Abstract

Xanthine oxidase (XO) is known to be involved in the mechanism of ROS and oxidants production.  XO inhibitor plays role in preventing changes in purines to uric acid so uric acid levels in serum and urine can be reduced. The aim of this study was to analyze the interactions between XO and allopurinol, cucurbitacin B, morindin, or piperine by molecular docking. We obtained XO (1FIQ), allopurinol (CID135401907), cucurbitacin B (CID5281316), morindin (CID151621), and piperine (CID638024) from the database.  Molecular docking was done using Hex 8.0. The docking results were visualized with Discovery Studio 3.5. The interaction of cucurbitacin B with XO and morindin with XO resulted in low docking energy, -375.08 kcal/mol and -377.4 kcal/mol. The docking energy of piperine with XO and allopurinol with XO was -163.32 kcal/mol and -281.4 kcal/mol. Cucurbitacin B and morindin bound to the active site of XO precisely on the FAD domain involving ARG426, ALA338, and ASP360. Both of the compounds established more than 10 bonds of van der waals when interacted with XO. Piperine and allopurinol bound to XO near the Fe2S cofactor. This study suggests that cucurbitacin B and morindin may have high potential as xanthine oxidase inhibitors.Keywords: allopurinol, cucurbitacine B, morindin, piperin, xanthine oxidase

Abstract

Cancer death cases have increased yearly, and there are estimated to be 21.6 million cancer cases in 2030. Studies of herbal compounds for cancer treatment alternatives are essential because cancer treatment is relatively expensive and has adverse effects. Phyllanthus niruri (Pn) and Catharanthus roseus (Cr) are plants that are known as herbal medicines. Combining the two plants is expected to prevent and enhance the immune system in breast cancer cases. This study aims to analyze the anti-cancer and immunomodulatory effects of P. niruri and C. roseus extract (PCE) in modulating macrophage polarization in breast cancer mice. Experimental animals are divided into six groups and there is healthy control (normal mice), cancer (DMBA-induced mice), cancer mice with cisplatin administration, cancer mice with PCE administration with three different doses, including dose 1 (500 mg/kg Pn + 15 mg/kg Cr), dose 2 (1000 mg/kg Pn + 75 mg/kg Cr), and dose 3 (2000 mg/kg Pn + 375 mg/kg Cr). The mice were injected with DMBA once a week for six weeks to induce cancer in mice. The breast cancer mice model was administered with PCE orally for 14 days. The expression of CD11b+IL-10+ and CD11b+IFN-γ+ demonstrated macrophage polarization. The results showed that breast cancer induction using DMBA increased the level of IL-10 and decreased the level of IFN-γ significantly compared to the normal group (p < 0.05). In specific doses, administration of PCE could reduce IL-10 levels and increase the level of IFN-γ significantly (p < 0.05). PCE can modulate the polarization of macrophages by suppressing the M2-like macrophage and increasing the M1-like macrophage. The ability of PCE to modulate macrophage polarization indicates that the combination of P. niruri and C. roseus has activity as an anti-cancer.

Abstract

Acute lung injury tends to be induced by infection or sepsis that disrupt alveolar and vascular permeability, neutrophil influx, and edema. Those impairments are worsened by the increase of oxidative stress along with hyperinflammation response. Oxidative stress in lung tissue could be indicated by malondialdehyde (MDA) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. This research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Baby Java citrus peel extract (BJE) in suppressing oxidative stress and preventing lung injury in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced mice. Twenty-five male BALB/c mice were divided into five groups consisting of untreated (N), LPS (A), and LPS-induced followed by treatment using BJE at various doses: 75 mg/kg BW (BJE-1), 105 mg/kg BW (BJE-2), and 150 mg/kg BW (BJE-3). Lungs were isolated for histopathological analysis also detection of MDA and Nrf2 using flow cytometry. BJE at the dose of 105 mg/kg BW could inhibit the alteration of lung histology following LPS challenge including alveolar and interstitial neutrophil infiltration, proteinaceous debris, and septal thickening. The same dose also showed good potency in suppressing MDA and Nrf2 levels as oxidative stress indicators. Our findings demonstrated protective effects of Baby Java citrus peel in acute lung injury and oxidative stress prevention after LPS exposure.
