Abstract

Breast cancer remains a major global health challenge, with treatment effectiveness often limited by drug resistance and the toxic side effects of chemotherapy on normal cells. The exploration of bioactive compounds from natural sources through a medicinal chemistry approach offers a promising alternative strategy. This study aims to examine the molecular mechanisms of action and Structure-Activity Relationships (SAR) of various natural compound scaffolds as potential breast anticancer agents. The method employed was a systematic narrative literature review of 15 recent scientific articles evaluating computational parameters, including molecular docking, as well as in vitro and in vivo activities. The results indicate that polyphenols, flavonoids such as quercetin and EGCG, and curcumin possess strong cytotoxic activity and high binding affinity toward cancer-related target macromolecules. SAR analysis demonstrates that key structural features, including the number and position of free phenolic hydroxyl groups, the presence of gallate ester groups, and conjugated diketone systems, play a crucial role in determining ligand receptor complex stability. These interactions are supported by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and favorable steric compatibility within receptor binding sites. Computational findings further suggest that structural optimization can enhance ligand selectivity and improve pharmacokinetic properties. This study concludes that natural phytochemical scaffolds have significant potential as lead compounds and provide a rational basis for Computer-Aided Drug Design in developing more potent, selective, multi-target, and safer breast anticancer therapies.

Abstract

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is widely used in the treatment of various bacterial infections. This study aims to analyze the mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin from a medicinal chemistry perspective, evaluate its antibacterial effectiveness against pathogenic bacteria, and identify the developing resistance patterns. The method used is a literature study by reviewing various relevant scientific literature. The results of the study indicate that ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting the enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which play an important role in bacterial DNA replication and transcription, causing DNA fragmentation and bacterial cell death. Ciprofloxacin shows high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, and Vibrio cholerae. However, resistance to ciprofloxacin continues to increase, mainly due to target gene mutations, increased expression of efflux pumps, and changes in porin structure. A deep understanding of the structure-activity of ciprofloxacin is important in the development of new derivatives that are more effective and able to overcome resistance. This study provides important insights into the innovation of more robust antimicrobial drug design.

Abstract

Flavonoids are natural polyphenols that are abundantly found in a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and medicinal plants, and are known for their wide-ranging antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic effects. This comprehensive review outlines the important role of medicinal chemistry in the development of flavonoid-based therapeutics, with a particular focus on classification, structure activity relationships (SAR), mechanisms of action, and various strategies to improve bioavailability. Literature from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar indicates that structural features such as hydroxyl group number and position, the C2=C3 double bond, and modifications like methylation, glycosylation, or prenylation strongly influence biological activity and pharmacokinetics. Clinical use is limited by poor solubility, rapid metabolism, and low stability. Chemical modification and advanced delivery systems including liposomes, nanoparticles, nanocrystals, micelles, and natural carriers can enhance solubility and plasma concentration. Combining medicinal chemistry with modern formulation technologies may enable flavonoids to become safe and effective therapeutic agents.

Abstract

Monascus purpureus, also known as red yeast rice, is a red mold widely used in traditional Asian food fermentation, particularly in Indonesia and China. One of its main bioactive compounds is monacolin K, a substance structurally identical to lovastatin, a well-known cholesterol-lowering statin drug. Monacolin K works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol in the liver. Various modern studies have demonstrated that Monascus purpureus consumption can significantly reduce total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride levels, while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, with relatively minimal side effects compared to synthetic statins. In addition, the natural pigments produced by Monascus purpureus, such as monascin and ankaflavin, exhibit strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that help protect vascular endothelial cells from oxidative stress and inflammation—two major factors contributing to atherosclerosis. The combination of M. purpureus extracts with probiotics or other natural ingredients, such as garlic or fermented soy products, has also been shown to produce synergistic effects in improving lipid metabolism and promoting cardiovascular health. With its potent bioactive components and high safety profile, Monascus purpureus holds great potential to be developed as a natural anticholesterol agent for the prevention and management of dyslipidemia in a sustainable and effective manner.
