Abstract

One of the most prevalent cancers in Indonesia is breast cancer, based on Indonesia's pathological-based registration.    Breast cancer is a complex, heterogeneous disease classified into hormone-receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 overexpressing (HER2+) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) based on histological features. Patients with HR+, HER2- Early Breast Cancer (EBC) do not experience recurrence or recurrence for a long time with currently available standard therapy [11]. However, up to 30% of patients with high-risk clinical and/or pathological features may experience a relapse in the first few years. This results in the need for research and development regarding updates in medicine both in terms of treatment and targets and drug compounds used. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) protein functions in signaling and influences the apoptotic pathway as well as cancer cell survival. In this study, an insilico screening experiment of inhibitory compounds was carried out on the JNK protein receptor target by screening compounds and molecular docking of compounds for breast cancer therapy.Two novel herbal compounds, Mangostin and ent-Copalyl Dyphospate, have the potential to be turned into medicines that may cause apoptosis through JNK protein targets according to an in-silico-based molecular simulation technique

Abstract

Skin aging is a physiological process marked by changes in the skin's structure, giving rise to the characteristics of skin aging, such as pigmentation. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) identify genetic profiles that play a role in skin aging characteristics such as pigmentation. This study aimed to gather information about candidate SNPs and genes related to pigmentation characteristics of skin aging across different populations. We systematically searched relevant articles published in PubMed and ProQuest in the last ten years. Out of 212 articles screened, seven studies pertinent to our research are included in the analysis. Results indicated that in European and East Asian populations, several gene candidates such as IRF4, MC1R, ASIP, BNC2, PPARGC1B, RAB11FIP2, and CYP1A associated with SNPs that are known to have functions related to skin aging. However, further comprehensive analysis is needed to understand the functional correlation between SNP or gene candidates and pigmentation. In addition, the diversity of the subjects in the GWAS is still concerning. The future comprehensive analysis of GWAS, which involves underrepresented ones, is needed to broaden the knowledge of skin aging mechanisms across different populations.

Abstract

The use of antibiotic drugs requires close supervision that patients take antibiotics according to the rules. Irregular antibiotic use led to increased ADR cases (Antibiotic Drug-resistant). ADR is when an individual becomes resistant to an antibiotic drug that cannot kill bacteria. The high number of ADR cases prompted drug discovery to be implemented in analysis for Antibiotic candidates with good effectiveness through the Molecular Docking approach. The search for candidate test compounds as antibiotics were performed using the pharmacophore modelling method and molecular docking. And piperine, withaferin, has some of the same amino acids Ala101, Val103, Glu166, Trp165, and Leu102. Based on the prediction of the promising potential test ligand compound is Corosolic acid. In addition to assessing drug-likeness, pharmacokinetic and toxicity parameters, corosolic acid also has the lowest binding energy among other compounds. Through a textual bioinformatics approach, molecular docking simulations can be used as a first step in the search for new drug candidates in silico by considering various aspects, starting from the physicochemical properties of protein-ligand compounds and the environment. Analysis during the docking process to ADMETOX is an analysis to see the effectiveness and in silico compound safety.
