All the structures used for docking were analysed for in silico drug-likeness based on the Lipinski’s rules using pkCSM server (Table 4). The lipophilicity (expressed as LogP) predicted for all the compounds were found to be well above the traditionally cut-off value of 5 used for drug design. Curcumin and its derivatives, used in this study, show suitable MW values (MW < 500) essential for a successful penetration through biological membranes. The surface area (SA) for all the compounds was observed to be in the range 115.89 − 240.65 Å2 which is well within the limit. All compounds, except 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde curcumin (BHBC), 4-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde curcumin (MNC), Syringaldehyde curcumin (SYC) and compound-16, fall into the appropriate range indicating good bioavailability of the candidate molecule. The number of hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA, ≤10) and donors (HBD, ≤5) for all the compounds were in accordance with the Lipinski’s rule of five.
