Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world, mainly caused by chronic disease or virus. Prior studies have documented that the upregulation of c-MET can trigger the cancer progression, hence c-MET has been widely explored as target therapy for HCC. Tahongai plant (Kleinhovia hospita L.) has known to possess several biological effects, including anticancer activity. However, the molecular mechanism in this plant has not been studied yet. In this study, the bioactive constituents from Tahongai were evaluated based on the physicochemical features and molecular interaction in c-MET through in silico approaches. The druglikeness of each compound was checked through SwissADME, while the pharmacokinetic profile was predicted through preADMET webtool. The pharmacophore screening and molecular docking against c-MET were assessed using LigandScout and Autodock, respectively. Out of 14 selected compounds, only one (astragalin) did not pass the Lipinski rule, and most of the compounds demonstrated good ADMET profile. Eleutherol was choosen as the hit compound based on pharmacophore studies, and stibostemin G was potential to inhibit c-MET based on similar molecular interaction compared to its native ligand through molecular docking analysis. Further confirmation is urged to prove its anticancer effect from Tahongai against HCC, particulary targeting on c-MET

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance occurs through several mechanisms, one of which is  increase in beta-lactamase which can inactivate beta lactam antibiotics. The approach in finding new sources of antibiotics can be done by utilizing natural resources, one of which could be developed is miana leaves (Coleus scutellarioides). However, there has been no evaluation study related the antibacterial potential of the bioactive content  miana leaves against beta-lactam. This study analyzed the potential of bioactive compounds from miana leaves as beta-lactamase inhibitors through a computational approach. The methods used include physicochemical and pharmacokinetic profile prediction analysis, followed by pharmacophore screening and molecular docking. The results showed that most of the bioactive compounds of C. scutellarioides fulfill Lipinski's rule and show a good ADMET profile. Pharmacophore analysis produced the best model with an area under curve (AUC) score of 0.87. Molecular docking studies showed the compound 1-(4-phenylcyclohexyl)-1-hexanone had the highest binding affinity to beta-lactamase with a binding energy of -7.2 kcal/mol. This molecular interaction involves hydrogen bonding with amino acid residue GLU272 and van der Waals interaction toward ALA292 and TYR150. Therefore, bioactive compounds from miana leaves show potential as beta-lactamase inhibitors and open opportunities for the development of new antibacterial therapies based natural resources.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Tamoxifen, a widely used estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) inhibitor, is effective but often causes side effects, necessitating the search for alternative inhibitors from natural sources. Ortosiphon aristatus, also known as cat's whiskers, is a medicinal plant traditionally valued for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Recent studies suggest its bioactive compounds may exhibit anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis in cancer cell lines. This study explores the potential of O. aristatus metabolites as ER-α inhibitors using computational approaches. Nine metabolites were assessed for their physicochemical properties based on Lipinski’s rule of five and ADMET predictions, followed by pharmacophore-based virtual screening with LigandScout and molecular docking with AutoDock. The results showed that all tested compounds complied with Lipinski’s rule, and most met ADMET criteria. Among these, rosmarinic acid was identified as one of the hit compounds based on pharmacophore screening, exhibiting binding interactions comparable to 4-hydroxytamoxifen with the ER-α amino acid residues HIS524 and GLY521. It also demonstrated a binding energy of -8.02 kcal/mol and a low inhibition constant (Ki) of 1.31 μM. These findings highlight the potential of O. aristatus and rosmarinic acid for further evaluation as candidates against ER-α in breast cancer cells.Keywords: breast cancer, estrogen receptor-alpha, Orthosiphon aristatus, in silico.

Abstract

Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are widely used in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis management. However, the side effects of NSAIDs on multiple organs need to be anticipated. Curcumin is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential, comparable to that of NSAIDs. In a previous study, structurally modified curcumin increased the pharmacological effect and simultaneously reduced the toxicity and side effects of curcumin. Pentagamavunon-0 (PGV-0) is one of the active components synthesized by the structure modification of curcumin. Purpose: In this study, we identify the potential target of PGV-0 on the pathogenesis of temporomandibular arthritis characterized by inflammation. Methods: We used a bioinformatics approach to compare the PGV-0 target with curcumin and diclofenac sodium as controls. We identified overlapping gene targets of bioactive compounds (PGV-0, curcumin, or diclofenac sodium) retrieved from the SwissTargetPrediction and GeneCards platforms, specifically for temporomandibular arthritis. An interaction model among targets was developed using the STRING database and Gene Ontology Panther to expound on the bioactive compound’s function on the key signaling pathway. Finally, we formulated a molecular docking prediction between the bioactive compound and the target protein marker derived from the previous analysis using Molecular Operating Environment tools. Results: This study found that curcumin and PGV-0 targeted different molecular pathways in temporomandibular arthritis compared to diclofenac sodium. Curcumin and PGV-0 shared a similar pathway to curcumin by modulating metalloproteinases (MMPs), especially MMP-9 and MMP-13. Moreover, diclofenac sodium influenced cyclooxygenase metabolism. Conclusion: In this study, PGV-0 targeted metalloproteinase in temporomandibular arthritis pathogenesis. This finding underlines the PGV-0 advantage in preventing metalloproteinase-related tissue damage in temporomandibular arthritis.

