RESUMEN
One of the most often utilized methods for drug discovery is molecular docking. With docking, one may discover new therapeutically relevant molecules by targeting the molecule and predicting the target-ligand interactions as well as different conformation of ligand at various positions. The prediction signifies the effectiveness of the molecule or the developed molecule having different affinity with target. Drug discovery plays an important role in the development of a new drug molecule of different moiety attached to it, which leads us in the management of several diseases. In silico approach led us to identification of numerous diseases caused by virus, fungi, bacteria, protozoa, and other microorganisms that affect human health. By means of computational approach, we can categorize disease symptoms and use the drugs available for such types of warning signs. After the docking process, molecular dynamics computational technique helps in the simulation of the physical movement of atoms and molecules for a fixed period of time, giving a view of the dynamic evaluation of the system. This review is an attempt to illustrate the role of molecular docking in drug development.

iRhom2 is a crucial cofactor involved in upregulation of TNF receptors (TNFRs) and the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) from the cell surface by ADAM17. Tumor necrosis factor- α converting enzyme (TACE) is another name given to ADAM17. Many membrane attached biologically active molecules are cleaved by this enzyme which includes TNFRs and the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor- α. The TNF receptors are of two types TNFR1 and TNFR2. iRhom2 belongs to the pseudo-protease class of rhomboid family, its abundance is observed in the immune cells. Biological activity of ADAM17 is affected in multiple levels by the iRhom2. ADAM17 is trafficked into the Golgi apparatus by the action of iRhom2, where it gets matured proteolytically and is stimulated to perform its function on the cell surface. This process of activation of ADAM17 results in the protection of the organism from the cascade of inflammatory reactions, as this activation blocks the TNF- α mediated secretion responsible for inflammatory responses produced. Present paper illustrates about the iRhom2-TNF-α-BAFF signaling pathway and its correlation with several autoimmune disorders such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Hemophilia Arthropathy, Alzheimer's disease and Tylosis with esophageal cancer etc.
