Antinociceptive Activity of Chemical Components of Essential Oils That Involves Docking Studies: A Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pain is considered an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, being considered as one of the most important causes of human suffering. Computational chemistry associated with bioinformatics has stood out in the process of developing new drugs, through natural products, to manage this condition.

Objective

To analyze, through literature data, recent molecular coupling studies on the antinociceptive activity of essential oils and monoterpenes.

Data source

Systematic search of the literature considering the years of publications between 2005 and December 2019, in the electronic databases PubMed and Science Direct.

Eligibility criteria

Were considered as criteria of 1) Biological activity: non-clinical effects of an OE and/or monoterpenes on
