Chloroform extract and acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid from Boswellia dalzielii stem bark induce apoptosis and cell cycle blockage in AW8507 cells

Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute

Table 2 Reverse virtual screening of Acetyl-keto-11-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) and docetaxel (TXL) against αβ Tubulin

Target protein	PDB entry	Ligand-protein complex	Binding scores (kcal/mol)
αβ Tubulin	1TUB³⁰		AKBA (up) = -8.9
			TXL (down) = -8.3

In the structural depictions, AKBA (black) and TXL (red) occupy the defined active site of the target protein which is employed in its crystallographic state as retrieved from the protein data bank
