  1. Note: Binding energies were calculated using the AutoDock Vina platform as described in the Methods section. Drug with three-dimensional structures were retrieved from the PubChem database, and the Il6 protein structure was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Compounds with binding energy < − 6 kcal/mol were selected for visualization of the docking conformations. Lower binding energy values indicate stronger binding affinity.
