It is prevalent in the tropical regions of the world especially in Africa and estimated to affect a population of about 12 million people annually. This theoretical study was therefore conducted in support of the search for more effective drug candidates for the treatment of leishmaniasis. This study focuses on the in silico activity prediction of twenty-eight (28) maleimides, structure-based design, molecular docking study and pharmacokinetics analysis of the newly designed maleimides. All the studied compounds...
