Abstract

Resistensi antibakteri merupakan ancaman serius bagi kesehatan global yang menuntut penemuan kandidat obat baru melalui pendekatan inovatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau secara sistematis penerapan metode komputasi Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) dan Molecular Dynamics (MD) dalam pengembangan obat antibakteri terhadap bakteri resisten. Kajian dilakukan menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) berdasarkan pedoman PRISMA dengan menelusuri publikasi ilmiah periode 2015–2025 yang relevan. Proses seleksi dan analisis literatur dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi peran QSAR dan MD dalam prediksi, validasi, serta optimasi senyawa antibakteri potensial. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa QSAR mampu memprediksi potensi aktivitas antibakteri berdasarkan hubungan kuantitatif antara struktur kimia dan aktivitas biologis, sedangkan MD berperan dalam mengevaluasi kestabilan kompleks ligan–protein serta mekanisme interaksi molekuler pada kondisi biologis simulatif. Target protein yang sering dikaji meliputi InhA, DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV, IKK-β, sigmacidins, dan penicillin-binding protein (PBP), dengan fokus pada patogen prioritas seperti Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, dan Streptococcus spp. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa integrasi QSAR dan MD menghasilkan pendekatan komplementer yang efektif dalam mengidentifikasi serta memvalidasi kandidat molekul dengan aktivitas antibakteri tinggi, sehingga pendekatan in silico berbasis QSAR dan MD berpotensi menjadi strategi penting dalam percepatan penemuan obat untuk menghadapi krisis resistensi antibiotik di masa mendatang.

Abstract

Cancer remains a major challenge in modern medicine due to drug resistance and the adverse effects of conventional therapies, making it one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Continuous scientific efforts aim to discover safer and more effective treatments. Owing to their structural diversity, strong bioactivity, and relatively low toxicity, natural compounds show great promise as sources of anticancer drug candidates. This article aims to explore the role of medicinal chemistry in investigating, modifying, and optimizing natural bioactive compounds to develop more effective, selective, and stable anticancer agents with improved bioavailability. A narrative review was conducted using scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025 from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate. The findings indicate that eugenol, berberine, hesperidin, piperine, and quercetin exhibit anticancer activities through apoptosis induction, inhibition of proliferation, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Modern medicinal chemistry relies on understanding structure–activity relationships (SAR), chemical modification, and nanoparticle formulation to enhance biological performance. In addition, in silico techniques such as molecular docking and QSAR analysis are applied to study ligands and receptors and predict bioavailability improvements. The development of natural products as rational, effective, and safe anticancer drug candidates is strengthened by integrating experimental, computational, and pharmaceutical approaches.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is a significant global health problem, with a high prevalence in Indonesia. Although conventional therapies such as statins have been the mainstay of treatment, limited efficacy and side effects necessitate the development of new, more effective and selective drugs. This article explores the role of medicinal chemistry in the discovery and development of cholesterol-lowering drugs, focusing on structure-activity analysis (SAR) and molecular targets. Through structure-based approaches, compounds such as statins and PCSK9 inhibitors have been optimized to increase affinity for biological targets. In addition, exploration of new targets and formulation innovations have shown great potential in improving therapeutic efficacy. Thus, medicinal chemistry contributes significantly to providing safer and more effective therapeutic solutions for the management of hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract

