Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for innovation and the development of antiviral agents. One plant with potential antiviral properties is the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera). However, research on the antiviral activity of dates against SARS-CoV-2 is limited. This study aims to assess the antiviral potential of compounds found in date palm fruit using a molecular docking method. Specifically, we compare these compounds to the antiviral drugs ritonavir and nirmatrelvir in their ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The molecular docking analysis was conducted using various tools and software, including Autodock Vina, DS Visualizer, Autodock Tools, Python, and Marvin Sketch. The results of the study indicate that compounds such as apigenin, diosmetin, and luteolin have strong potential as antiviral agents. The binding affinity of apigenin in date fruit with various SARS-CoV-2 proteins is as follows: -7.6 kcal/mol for 3CL-Pro, -8.7 kcal/mol for Nsp3, -5.7 kcal/mol for PD-ACE-2, and -7.0 kcal/mol for RBD-S. Diosmetin exhibits similar binding affinities with these proteins: -6.7 kcal/mol, -8.5 kcal/mol, -5.6 kcal/mol, and -7.2 kcal/mol, respectively. Luteolin also shows strong binding affinities: -7.9 kcal/mol, -8.6 kcal/mol, -5.7 kcal/mol, and -7.3 kcal/mol. In comparison, nirmatrelvir achieved docking scores of -7.2 kcal/mol, -7.5 kcal/mol, -5.1 kcal/mol, and -6.3 kcal/mol with the same proteins, while ritonavir scored -7.0 kcal/mol, -8.2 kcal/mol, -5.6 kcal/mol, and -6.7 kcal/mol, respectively. Apigenin, diosmetin, and luteolin demonstrate stronger potential than nirmatrelvir and ritonavir, as evidenced by their lower docking scores when compared to these drugs.

Abstract

This study investigates factors influencing adherence to antituberculosis treatment among pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Sendang Agung Health Center. Using a cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling, data were collected from 53 patients treated between January and March 2023. The study employed validated questionnaires and statistical analyses, including Chi-Square and logistic regression tests. The results showed that 33 patients (62.3%) were compliant with using antituberculosis drugs, while 20 patients (37.7%) were not compliant. Results indicate that factors such as age, gender, education, and employment status do not significantly affect treatment adherence. However, knowledge and treatment duration were found to be significant determinants, with knowledge being the most dominant factor (p = 0.004, OR = 16.029). The findings suggest that enhancing patient education and support systems is crucial to improving adherence and treatment outcomes. Further efforts are needed to increase awareness and ensure effective utilization of available healthcare services.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance, or both. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for approximately 90% of all diabetes cases and remains a significant global health challenge. Current pharmacological treatments often have limited efficacy and adverse side effects, necessitating the exploration of safer, more effective antidiabetic agents. Momordica charantia (bitter melon) is a medicinal plant known for its hypoglycemic properties, attributed to bioactive compounds such as cucurbitane-type triterpenoid glycosides, charantin, and momordicin. This study evaluated the potential of cucurbitane, charantin, and momordicin as antidiabetic agents for T2DM using molecular docking simulations. The crystal structure of aldose reductase (PDB ID 2HV5) was obtained from the Protein Data Bank, and AutoDock Tools 1.5.7 was used for docking studies. The binding affinities and interaction patterns of the test compounds were compared with zopolrestat, a standard ligand. Cucurbitane exhibited the lowest binding free energy (-11.70 kcal/mol), indicating the strongest interaction with the 2HV5 protein. All compounds demonstrated similarities in their interactions with key amino acid residues, suggesting comparable biological activity. These findings highlight cucurbitane’s potential as a lead compound for developing more effective antidiabetic therapies for T2DM.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major global health issue requiring effective treatments with minimal side effects. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a key target in hypertension therapy, and plant-derived compounds are being explored as potential ACE inhibitors. The pule pandak plant (Rauvolfia serpentina L.) contains alkaloid compounds that may have antihypertensive properties. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of alkaloid compounds (ajmaline, rescinnamine, reserpine, and serpentine) from the pule pandak plant as antihypertensive agents using an in silico molecular docking approach. Molecular docking was conducted to analyze the binding affinity of the alkaloid compounds to the ACE protein (PDB ID: 1UZF). Binding free energy values were calculated using AutoDockTools software. The ajmaline-1UZF complex exhibited the lowest binding free energy (-5.89 kcal/mol), indicating the strongest binding affinity among the tested compounds. This suggests that ajmaline has the highest inhibitory potential for ACE.

Abstract

Diabetic neuropathy, a painful complication of diabetes mellitus, may potentially be treated with compounds found in cocoa pods. This study investigates the interactions of various flavonoids (catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, luteolin, apigenin, naringenin, and procyanidin) contained in the cocoa pod to the Canonical Transient Receptor Potential (TRPC6) receptor. Molecular docking, facilitated by Autodock software, was employed to predict the binding affinities of these compounds to TRPC6. This involved preparing the molecular structures of the flavonoids and the TRPC6 protein for simulation. The simulation provided insights into the binding efficiencies and interaction energies between the flavonoids and TRPC6. The findings indicate that procyanidin and quercetin exhibit the highest binding energies, at -7.15 kcal/mol and -6.37 kcal/mol, respectively. Procyanidin interacts with the amino acid residues Ala508, Arg609, Arg758, Asn765, Asp530, Glu512, His446, and Met505, while quercetin binds to Arg758, Asp530, Glu512, and Glu524. These results highlight the potential of quercetin and procyanidin as candidates for the development of TRPC6-targeted treatments for diabetic neuropathy. This study lays the groundwork for the creation of new, effective, and safe diabetic neuropathy medications.
