Considering free energy of binding as a criteria of evaluation, a total of 12 compounds were predicted to be potential inhibitors of Cytochrome P-450-14-Alpha-Sterol Demethylase (Cyp51) and 10 compounds displayed greater binding affinities than fluconazole as Cytochrome P-450-14-Alpha-Sterol Demethylase (Cyp51) Inhibitor. Compound 1a & 1b were the most potent in inhibiting the Cytochrome P-450-14-Alpha-Sterol Demethylase (Cyp51), in silico. Putative interactions between Cytochrome P-450-14-Alpha-Sterol Demethylase (Cyp51) and inhibitors were identified by inspection of docking-predicted poses. This understanding of protein¨Cligand interaction and value of binding energy imparts impetus to the rapid development of novel Cytochrome P-450-14-Alpha-Sterol Demethylase (Cyp51). %K Polysubstituted triazole %K cytochrome P-450-14-Alpha-Sterol Demethylase (Cyp51) %K molecular docking %U http://www.pharmascitech.in/admin/php/uploads/40_pdf.pdf
