Abstract
Phytochemicals from Pavonia odorate plant extract can cure Athletes Foot disease. It is caused by Epidermophyton Floccosum. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy ”suggested that palmitic acid and caproic acid can effectively deactivate the glycerol kinase epidermophyton enzyme thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism.
Keywords: Phytochemical, Pavonia odorate, Epidermophyton floccosum.
