UNLABELLED: Liv-52, an herbal formulation consisting of seven distinct plants and Mandur Bhasma, is recognized for its hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. To investigate the pharmacological potential of each phytochemical from these plants, we conducted ADMET analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulations to identify potent molecules capable of inhibiting the interaction between Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and Cysteine aspartyl protease 3 (Caspase-3/CASP3). In our study, we have used molecular docking of all the compounds against AFP and filtered them on the basis of ADME properties. Among the compounds analyzed, (-) Syringaresinol from , exhibited good binding interactions with AFP, the highest binding free energy, and maintained stability throughout the simulation along with favorable drug likeness properties based on ADME and Toxicity analysis. These findings have strongly indicated that (-) Syringaresinol is a potential inhibitor of AFP, providing a promising therapeutic avenue for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment by inhibiting the interaction between AFP and CASP3, thereby reinstating normal CASP3 activity. Further in vitro studies are imperative to validate the therapeutic efficacy of (-) Syringaresinol as an AFP inhibitor, potentially impeding the progression of HCC.