Halitosis, or bad breath, is a multifactorial condition that is often caused by anaerobic bacterial activity in the oral cavity, especially on the dorsum surface of the tongue. The use of natural ingredients as an alternative halitosis treatment is a concern, one of which is the nutmeg plant (Myristica fragrans), which has various active compounds such as essential oils, saponins, flavonoids, and alkaloids. This study aims to assess the potential of nutmeg plants in inhibiting the growth of bacteria that cause halitosis through a literature review of 30 national and international journals within the last five years. The results showed that nutmeg extracts, both from seeds, pulp, and leaves, have antibacterial activity against various types of halitosis-causing bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. This activity is obtained through the mechanism of cell membrane damage and inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis by bioactive compounds in nutmeg plants. Therefore, nutmeg has potential as a natural antibacterial agent in the management of halitosis.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide due to impaired blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle. This study aims to explore the potential of two natural compounds—kaempferol from Moringa oleifera and geranylated chalcone (GTDC) from Artocarpus altilis—as therapeutic candidates for CHD through a molecular docking approach. Medicinal chemistry analysis revealed that kaempferol exhibits significant affinity for the NF-κB protein, forming key hydrogen bonds with residues involved in the inflammatory process of atherosclerosis. Meanwhile, GTDC demonstrates strong binding to the P2Y12 receptor, which plays a crucial role in platelet aggregation, with a docking score lower than that of the natural ligand ADP. Structurally, hydroxyl group positioning and the lipophilic geranyl chain enhance both bioactivity and pharmacokinetic properties. In conclusion, a medicinal chemistry approach involving in silico docking, structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis, and ligand optimization strategies confirms the potential of kaempferol and GTDC as promising multifunctional therapeutic agents for CHD. Further validation through in vivo studies and clinical testing is required.

Abstract

COVID-19 is a viral respiratory disease that has caused a global health emergency and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The lack of certain drug molecules or treatment strategies for this disease is making it worse. Therefore, effective drug molecules are urgently needed to fight COVID-19. Specific therapies for the SARS-COV2 virus are still being developed in several countries around the world. One of the molecular targets that is thought to be specific to SARS-COV 2 is 3CLpro or the main protease of the COVID-19 virus which is an important enzyme to be able to replicate related viruses. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of medicinal chemistry in the development of anti-sars-cov 2 drugs through the exploration of bioactive compounds from natural sources, namely green tea. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) also contains eight native monomeric catechins or polyphenolic compounds. The method used was literature review with analysis of 3 selected articles from international databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Springer, as well as SINTA accredited national journals. The results showed that all test compounds except caffein had stronger binding energy than lopinavir. Epicatecin and catechin have the same binding energy value as lopinavir, which is -7.1 kcal/mol. Catechin gallate and epicatechin gallate have the strongest bond among all test compounds because they have the most negative AG, namely -9.0 and 8.2 kcal/mol.

Abstract

Orthosiphon stamineus Benth., commonly known as kumis kucing, is a widely recognized medicinal herb in traditional medicine, particularly valued for its diuretic properties. This study aims to evaluate the potential of active compounds in O. stamineus as diuretic agents through an in silico approach using molecular docking methods. A total of 98 compounds were screened against three diuretic target receptors: 1Z9Y (furosemide receptor), 3HS4 (acetazolamide receptor), and 3VHU (spironolactone receptor). The docking results revealed that lithospermic acid I, dicaffeoyl tartaric acid, and orthosiponone C exhibited lower binding energies compared to standard ligands, indicating higher affinity and stronger molecular interaction stability. Molecular visualization showed that these compounds formed specific interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking, resembling the binding mechanisms of synthetic diuretics. This study highlights the significant potential of O. stamineus to be developed into a natural diuretic phytopharmaceutical. However, further validation through in vitro and in vivo studies is necessary to confirm their efficacy and safety in complex biological systems.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer in women worldwide, with approximately 2.3 million new cases or 11.7% of all cancer cases. Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER-2) is one of the important therapeutic targets in breast cancer that is overexpressed in 15-25% of cases. Conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy often cause adverse side effects, so safer alternative therapies are needed. This study aims to assess the potential of active compounds from medicinal plants as HER-2 inhibitors through a molecular docking approach. The literature review method was used by analysing related research articles in the last five years obtained from PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The results showed that several active compounds have high potential as HER-2 inhibitors, including beta cystosterol from guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) with a binding energy value of -12.3 kcal/mol, vitexin from dandang gendis (Clinacanthus nutans L.) with a value of -9.3 kcal/mol, and isovitexin from basil mekah (Ocimum gratissimum) with a value of -9.11 kcal/mol. These findings provide a basis for further development of natural active compounds as potential breast anticancer drug candidates with minimal side effects.
