Ginkgolide B Mediated Alleviation of Inflammatory Cascades and Altered Lipid Metabolism in HUVECs via Targeting PCSK-9 Expression and Functionality

Figure 5

Molecular informatics studies of Ginkgolide B and Atorvastatin with PCSK-9. (a) Interaction of Ginkgolide B (represented as red ball-stick model) with PCSK-9 (PDB I.D.: 2p4e) residues showed the binding energy (ΔG) of –7.13 Kcal/mol. (b) Interaction of Atorvastatin (represented as red ball-stick model) with the residues of PCSK-9 showed the binding energy (ΔG) of –7.02 Kcal/mol.
