Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), commonly found on the skin and nose, causes minor skin conditions to life-threatening diseases, including boils or impetigo, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections. MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus) is a strain resistant to many antibiotics and poses a significant challenge in clinical settings. Nowadays, the alternative drug Linezolid is used, and it is not clear when MRSA starts resistance to it, necessitating the need for more alternative drugs with the least chance of developing resistance. This study aims to identify a multitargeted drug candidate with better efficacy than Linezolid. We have taken three hydrolase and transferase proteins from S. aureus, performed the multitargeted docking studies with human-approved drugs, and compared them with the control drug Linezolid. The docking and MM\GBSA scores ranging from -6.79 to -5.78 Kcal/mol and - 37.47 to 30.16 Kcal/mol, respectively, that revealed Deprodone (used for inflammatory skin disorders, bowel disease, and fatty acid metabolism disorders) can be a far better and multitargeted drug candidate than Linezolid. We extended our studies to include extensive pharmacokinetics and molecular interaction fingerprints for interaction pattern studies. Also, the DFT computations optimised the drug, and we extended our studies for MD Simulation in water for 100 ns, which showed the complexes among the identified drug with proteins are entirely stable with acceptable deviation, fluctuations and many intermolecular interactions that make them stable. We also performed the MM\GBSA studies on MD simulation's all 1000 frames to understand the complex energy level. All the results reveal promising interactions between Deprodone and the targeted enzymes, suggesting its potential as a multitargeted therapeutic agent-however, experimental studies need to validate Deprodone against MRSA.
