Cardamom extract is a traditional medicine that is used to treat Bronchitis. The objective of the study is to identify the phytochemical of Cardamom capable of curing pneumonia-like bronchitis Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that acetic acid can effectively deactivate glycerophosphodiester phospho diesterase enzyme thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism.
