Abstract

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide, with VEGFR-2 (KDR) playing a key role in tumor angiogenesis. Inhibiting VEGFR-2 is a promising therapeutic strategy. Natural compounds are increasingly studied for their potential to inhibit VEGFR-2. This study aims to assess the binding affinity of 11 natural compounds (andrographolide, alpha-mangostin, pinostrobin, pinocembrin, ethyl-p-methoxycinnamate (EPMS), xanthorrhizol, galangin, gamma-mangostin, curcumin, cinnamaldehyde, and alashanoid B) to the VEGFR-2 protein through molecular docking and Lipinski's rule analysis, identifying promising candidates for breast cancer treatment. Molecular docking simulations were performed for 11 compounds and sunitinib as a control, with binding energies and interactions analyzed. The compounds were also evaluated for drug-likeness using Lipinski’s rule of five. Curcumin showed the highest binding affinity to VEGFR-2 with a binding energy of -9.9 kcal/mol, surpassing sunitinib (-9.4 kcal/mol). Key interactions were observed with active site residues Cys919 and Asp1046. All tested compounds met the criteria for oral bioavailability per Lipinski’s rules. Curcumin demonstrates potential as a VEGFR-2 inhibitor due to its favorable binding affinity and drug-like properties. Enhancing curcumin’s bioavailability is recommended for effective therapeutic application.

Abstract

Kecombrang flower (Etlingera elatior) is widely used in traditional medicine and contains various metabolites. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprinting can be employed as an analytical technique to comprehensively reveal the metabolite profile, while ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was developed to optimize metabolite extraction. This study aims to determine the optimal extraction conditions for E. elatior and apply these conditions in HPLC fingerprinting. This study utilized central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the extraction of E. elatior flowers, focusing on extraction time and the simplicia-to-solvent ratio. The optimal extraction results were applied to HPLC fingerprints of the flowers, leaves, and stems of E. elatior. The chromatograms were further analyzed using chemometric methods, namely principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) to classify and interpret the variability of metabolite profiles in different parts of E. elatior. The optimal UAE conditions were determined to be a time of 46 minutes and a simplicia-to-solvent ratio of 1:25 (g/mL). Chemometric analysis revealed that the samples were well clustered, which reflects the similarity of metabolites among them. The HCA further showed that the metabolite profile of E. elatior flowers is closely related to that of the stems.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a second deadly cancer after lung cancer worldwide. Progression of cancer is driven by mutated cancer drive gene such as ARHGAP35. This study aims to analyze the role of ARHGAP35 in the growth and development of breast cancer cells. ARHGAP35 expression level was analyzed using Oncomine (p-value<1E-4; gene rank top 10%). Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were evaluated by using GEPIA (median cutoff; HR displayed with 95% CI). STRING was used for analyzing the protein-protein interaction network, while WEBGESTALT for KEGG pathway and gene ontology (GO) of ARHGAP35 and associated proteins and cBioPortal for gene mutation. ARHGAP35 was overexpressed in several types of breast cancer, namely invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDC), invasive ductal and lobular breast carcinoma (IDLC), invasive lobular breast carcinoma (ILC), male breast carcinoma, and mixed ductal and lobular carcinoma (MDLC). High expression of ARHGAP35 had significantly lower OS (p=0.045) compared to low expression of ARHGAP35 and the difference in DFS was not significant (p=0.98). ARHGAP35 interacted with RHOA, RHOB, RHOC, RHOD, RASA1, RND1, RAC1, CDC42, FYN and SRC. KEGG pathway and GO analysis showed that these proteins are highly involved in actin-based processes through adherent junction, axon guidance, focal adhesion, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and tight junction. Mutation rate analysis showed 34 missense, 29 truncating, 3 fusion, and 1 in frame on ARHGAP35. Taken together, ARHGAP35 may involve in the growth and development of breast cancer through regulation of actin cytoskeleton pathway.Keywords: ARHGAP35, breast cancer, KEGG pathway, mutation rate, actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract

Chalcones, a class of naturally occurring compounds, exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities, including anticancer properties. In this study, a series of methoxylated chalcones were synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against breast cancer MCF-7 and prostate cancer DU-145 cell lines. The synthetic route involved Claisen-Schmidt condensation, leading to various methoxy-substituted chalcone derivatives. The structures of the synthesized chalcones were confirmed through NMR and mass spectrometry. Cytotoxicity was assessed using the PrestoBlue assay, with 4-bromochalcone (compound 2) displaying the highest cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cancer cell lines (IC50 = 26.99 µM). These results indicate that methoxylated chalcones hold promise as potential lead compounds for the development of new anticancer agents targeting breast and prostate cancer.

Abstract

Kasus kanker serviks merupakan kanker tertinggi ke-5 diantara kanker lainnya di dunia. Amplifikasi DNA adalah salah satu mekanisme terjadinya kanker ini. Karena itu, keparahan penyakit ini bisa berkembang. Gen yang berperan dalam perkembangan kanker serviks adalah CCNB1, CCNB2, CDK, dan MMP. Terdapat masalah pada beberapa obat yang menargetkan beberapa protein tersebut seperti erlotinib, alvocidib, marimastat, dan lain-lain. Oleh karena itu, penemuan obat baru untuk mengatasi kasus ini perlu dilakukan. Senyawa Ethyl Para Methoxy Cinnamate (EPMC) mempunyai aktivitas sitotoksik IC50 sebesar 35 μg/ml yang bersifat sangat sitotoksik terhadap sel HeLa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi target dan profil docking molekul senyawa EPMC yang berpotensi menghambat kanker serviks. Pencarian data menggunakan database Pubchem, SWISS Target Prediction, PubMed, STRING, dan PDB. Situs Webgestalt dilakukan untuk analisis Geneontologi, jalur KEGG, dan asosiasi obat. Hasil PTTGs digunakan untuk melihat interaksi antara protein menggunakan STRING dan gen hub 10 teratas dengan cystoscape. Simulasi docking dilakukan untuk menentukan profil mooring. Hasil: Target potensial EPMC adalah EGFR, CCND1, CDK4, CDK2, CCNA1, HGF, MMP9, CCNE1, CCNB1, CDH1. Hasil simulasi docking menunjukkan MMP9 memiliki energi ikatan yang lebih rendah dibandingkan kontrol positif, yaitu sekitar -6,9 kkal/mol. Oleh karena itu, MMP9 berpotensi menjadi target EPMC melalui jalur persinyalan PI3K-Akt. Kesimpulan: Senyawa EPMC dapat menghambat pertumbuhan sel kanker dengan menargetkan MMP9 melalui jalur pensinyalan PI3K-Akt.
