Alkaloids represent a diverse category of natural compounds with noteworthy pharmacological and therapeutic applications. Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are distinguished by their varied structures potential medicinal properties. This study specifically investigates Norcinnamolaurine, BIA found in multiple species acknowledged for its advantages. In the current investigation, we comprehensively analyzed encompassing Frontier Molecular Orbital studies, vibrational spectroscopy, nonlinear optical properties, bond orbital evaluations, Fukui's analysis. Additionally, executed an E-pharmacophore-based screening utilizing AURKA-Norcinnamolaurine complex. The generated hypothesis underwent database screening; lead from Natural Product Drug Bank databases exhibited enhanced binding affinities ranging −8.602 to −7.148 kcal/mol, demonstrating improved interactions within AURKA pocket. Subsequently, identified were subjected further analysis via MMGBSA, DFT, Dynamics Simulations (MDS). Our findings indicate that Norcinnamolaurine exhibits superior affinity towards target protein. Significant outcomes also observed FMO studies. Moreover, MDS revealed resultant complexes maintained relative stability, exhibiting minimal deviation fluctuations. stability was corroborated through additional assessments using MMPBSA PCA/FEL methodologies.
