Human P-gp is one of the protein responsible for the multidrug resistance (MDR) develpment. MDR is a major cause of the cancer chemotherapy. In this paper, we performed homology modeling, docking study of papayriferic acid into the P-gp nucleotide binding domain (NBD2). For human P-gp, X-ray crystal structure is not known yet. We developed homology model for human NBD2 using HlyB ABC transporter structure (PDB code: 1XEF, resolution 2.5 ${\AA}$). Docking study was performed using Autodock. Docking result was analyzed, which shows that ligand docks into steroid binding site and interacts through hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions.
