Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a silent killer which can cause complications such as heart diseases, stroke, and chronic kidney diseases. Olmesartan is a one of the Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) for an alternative treatment of hypertension. However, this drug has low bioavailability, short duration, and partial agonist against angiotensin 1 receptor (AT1). Indonesia has more than 6.000 phytochemicals which are derived from various herbal plants but their therapeutic effects are unknown. Molecular docking is an initial step to find new drug candidates that have shorter time and lower cost. Therefore, this study aimed to identify phytochemicals as an AT1 antagonist through molecular docking for hypertension treatment.  Methods: This was a bioinformatics study. Research samples were all phytochemicals registered in HerbalDB, had 3 dimention structure, and met criteria of Lipinskis rule of five. Olmesartan was used as a standard ligand and obtained from PubChem. AT1 receptor was downloaded from Protein Data Bank. Validation of receptor-standard ligand binding complexes was done by using Autodock Vina 1.1.2 five times. Docking results were visualized using Pymol 1.7 and Chimera 1.10. Data were analyzed using  docking scores, binding sites, molecular conformation, and criteria of Lipinskis rule of five.  Results: Olmesartan had -9.9 Kcal/mol docking score and interacted with the AT1 receptor at Tyr35, Trp84, dan Arg167 residues. Boeravinone F (-10,2 Kcal/mol), Chitranone (-10,5 Kcal/mol), and Withanolide D (-10,8 Kcal/mol) had lower docking score than olmesartan. These phytochemicals had binding sites as same as olmesartan except Chitranone with an additional binding site  at Asp281 residue. The phytochemicals  had different conformation from olmesartan but had similarity of chemical properties with olmesartan.  Conclusions: Boeravinone F, Chitranone, and Withanolide D can be potential as an AT1 receptor inhibitor insilico for hypertension treatment. Keywords: hypertension, AT1 receptor, olmesartan, phytochemicals, molecular docking.

Abstract

Background: Prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to rise in the world, while DM therapy using oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) was still not effective. GLP-1R agonist was a drug that has been developed because it can lower blood sugar levels without hypoglycemic effect. However, GLP-1R agonists have severe side effects such as pancreatitis, thyroid cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Indonesia has 9,600 herbal plants, some of which have a pharmacological effect that could potentially be developed as a drug. This study aimed to identify the Indonesian pythochemicals that have activity as GLP-1R agonist in silico. Methods: The research was a bioinformatics study which utilized all phytochemicals in HerbalDB that had PubChem access code and met the criteria for Lipinski's rule of five as sample. Truncated Exendin-4 was used as standard compound. The structure of Exendin-4 bound to GLP-1R was obtained from the Protein Data Bank, code: 3C5T. Validation of truncated Exendin-4 with GLP-1R needed to get docking scores and binding site at GLP-1R. Molecular docking between phytochemical compounds with GLP-1R models was done using AutodockVina 1.1.2. Visualization of docking results was done using PyMOL 1.7.4. GLP-1R agonist candidates were analyzed based on binding affinity, binding site similarity, and Lipinski's rule of five criterias. Results: Weighteone and Eupatorin were two selected phytochemicals of the most potentially be GLP-1R agonist based on analysis of docking scores and binding site similarity with truncated Exendin-4. Weighteone and Eupatorin bound to Glu68, Glu127, and Glu128 of GLP-1R. Weighteone had docking scores of -5.12 kcal/mol, -6.22 kcal/mol, and -3.88 kcal/mol lower than truncated Exendin-4. Eupatorin had docking scores of -5.02 kcal/mol, -6 kcal/mol, and -3.58 kcal/mol lower than truncated Exendin-4. Conclusion: Weighteone and Eupatorin were the potential Indonesian phytochemicals that could be a GLP-1R agonist in silico. Future studies using Molecular Dynamics Simulation (MDS) method is required to validate this result. In vitro studies are also needed to evaluate these phytochemicals activity as GLP-1R agonists. Keywords: GLP-1R agonists, Indonesian phytochemicals, molecular docking, diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Some heavy metals and organic solvents like toluene and formaldehydeare hazardous chemicals that are usually used to paint furniture.These compounds may increase oxidative stress andassociatewithseveraldiseases.Oxidative stress is characterized by high levels of free radicals, which induce macromolecule oxidation including lipid. Lipid is oxidized to become reactive and toxic compounds like ethane and MDA. This study aimed to investigatethedifferences ofplasma MDA levels between furniture painters and non-painters. Method:This study was analytical observationwithcross sectional research design. Thisstudywas conducted in several furniture industries in Taunan, Jepara. 14 people who work as furniture painters were classified as the painter group and 14 people who work as non-furniture painters become the control group. The plasma MDA levels were measured by using Thiobarbituric Acid ReactiveSubstances(TBARS) test. The collected data was statistically analyzed by using student t and multiple linear regression tests. Result:The majority of people in painter group aged between 20-34 years old and was younger than that of control group (25-39 years old). A significant increase in MDA levels was observed in the painter group, compared with MDA levels of the control group (5.74 0.39 vs. 1.94 0.33 mol/L) with p value <0.001. Paint exposure was significantly associated with plasma MDA levels (r = 0,968; = 96,80%; p<0,001).Other factors such as nutritional status, food, psychic, sports and air pollutants had small proportion (3.20%) to increase the MDA levels. Conclusion:Plasma MDA levels of furniture painters increased approximately three-fold and are positively related to paint chemical exposure. This data suggests the possibility of oxidative stressin furniture painters although its pathogenesis needs further investigation. Keywords: Furniture painters,oxidativestress, plasma MDA level
