillin binding protein 2A (PBP2a), Vancomycin A (VanA) and D-alanyl-D-alanine dipeptidase (VanX) were obtained from Protein Data Bank. Finally, the ability of the selected phytocompounds for inhibition of the mentioned antibiotic resistance-associated proteins was investigated using molecular docking method by iGemdock 2.1 software.
Results: The results showed that most of the tested compounds had appropriate interaction to all the studied proteins especially to VanX. The results also revealed that Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and Palmitic acid had strongest interactions to all the tested proteins.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and Palmitic acid found in the surveyed medicinal plants are good candidates for more in vitro and in vivo studies about anti-bacterial activity against antibiotic resistant S. aureus.
