    AbstractLycorine is an alkaloid isolated from bulbs of Pancratium foetidum Pom Amaryllidaceae of the genus Lycoris. It has very strong pharmacodynamics properties and biological effects, among others, antimalarial, antiviral, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory. Lycorine has been identified and characterized by thin layer chromatography, IR and NMR (1H and 13C NMR, COZY, HMBC, HSQC and NOESY). The antibacterial activity of lycorine has been evaluated. Lycorine has a moderate antibacterial activity on the majority of strains studied, nevertheless it is more effective than Streptomycin and Ampicillin against bacteria: P. aeruginosa, En. cloacae. To confirm these results, it is necessary to use qualitative techniques and methods, etc… We performed a virtual docking ligand-lycorine protein screening study to predict and characterize their mode of interaction with the LpxC receptor. Docking results have shown that lycorine can interact with target amino residues studied by hydrogen and metal-ion bonds. In addition, the ADME-Tox profile study has shown that lycorine is all in agreement, either with Lipinski's critics or with the toxicity standards.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
