In conclusion, in primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma and primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma expression patterns were observed similar to their supposed benign counterparts, germinal center B-cells and postgerminal center B-cells, respectively, which might reflect their indolent clinical behaviour and excellent prognosis. From the 1,230 compounds retrieved in the pharmacophore-based screening, eleven had their binding modes consensually ascribed by the docking methods, suggesting a better selectivity for the parasite enzyme in comparison to the human counterpart by avoiding steric bumps with a flexible loop in the human enzyme binding site. As drug-screening tools, ligand- and fragment-docking platforms stand out as powerful techniques that can provide candidate molecules for hit and lead development.
