Abstract
Flavonoids in nature are known to possess various activities such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-HIV activities etc., The molecular docking was performed by 26 naturally occurring flavonoids with selected targets COX-2, hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase, tyrosinase from Agaricus bisporus, isomaltase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Human IkB kinase beta, Human ABC transporter, topoisomerase II, topoisomerase IV, N-myristoyltransferase from Candida albicans, Peptide deformylase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, polypeptide deformylase from Streptococcus pneumoniae. The analysis was based on docking score, glide energy, interactions type (bond type and distance) and interaction with amino acids. The top 5 flavonoids with best docking score was reported. The in-silico results provided for 26 naturally occurring flavonoid shows that they reduce the risk of inflammation, cancer and infectious disease if people have taken in diet continuously. The provided docking data of flavonoids may be useful to synthesis novel drug candidate for the mentioned targets.

Value of the Data
|
Flavonoids are a group of bioactive compounds which are extensively found in foodstuffs of plant origin. These are plant pigments synthesized from phenylalanine and generally display marvelous colors to the flowering parts of plants. Flavonoids comprise a large group of poly phenolic compounds, characterized by a benzo-4-pyrone structure, which is ubiquitous in vegetables and fruits. More than 9000 flavonoids have been reported in the literature and are present in different types and parts of plants such as vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, beans, herbs, roots, leaves, seeds etc. The core structure of flavonoids has a three-ring diphenyl-propane (C6–C3–C6) unit, a fifteen-carbon skeleton. The flavonoid contains two benzene rings (A ring and B ring) which are connected by a C3 moiety. The C3 moiety forms a six-membered heterocyclic ring (ring C) attached to ring A. Regular consumption of flavonoids reduces the risk of a number of chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthrosclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders, anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antiviral, and free radical scavenging. Among dietary sources of flavonoids, there are fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and spices. So, the provided docking data of flavonoid may be useful to synthesis novel drug candidate for the mentioned targets.

3. Experimental design, materials, and methods
3.1. Protein selection and preparation
The crystal structures of the selected proteins were retrieved from protein data bank. (PDB database, www.rcsb.org). The downloaded protein structure was prepared prior to docking using Schrodinger Maestro release 2018-4. Protein preparation was done by preprocessing the structures by assignment of bonds and bond orders, addition of hydrogens, filling in missing loops or side chains, capping uncapped C and N termini, adjusting bonds and formal charges for metals, and correcting mislabeled elements, removing water molecules, removing unwanted chains and optimization of hydrogen bonded structures followed by minimization.
3.2. Ligand preparation and molecular docking
The structures of the selected 26 flavonoids were downloaded from Pubchem https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and saved in mol format. The energy minimization was done using Ligprep. The minimized structures were docked on the prepared protein. The best flavonoid was identified based on the binding energy and interaction with amino acid residues for each protein.
