Increasing melanogenesis process causes excessive melanin synthesis resulting in darkening of the skin color. The melanogenesis process requires mealnogenesis enzymes, one of which is tyrosinase-related protein 1. One of the flavonoid compounds that has the potential as a skin lightening agent is quercetin. The antioxidant activity of quercetin plays a very important role in antimelanogenesis. This study aims to determine the affinity and molecular mechanism of quercetin on the target protein tyrosinase-related protein 1 using in silico molecular docking method. Molecular docking is carried out through stages including optimization of the structure of quercetin compounds, preparation of the target protein tyrosinase-related protein 1, validation of the molecular docking method, and docking of quercetin on the tyrosinase-related protein 1. Docking of quercetin with tyrosinase-related protein 1 produces binding energy values of -7.81 kcal/mol, while docking of native ligand with tyrosinase-related protein 1 produces binding energy values of -5.39 kcal/mol. Quercetin has a strong affinity for tyrosinase-related protein 1 which is indicated by the binding energy from the docking results. Quercetin has activity as a skin whitening agent with in silico test with molecular mechanisms through inhibition of the activity of tyrosinase-related protein 1 enzyme.  Keywords: skin whitening agent, in silico, quercetin, tyrosinase-related protein 1

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that occur by inflammation chronic which persist as a permanent symptom. That inflammatory process caused joint destruction. Production of pro-inflammatory sytokin such as Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-?) stimulate an autoimmunity. Active TNF-? plays a role in the occurrence of chronic inflammation, in which the formation of active TNF-? is regulated by TNF-? Converting Enzyme (TACE). Brazilin and brazilein are known to have anti-inflammatory activity and immunommodulator potentially as anti-rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this study were to determine the affinity and mechanisms of brazilin and brazilein against TACE proteins as anti-rheumatoid arthritis perfomed using molecular docking method. The study was conducted exploratively with several steps such as databases preparation of 3D structures brazilin, brazilein, TACE protein, optimization of brazilin and brazilein 3D structures, protein preparation, molecular docking method validation, and docking brazilin and brazilein in these proteins. The docking results are assessed from the binding energy and hydrogen bonds formed between brazilin and brazilein in proteins. The smaller value to the binding energy, will made the bond between brazilin and brazilein with proteins will be stronger and more stable. The results showed that brazilin and brazilein have activities as anti-rheumatoid arthritis because they are able to inhibit TACE proteins with respective bond energy values -7,24 for brazilin and – 7,59 kcal/mol for brazilein. These results show that brazilin and brazilein have the potential to inhibit inflammatory process and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. Keywords : brazilin, brazilein, in silico, rheumatoid arthritis

Hyperpigmentation is caused by enhancement of melanin production that causes skin darkening. Purple sweet potato is one of the plants that is potentially developed as skin depigmentation agent because it contains anthocyanin. The most common types of anthocyanins in purple sweet potato are cyanidin and peonidin which are in vitro proven to be used as skin lightening. The objective of this study is to determine the potential of cyanidin and peonidin as skin depigmentation agent against target protein D-Dopachrome taumerase  through in silico molecular docking method. The research steps include the preparation of target protein using Chimera 1.10.1 program, optimization of cyanidine and peonidin 3D structures using Hyperchem 8 program, validation of molecular docking method, and docking of cyanidine and peonidine on target protein using Autodock 4.2 program. The bond energy between cyanidin and peonidin with the target protein D-Dopachrome taumerase are -7.75 kcal / mol and -8.38 kcal / mol. The cyanidin and peonidin bond values ??are smaller than the native ligand, suggesting that the bond between the test compound (cyanidin and peonidin) with the target protein are stronger and more stable than the native ligand, so that the affinity of the test compound was greater than the native ligand. This suggests that the cyanidin and peonidin compounds in purple sweet potato have potential as a depigmentation agent by inhibiting D-Dopachrome taumerase protein.

Darkening of the skin results from excessive production of melanin in the skin caused by an increase in tyrosinase related protein 1 enzyme activity. Catechins are flavonoid compounds which contain antioxidants. This study aims to determine the affinity and mechanism of catechins as skin lightening agents by inhibiting tyrosinase related protein 1 target proteins in silico using molecular docking methods. The study was carried out exploratively with the stages of preparing a database of 3D structures of catechins and tyrosinase related protein 1, optimization of 3D structure of catechins, protein preparation, validation of molecular docking methods, and docking of catechins in tyrosinase related protein 1. Docking results are assessed from the bonding energy and hydrogen bonds formed between catechins and proteins. The smaller the bond energy value, the stronger the bond between the catechins and proteins. The results showed that catechins had activity as skin lightening agents because they were able to inhibit the tyrosinase related protein 1 with a bond energy value of -6,35 Kcal/mol. The energy value of the catechin bond with the tyrosinase related protein 1 is smaller than the tyrosinase related protein 1 with its native ligand. This shows that catechins have greater potential and affinity in inhibiting the tyrosinase related protein 1 enzyme with hydrogen bonds on amino acid residues, namely ARG374. Based on the results obtained, catechins have activity as skin lightening agents with the mechanism of inhibiting the tyrosinase related protein 1 enzyme so that the amount of eumelanin formed is less and the skin becomes brighter. Key words: catechins, skin lightening, tyrosinase related protein 1, in silico, molecular docking

