Abstract
Extending the potential interest in new drugs resulting from the association of biologically important molecules in stable complexes, the present study shows that this concept previously implemented in the case of two components could be a meaningful and promising one in the case of three components. The choice was made here to show that the quantum chemical modeling of a tripartite complex with DHEA (DEHYDRO-EPIANDROSTERONE) in a ternary association with 5-hydro- xytryptophan (5-HTP) and adenosine triphosphate acid (ATP) could have a sizable stability.
