Abstract

n

n

nMenstrual disorders, including dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), amenorrhea (absence of
menstruation), and irregular menstrual cycles, significantly impact women reproductive health
and overall well-being. These conditions often arise from hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and
uterine dysfunction, necessitating effective therapeutic interventions. Current treatments, such as
hormonal therapies (oral contraceptives, progestin-only pills), NSAIDs, and surgical procedures
(endometrial ablation, hysterectomy), provide relief but often target symptoms rather than
addressing the underlying causes. Consequently, there is a growing interest in alternative plant-based therapies with gynecological benefits, with Abroma augusta emerging as a promising candidate. The objective of the study is to identify the potential phytocompounds of Abroma
augusta and evaluate their therapeutic potential by analyzing their binding affinity with Estrogen
Receptor Alpha (ER-α) through molecular docking. By investigating the molecular interactions of
these compounds, this research seeks to provide scientific validation for the traditional use of A.
augusta and explore its potential as a natural therapeutic agent for menstrual disorders.nn
