<p>Inflamasi merupakan suatu respon dari tubuh terhadap adanya cedera maupun infeksi yang ditandai dengan timbulnya kemerahan, demam, bengkak, nyeri dan hilangnya fungsi. Inflamasi berkontribusi terhadap ketidakseimbangan sekresi sitokin yang akan menghambat terjadinya apoptosis pada sel kanker sehingga menyebabkan hiperproliferasi sel. Kanker payudara merupakan salah satu penyakit kanker dengan prevalensi tertinggi di urutan ke dua di dunia. Penelitian terdahulu melaporkan pemberian minyak atsiri rimpang bangle<em> </em>(<em>Zingiber purpureum </em>Roxb.) secara topikal mampu memberikan penghambatan inflamasi yang lebih tinggi daripada <em>triamcinolone</em>, namun spesifik senyawa yang berpotensinya belum diketahui. Tujuan dari penelitian ini, yakni mencari senyawa aktif hasil analisis GCMS minyak atsiri rimpang bangle yang berpotensi sebagai antiinflamasi dan antikanker payudara secara <em>in silico</em>. Metode yang digunakan berupa <em>screening</em> <em>Lipinski’s rule of Five</em>, farmakokinetika dan toksisitas senyawa hasil analisis GC-MS, serta penambatan molekul dan dinamika molekular. Hasil<em> screening</em> dan simulasi penambatan molekul menunjukkan bahwa senyawa 1,4<em>-naphthalenedione-</em>2<em>-ethyl-3-hydroxy </em>dapat berikatan dengan reseptor COX-1 (antiinflamasi), dan hERα (antikanker payudara), namun lebih selektif terhadap reseptor COX-1 dengan nilai energi bebas (ΔG) yang lebih kecil yakni sebesar -7,20 kkal/mol, dibandingkan dengan interaksinya terhadap reseptor Erα yang bernilai -6,00 kkal/mol. Hasil simulasi dinamika molekular menggunakan metode kalkulasi MM-GBSA menunjukkan bahwa kompleks (1,4<em>-naphthalenedione-</em>2<em>-ethyl-</em>3<em>-hydroxy)</em>-(COX-1) memiliki nilai ∆G<sub>TOTAL </sub>sebesar -24,22 kkal/mol. Nilai ini lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan ∆G<sub>TOTAL </sub>kompleks (1,4-<em>naphthalenedione-</em>2<em>-ethyl-</em>3<em>-hydroxy</em>)-(hErα) sebesar -8,92 kkal/mol). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat afinitas 1,4<em>-naphthalenedione-</em>2<em>-ethyl-</em>3<em>-hydroxy</em> terhadap COX-1 diprediksi lebih baik dan lebih poten sebagai antiinflamasi dibandingkan sebagai antikanker payudara.</p><p><strong><em>In Silico</em> Study of 1,4<em>-Naphthalenedione-</em>2<em>-Ethyl-</em>3<em>-Hydroxy</em> Compounds as Anti-inflamation dan Breast Anticancer</strong>. Inflammation is a response from the body to injury or infection which is characterized by redness, fever, swelling, pain, and loss of function. Inflammation contributes to the imbalance of cytokine secretion which will inhibit apoptosis in cancer cells, causing cell hyperproliferation. Breast cancer is one of the cancer diseases with the second-highest prevalence in the world. The pioneering works reported that topical application of Bangle (<em>Zingiber purpureum</em> R) was able to provide a higher inhibition of inflammation than triamcinolone, however, the specific potential of the compound was unknown. The purpose of this study is to find active compounds that have the potential to be anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer in the breast using <em>in silico</em> approach. The methods used are screening Lipinski’s Rule of Five,<em> </em>pharmacokinetics and toxicity of compounds from GC-MS analysis and molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. The screening and molecular docking simulation results showed that the compound 1,4-naphthalenedione-2-ethyl-3-hydroxy can bind to COX-1 (anti-inflammatory), and ERα (Estrogen Reseptor α), but was more selective towards COX-1 receptor with a binding affinity (ΔG) -7.20 kcal/mol, compare to its interaction with ERα which is -6.00 kcal/mol. The results of molecular dynamics simulation using the MM-GBSA calculation method show that the complex (1,4-naphthalenedione-2-ethyl-3-hydroxy)-(COX-1) has a value of ∆G<sub>TOTAL</sub> of -24.22 kcal/mol). This value is smaller than ∆G<sub>TOTAL</sub> of the complex (1,4-naphthalenedione-2-ethyl-3-hydroxy)-(hErα) of -8.92 kcal/mol. The results indicate that the affinity level of 1,4-naphthalenedione-2-ethyl-3-hydroxy to COX-1 was predicted to be better and more potent as an anti-inflammatory than as an anti-breast cancer.</p>

AbstractCurcuma amada or Mango ginger, a member of the Zingiberaceae family, has been revealed as a beneficiary medicinal plant having diverse pharmacological activities against a wide range of diseases. Due to having neuromodulation properties of this plant, the present study characterized the secondary metabolites of Curcuma amada for their drug-likeness properties, identified potent hits by targeting Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and revealed neuromodulatory potentiality by network pharmacology approaches. Here in silico ADMET analysis was performed for chemical profiling, and molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were used to hit selection and binding characterizations. Accordingly, ADMET prediction showed that around 87.59% of compounds processed drug-likeness activity, where four compounds have been screened out by molecular docking. Guided from induced-fit docking, molecular dynamics simulations revealed phytosterol and curcumin derivatives as the most favorable AChE inhibitors with the highest binding energy, as resulted from MM-PBSA analysis. Furthermore, all of the four hits were appeared to modulate several signaling molecules and intrinsic cellular pathways in network pharmacology analysis, which are associated with neuronal growth survival, inflammation, and immune response, supporting their capacity to revert the condition of neuro-pathobiology. Together, the present in silico based characterization and system pharmacology based findings demonstrate Curcuma amada, as a great source of neuromodulating compounds, which brings about new development for complementary and alternative medicine for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