Objective: This study aims to evaluate novel compounds of isothiocyanate (ITC) based on eugenol and cinnamaldehyde derivatives as the drug candidate of Plasmodium falciparum anti-malaria using in silico method, physicochemical, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and synthetic accessibility prediction. This present study also describes molecular docking and pharmacoinformatics of natural ITC in Moringa oleifera leaves. Methods: A series of novel ITC compounds (3, 5, and 6) were designed and analyzed with a series of natural ITC compounds (7, 8, 9, 10) for P. falciparum anti-malaria. This research is descriptive qualitative and uses the reverse molecular docking method, proving the biological activity of compounds theoretically using software and database information. Results: Molecular docking study showed that compound 6 exhibits binding affinity (-5.3 Kcal/mol) on Van der Waals interaction with the residual active site (His159, Cys25) of cysteine protease. All designed ITC compounds are obeyed the Lipinski and Veber Rule, have a well-brain penetrant character and have a medium risk for mutagenic, tumorigenic, and reproductive prediction. They are also in the simple rate of synthetic accessibility (SA) estimation. In regards to natural ITCs, they all have better assay characteristics except the SA. Conclusion: Molecular docking, physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicity studies show that methyl eugenol isothiocyanate and cinnamaldehyde isothiocyanate are promising anti-malaria compounds. Substituents of hydroxy, acetate and tetrahydropyran groups in the building block ring are suggested for better in silico profiles enhancement.

Colorectal cancer is a malignant neoplasm originating from the colon or rectum. Overexpression of leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) increases the growth of HCT116 colon cancer cells, therefore, this enzyme becomes an attractive target for commercial drug bestatin. Meanwhile, quercetin is a member of flavonoids possessing a wide variety of anticancer. This study aimed to determine the potential of quercetin as anti-colorectal cancer by inhibiting LTA4H through in silico molecular docking. The docking process involved optimizing quercetin structure, preparing LTA4H protein (PDB ID: 3U9W), validating the molecular docking method, and docking quercetin and bestatin on LTA4H. The binding energy of quercetin to LTA4H was -9.57 kcal/mol, while 28P native ligand and bestatin yielded -10.22 kcal/mol and -9.10 kcal/mol, respectively. Based on the binding energy value, quercetin has a potential inhibitory against the LTA4H.

Background: Infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes cellular dysplasia, which leads to cervical cancers in women and penile or rectal cancers in men.        Objective: This in silico study identified the plant compounds with potential therapeutic effects against HPV 18 oncogenic virus using the molecular docking method.   Methods: The three-dimensional (3D) structure of HPV18 E6 protein, as the target protein, and the 3D structure of plant compounds with potential therapeutic effect against viruses, as ligands, was obtained from the protein databases (RCSB) and PubChem, respectively. Both structures of ligands and target protein were subjected to AutoDock tools-1.5.6, ver.4 separately. The structure with the most negative affinity was docked to reconsider its connection location. The results were analyzed more based on pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters.     Results: The docking of HPV18 E6 protein with 19 selected ligands resulted in four compounds, curcumin, silymarin, saikosaponin c, and lactupicrin, showing the best docking scores; they had better binding free energies with HPV E6 protein. Among four compounds against HPV18 E6, silymarin and curcumin were less dangerous than other compounds due to the lack of inhibition of the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene (hERG). Of these two compounds, silymarin had lower oral absorption, lactopicrin had less skin absorption, lactopicrin is the substrate of P-gp, and saikosaponin c crosses the blood-brain barrier.   Conclusion: Among potential antiviral plants against HPV18E6, four compounds were found to be effective. According to these findings, it is recommended that in vitro and in vivo examinations be conducted to determine the effectiveness of these compounds against HPV18  Keywords: Biological products, Antiviral agents, HPV18, Molecular docking, Computational biology, E6 protein

In silico studies on interactions between the human pancreatic α-amylase (HPA) enzyme with α, β, and γ-mangostin ligands has been carried out using the molecular docking method. Ligands α, β, and γ-mangostin interact through the formation of hydrogen and van der waals bonds with residues on the enzyme active side. The α-mangostin ligands form seven hydrogen and six van der waals bonds with residues involved were Trp59, Gln63, Trp96, Thr163, Thr164, Ala198, His201, Glu233, and Asp300; β-mangostin forms five hydrogen and eight van der waals bonds with residues involved were Gln63, Trp96, Thr163, Thr164, Arg195, Asp197, His201, Glu233, Asp300, and His305; while γ-mangostin forms nine hydrogen and five van der waals bonds with residues involved were Trp59, Gln63, Trp96, Thr163, Asp197, Ala198, His201, Glu233, and Asp300. The binding afinity of α, β, and γ-mangostin to the HPA obtained were -7.0; -6.6; and -7.4 kcal/mol with RMSD value were 1,850; 1,956; and 1,811 Å, respectively. The number of hydrogen bonds that can be formed was responsible to the binding affinity. Ligand γ-mangostin has potential activity as an inhibitor of HPA enzyme due to the stable complexes formation with lower binding affinity (validated with RMSD value) when compared to α and β-mangostin.
