Dihydrodyspyrole R and chloroform fractions were evaluated for their effects on the reversion of multidrug resistance (MDR). The compounds (1) and extract exhibited promising MDR reversing effect in a dose-dependent manner against mouse T-lymphoma cell line. Molecular docking of compound 1 revealed the correlation between in-silico with in-vitro results. The molecular docking results showed that compound 1 is bind closely where co-crystal ligand of P-gp is present. But usually, computational investigation predicts that, if a compound gives lesser score then compound will exhibit good activity. Hence, the docking scores of compound 1 are the near to the Rhodamine. It is conclude that there are certain important structural features of compound 1which are responsible for the inhibiting potency of P-gp from mice. The computational Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration (POM) analysis confirms the possibility of use of compound 1 without side effect or less toxicity risks. %Z Funding Agency and Grant Number: Higher Education Commission of PakistanHigher Education Commission of Pakistan [21:619/SRGP/RD/HEC/2014]; Deanship of Scientific at King Saud University [RG-1437-29] Funding text: The author (A.R) is grateful to Higher Education Commission of Pakistan for award of Research Start Up Grant No (21:619/SRGP/R&D/HEC/2014.
