Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src is also known as simply Src is a tyrosine kinase protein which is one of the targets in various cancer therapies such as leukemia. Meanwhile, akar kuning (Arcangelisia flava) has gained significant attention as a medicinal plant that has a cytotoxic effect on various types of cancer cells. This study aims to determine the potential of secondary metabolites of akar kuning as Src inhibitors. Molecular docking was carried out using Autodock Vina 1.1.2 with 2HCK receptors, that quercetin and dasatinib were used as reference ligands. The docking results showed that the highest affinity was shown by berberine with a ΔG value of -9.0 kcal/mol, exceeded quercetin and dasatinib. However, the highest amino acid similarity to quercetin and dasatinib was produced by jatrorrhizine, with 93.33% and 73.91%, respectively. Interestingly, berberine is the ligand with the third-highest similarity after jatrorrhizine and palmatine, while jatrorrhizine has the second-highest affinity after berberine. The results concluded that the combination of berberine and jatrorrhizine is predicted to be optimally used as an Src inhibitor in cancer therapy.

Molecular docking study using chalcone analogue compounds with proteins target from modeling crystallographic structure of Tyrosine kinase enzymes with code 1T46 was carried out with the aid of a computer using the AutoDock Vina program. The aim this study to determine the activity of 5 chalcone analogue compounds obtained from previous studies and 3 chalcone analogues which were modified as inhibitors of liver cancer using 5-fluorouracil as a positive control. Based on the docking results, it has been carried out and shown those compounds 1, 2, and 3 have the potential as the active inhibitors againts HepG2 liver cancer with a successive affinity of -10.1 kcal/mol, -9.7 kcal/mol, and - 9.6 kcal/mol, respectively. For the modified chalcone analogue compounds, compound 8 has the best results with an affinity value of -8.3 kcal/mol and this compound also has six amino acid residues which are the same as 5-flourouracyl (i.e. positive control).

Molecular docking studies of quinoline and 2-chloroquinoline substrates at the active site of toluene dioxygenase (TDO), were conducted using Autodock Vina, to identify novel edge-to-face interactions and to rationalize the observed stereoselective cis-dihydroxylation of carbocyclic rings and formation of isolable cis-dihydrodiol metabolites. These in silico docking results of quinoline and pyridine substrates, with TDO, also provided support for the postulated cis-dihydroxylation of electron-deficient pyridyl rings, to give transient cis-dihydrodiol intermediates and the derived hydroxyquinolines. 2-Chloroquinoline cis-dihydrodiol metabolites were used as precursors in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiopure arene oxide and arene dioxide derivatives of quinoline, in the context of its possible mammalian metabolism and carcinogenicity.

<p>Cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are proteinaceous toxins secreted as monomers by some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria that contribute to their pathogenicity. These toxins bind to either cholesterol or human CD59, leading to massive structural changes, toxin oligomerization, formation of very large pores, and ultimately cell death, making these proteins promising targets for inhibition. Myricetin, and its related flavonoids, have been previously identified as a candidate small molecule inhibitor of specific CDCs such as listeriolysin O (LLO) and suilysin (SLY), interfering with their oligomerization. In this work, molecular docking was performed to assess the interaction of myricetin with other CDCs whose crystal structures are already known. Results indicated that although myricetin bound to the hitherto identified cavity in domain 4 (D4), much more efficient and stable binding was obtained in sites along the interfacial regions of domains 1 – 3 (D1 – D3). This was common among the tested CDCs, which was primarily due to much more extensive stabilizing intermolecular interactions, as indicated by post-docking analysis. Specifically, myricetin bound to (1) the interface of the three domains in anthrolysin O (ALO), perfringolysin O (PFO), pneumolysin (PLY), SLY, and vaginolysin (VLY), (2) at/near the D1/D3 interface in LLO and streptolysin O (SLO), and (3) along the D2/D3 interface in intermedilysin (ILY). These findings provide theoretical basis on the possibility of using myricetin and its related compounds as a broad-spectrum inhibitor of CDCs to potentially address the diseases associated with these pathogens.</p>

Background:: COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been declared as global pandemic by WHO. Comprehensive analysis of this unprecedented outbreak may help to fight against the disease and may play a pivotal role in decreasing the mortality rate linked with it. Papain like protease (PLpro), a multifunctional polyprotein facilitates the replication of SARS-CoV-2 and evades it from the host immunological response by antagonizing cytokines, interferons and may be considered as potential drug target to combat the current pandemic. Methods:: Natural moieties obtained from medicinal plants were analysed for their potency to target PLpro of SARS-CoV-2 by molecular docking study and were compared with synthetic analogs named as remdesivir, chloroquine and favipiravir. The stability of complexes of top hits was analysed by MD Simulation and interaction energy was calculated. Furthermore, average RMSD values were computed and deepsite ligand binding pockets were predicted using Play Molecule. Drug like abilities of these moieties were determined using ADMET and bond distance between the ligand and active site was assessed to predict the strength of interaction. Results:: Nimbocinol (-7.6 Kcal/mol) and sage (-7.3 Kcal/mol) exhibited maximum BA against PLpro SARS-CoV-2 as evident from molecular docking study which was found to be even better than remdesivir (-6.1 Kcal/mol), chloroquine (-5.3 Kcal/mol) and favipiravir (-5.7 Kcal/mol). Both nimbocinol-PLpro and sage-PLpro SARS-CoV-2 complex exhibited stable conformation during MD Simulation of 101ns at 310 K and potential, kinetic and electrostatic interaction energies were computed which was observed to be concordant with results of molecular docking study. RMSD average values were found to be 0.496 ± 0.015 Å and 0.598 ± 0.023 Å for nimbocinol and sage respectively thus revealing that both the deviation and fluctuations during MD Simulation were observed to be least. Deepsite prediction disclosed that both compounds occupied cryptic pockets in receptor and non-bond distance analysis revealed the formation of hydrogen bonds during ligand-receptor interaction. ADMET exploration further validated the drug like properties of these compounds. Conclusion:: Present study revealed that active constituents of Azadirachta indica and Salvia officinalis can be potentially used to target SARS-CoV-2 by hindering its replication process.