Στην παρούσα διατριβή πραγματοποιήθηκε εκτενής μελέτη για την αναζήτηση πρόδρομων βιοδραστικών ενώσεων (hits) από χημικές βιβλιοθήκες για τρείς βιολογικούς στόχους, μέσω της εφαρμογής εμπορικά διαθέσιμων in silico τεχνικών και μεθοδολογιών.Οι στόχοι που επιλέχθηκαν ανήκουν σε διαφορετικές κατηγορίες πρωτεϊνών με μεγάλο φαρμακευτικό ενδιαφέρον, που όμως παρουσιάζουν διαφορετικό επίπεδο ωριμότητας όσον αφορά την εφαρμογή υπολογιστικών εργαλείωνγια την ανακάλυψη νέων φαρμακευτικών ενώσεων. Συγκεριμένα, οι στόχοι που μελετήθηκαν είναι οι ακόλουθοι:•το ένζυμο της 14-α διμεθυλάσης της λανοστερόλης (CYP51) για την αναζήτηση νέων πρόδρομων βιοδραστικών ενώσεων με αντιμικροβιακές ιδιότητες,•το ένζυμο της HIV τύπου 1 πρωτεάσης (HIV-1 PR) για την αναζήτηση νέων πρόδρομων βιοδραστικών ενώσεων με αντι-HIV δράση,•ο διαμεμβρανικός υποδοχέας της Αγγειοτασίνης ΙΙ (ΑΤ1) για την αναζήτηση νέων πρόδρομων βιοδραστικών με αντιυπερτασική δράσηΟι κυριότερες τεχνικές που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την αναζήτηση πρόδρομων βιοδραστικών ενώσεων περιλαμβάνουν την Εικονική Σάρωση (Virtual Screening) με χρήση Φαρμακοφόρων Μοντέλων (Pharmacophore modeling), τη Μοριακή Πρόσδεση (Molecular Docking), την πρόβλεψη μοριακών ιδιοτήτων καθώς και Προσομοιώσεις Μοριακής Δυναμικής (Molecular Dynamics Simulations). Η στρατηγική που ακολουθήθηκε διαφέρει σημαντικά ανά στόχο όσον αφορά τη μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση και την επιλογή των υπολογιστικών εργαλείων-αλγορίθμων, δίνοντας έμφαση στη συμπληρωματικότητα των αποτελεσμάτων τους. Για την ανάδειξη των πρόδρομων βιοδραστικών ενώσεων, πραγματοποιήθηκαν in vitro βιολογικές δοκιμές των ενώσεων που προτάθηκαν μέσω των υπολογιστικών τεχνικών. Οι ενώσεις που επιλέχθηκαν παρουσίασαν ανασταλτική δράση (ή συγγένεια πρόσδεσης) σε ικανοποιητικό εύρος τιμών 102 nM–μΜ για να χαρακτηριστούν πρόδρομες βιοδραστικές. Μείζονος σημασίας είναι και το γεγονός ότι οι δομικοί σκελετοί των προτεινόμενων ενώσεων για κάθε στόχο, είναι διαφορετικοί τόσο μεταξύ τους όσο και συγκρινόμενοι με τα υφιστάμενα φαρμακευτικά μόρια. Ως εκ τούτου, μπορούν να αποτελέσουν κατάλληλα "υποστρώματα" για το επόμενο στάδιο που αφορά τη βελτιστοποίησή τους προς ενώσεις-οδηγούς (hit to lead optimization) και δυνητικά προς νέα φαρμακευτικά προϊόντα.

Abstract Background The study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic properties of ethanolic extract of Tacca integrifolia rhizome (EETI) in mice and cytotoxic effects in brine shrimp nauplii followed by a PASS prediction study for some isolated compounds of T. integrifolia. Additionally, this experiment included the in silico molecular docking and ADME/T property analyses of some phytochemicals. Methods Formalin- induced paw licking test and acetic acid-induced writhing test for analgesic activity, carrageenan-induced paw edema test for anti-inflammatory potential and Brewer’s yeast-induced pyrexia test for antipyretic activity were applied. Antinociceptive and antineoplastic activity for breast cancer were revealed with PASS program. Schrodinger suite 2015 was used to evaluate the binding interaction and ADME/T properties of selected phytoconstituents with estrogen receptor alpha. Results In formalin-induced paw licking test, EETI at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg BW showed highly significant inhibition of writhing in both neurogenic and inflammatory phases. While EETI also exhibited highly significant, compared to control, writhing inhibition for both the doses in acetic acid-induced writhing test. Moderate anti-inflammatory effect at a dose of 400 mg/kg BW was noticed in paw-edema test. It also showed 77.51% of maximum antipyretic effect which was significantly effective compared to standard drug paracetamol (150 mg/kg) in Brewer’s yeast-induced pyrexia test. The EETI showed potential cytotoxic activity with LC50 value of 114.46 μg/mL. The PASS prediction revealed the potential antinociceptive and antineoplastic activity of target compounds. The compounds betulinic acid, quercetin-3-α-arabinoside, catsanogenin were found to be effective in molecular docking study. Conclusion It is evident that the EETI possesses highly significant analgesic activity with remarkable anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity. The phytoconstituents have potential antinociceptive and antineoplastic (breast cancer) activity. Graphical abstract