Abstract

Avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill.) are known to possess various pharmacological properties, including notable anticancer potential. While preliminary studies have reported the cytotoxic effects of avocado seed extracts on breast cancer cells, there is still a lack of comprehensive research exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects. This study explores bioactive compounds found in avocado seeds as potential agents targeting estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), a key biomarker in breast and cervical cancers. The investigation employs a range of computational approaches, including the Lipinski Rule of Five, ADME/Tox predictions, pharmacophore screening, and molecular docking analysis. Of the ten tested compounds, seven passed the Lipinski Rule of Five. ADME/Tox analysis revealed that most compounds exhibited adequate human intestinal absorption (HIA), poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, moderate Caco-2 permeability, and good plasma protein binding (PPB), while some were predicted to be mutagenic or carcinogenic. Pharmacophore modeling yielded an AUC of 0.87, with procyanidin B scoring 45.09 as a hit compound. Molecular docking revealed catechin, hyoscyamine, and atropine had the lowest Gibbs free energy (-5.15, -0.10, -0.07 kcal/mol). Among the compounds, catechin in avocado seed shows the highest potential for development as an ER-targeted anticancer agent.

Abstract

Earlier findings reported the anticancer-mediated activities of curcumin-modified compounds Pentagamavunone-1 (PGV-1) and Chemoprevention Curcumin Analog 1.1 (CCA-1.1) with several mechanisms including cell cycle arrest, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and cell migration disruption. Our study aims to evaluate the antimigratory activity of PGV-1 and CCA-1.1 on aggressive breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and HCC1954 cells) and their effect on HER2 protein. The trypan blue exclusion method was conducted for the antiproliferative effect. The PGV-1 or CCA-1.1 effect on cell migration was determined by wound healing assay. Using gelatin zymography, we checked the secretion level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). We also evaluated the human epidermal growth receptor-2 (HER2) level after incubation with PGV-1 or CCA-1.1 in HCC1954 cells by western blot. Based on the antiproliferation assay, MDA-MB-231 and HCC1954 cells were sensitive to PGV-1 and CCA-1.1. MMP-2 was only observed in HCC1954 cells while MMP-9 was only observed in MDA-MB-231. Both PGV-1 and CCA-1.1 significantly suppressed MMP-9 activity in MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, PGV-1 inhibited HER2 protein levels in HCC1954 although it was not significant, whereas CCA-1.1 did not affect HER2 protein. This study strengthens the scientific evidence for PGV-1 and CCA-1.1 activities for future exploration as candidate chemotherapy with multitarget against breast cancer.Keywords: Curcumin analog, cell migration, MMP-9, HER2, breast cancer.

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition that can disrupt memory, cognition, and neurological functions, Recent studies highlight caspase-3 as a potential target, with several lines of evidence pointing to the enzyme's possible role in the onset of AD. Several findings revealed that betel leaf was also examined to treat AD by targeting acetylcholinesterase in vitro and in silico, yet no evaluation had not been done in caspase-3 activity. Using molecular docking, Lipinski's and PreADMET prediction, an in-silico analysis of compounds found in betel leaf (Piper betle L.) was conducted in order to determine whether these compounds could be applied as therapeutic candidates in the treatment of Alzheimer's. To ascertain the drug similarity and ADMET profile of the evaluated ligands, the Mcule and PreADMET sites were used in the studies, which were followed by the molecular docking simulation software AutoDock. The findings demonstrated that all the tested compounds passed the physicochemical features based on Lipinski rule. Further analysis then showed that arecoline bound to the critical amino acid that involved in caspase-3 inhibition. Further evaluation needs to be done to confirm the molecular mechanism of P. betle leaves to AD.
