The compound, 2-({3-[(3,5-dichlorobenzyl) amino] propyl} amino) quinolin-4(1H)-one (OOU) which is a co-crystallized ligand with the target was used as the reference compound. Screening of the molecular descriptors of the compounds for bioavailability, pharmacokinetic properties, and bioactivity was performed using the SWISSADME, pkCSM, and Molinspiration web servers respectively. The Fpocket and PLIP webservers were used to perform the analyses of the binding pockets and the protein ligand interactions. Analysis of the time-resolved trajectories of the Apo and Holo forms of the target was performed using the Galaxy and MDWeb servers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The lead compounds, Strophanthidin and Isopteropodin are present in\n                      <jats:italic>Corchorus olitorius<\/jats:italic>\n                      and\n                      <jats:italic>Uncaria tomentosa<\/jats:italic>\n                      (Cat\u2019s-claw) plants respectively.

The complex formed by Isopteropodin and the target had a total RMSD of 4.408 and a total RMSF of 9.8067.
