In Silico Exploration of the Molecular Mechanism of Cassane Diterpenoids on Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Activity

Cassane diterpenoids (CAs), recognized as main constituents of many medical plants of the genus Caesalpinia, exhibit diverse bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity, and also showed a therapeutic effect on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) according to previous work, including ours. In this study, 102 CA compounds were selected to explore the possible molecular mechanism of this class of natural products on...
