Abstract:New treatment regimens against tuberculosis (TB), which is still a serious social problem, are urgently needed. Herein, the anti‐TB potential of methanolic extract of Saraca asoca (S. asoca) was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv strain and ∼88 % inhibition was achieved. To explore the interaction of phytochemicals with the targets of mycobacteria, 13 phytochemicals of S. asoca were docked with 3 receptors of Mtb H37Rv viz VapC2, PPE41, and CarD. Among these phytochemicals, Epicatechol, L… Show more
