Multi-Target Mechanisms of Moroccan Aphrodisiac Plants: An Integrative Computational and Phytochemical Investigation. [PDF]
Moroccan medicinal plants with in silico‐approved aphrodisiac effects provide 94 phytochemicals. Docking against PDE5, AR, ERα, and aromatase gives top scores for lutein (−10.6), baicalein (−9.5), liquiritigenin (−9.2), and procyanidins (−9.7). ADMET filtering passes baicalein and liquiritigenin but excludes lutein and procyanidins. MD simulations (200
