Herbs are essential resources for drug discovery. However, numerous challenges stand in front of the scientific community to discover novel drugs from herbs. To explore the validation behind the precious knowledge of traditional medicine, we focused on achieving virtual screening to detect the potential medicines from the herbs.  Five bioactive compounds from known anti-inflammatory medicinal plants were examined through molecular docking against  cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS), using AutoDock 4.2. The docking of selected ligands with COX-2 showed the binding energy varying from -6.15 Kcal/mol to ‑11.24 Kcal/mol. The docking energies of identified ligands with iNOS were generated ranges from -3.85kcal/mol to -6.99 kcal/mol.  Among the tested ligands, it was noted that 6 urs-12-en-24-oic acid showed the best binding energy than other compounds with the lowest binding energy and highest binding affinity with both anti-inflammatory target proteins COX-2 and iNOS. The in silico study validates the potential phytochemical compound of the medicinal herb that contribute to anti-inflammatory activity with low toxicity and minimal side effects.

Human Epidermal Receptor-2 (HER-2) overexpression is implicated in breast cancer progression; thus, HER-2 is widely used as the target of anticancer therapy. Lapatinib is a drug widely used to inhibit the HER-2 receptor and tyrosine kinase; however, it develops drug resistance. Lutein is promising to be developed as breast cancer therapy. This study aims to determine the mechanism of inhibition of HER-2 receptor overexpression by lutein in silico. Molecular docking was carried out by optimizing the lutein and lapatinib, preparing of protein target HER-2 (PDB ID 3PP0), validating of molecular docking protocol, and docking of lutein and lapatinib on HER-2. The study resulted in the binding energy of -12.37 kcal/mol, while the binding energy of the native ligand and lapatinib to HER-2 was -10.43 kcal/mol and -12.25 kcal/mol, respectively. The binding energy showed that lutein has potential as breast anticancer suggested from the stronger affinity to HER2.

Inflammatory markers such as cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and prostaglandin (PEG) are widely known as major targets in discovering natural anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of inflammationrelated diseases. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and aspirin are mostly used at present, however, some NSAIDS have been reported to cause gastrointestinal side effect due to ligand-protein interaction. Molecular docking is a promising tool to study such modes of interaction. In this study, we evaluated the potential use of anthocyanin and ternatin flavonoids as natural anti-inflammatory agents for treatment of inflammatory-related diseases using in silico molecular docking assay. Automated docking study using Protein-Ligand ANT System (PLANTS) and AutoDock Vina was performed with various ligand molecules, including ibuprofen, anthocyanin, and ternatin against the protein crystal structures of COX-1, COX-2, iNOS, and MPO. The in silico data demonstrated that ibuprofen bound effectively to the active site of COX-1 and MPO with minimum binding energy, yet the compound required more energy to bind the active site of COX-2. Ternatin flavonoid was bound to COX-2 and iNOS with minimum binding energy. In terms of binding energy, anthocyanin flavonoid was found to be effective for inhibiting COX-1, COX-2, and iNOS. These results suggested that anthocyanin and ternatin flavonoids may potentially be developed as anti-inflammatory drug candidate for the treatment of inflammatory-related diseases.

Objective: In silico design and molecular docking of 1,2-benzisoxazole derivatives for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity using computational methods.Methods: In silico molecular properties of 1,2-benzisoxazole derivatives were predicted using various software’s such as Chemsketch, Molinspiration, PASS and Schrodinger to select compounds having optimum drug-likeness, molecular descriptors resembling those of standard drugs and not violating the ‘Lipinski rule of 5’. Molecular docking was performed on active site of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (PDB: 2KSR) for analgesic activity and COX-2 (PDB: 6COX) for anti-inflammatory activity using Schrodinger under maestro molecular modelling environment.Results: From the results of molecular docking studies of 1,2-benzisoxazole derivatives, all the compounds showed good binding interactions with Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and COX-2. Compounds 4a and 4c showed highest binding scores (-7.46 and-7.21 respectively) with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and exhibited maximum analgesic activity. Compound 4a showed highest binding score (-7.8) with COX-2 and exhibited maximum anti-inflammatory activity.Conclusion: All the derivatives of 1,2-benzisoxazole showed good analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity as predicted using molecular docking on respective receptors.

Background: The inflammatory pathway is induced by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) enzymes, so it requires the development of its inhibitors, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but they have side effects. Therefore, the discovery and development of natural medicine as a lead compound are needed. The gorgonian corals have been reported to contain cyclic diterpenes with anti-inflammatory activities. The specific anti-inflammatory inhibitor potential has not been reported regarding these secondary metabolites, whether in COX-2 or iNOS. Thus, the in silico method is the right alternative. Objective: This study aimed to determine the potency of fifteen terpenes of the various gorgonian corals to COX-2 and iNOS enzymes as an anti-inflammatory Methods: Molecular docking was performed using ChemDraw Ultra 12.0, Chem3D Pro 12.0, Biovia Discovery Studio 2016 Client®, Autodock Tools 4.2, prediction pharmacokinetics (Pre-ADMET), and oral administration (Lipinski rule of five). Results: Potential terpenes based on ΔG (kcal/mol) and Ki (nM) to COX-2 were gyrosanol B (-10,32; 27,15), gyrosanol A (-10,20; 33,57), echinolabdane A (-9,81; 64,76). Only nine terpenes were specific to COX-2 active sites, while for iNOS were palmonine F (-7.76; 2070), briarenol C (-7.55; 2910), and all test compounds binding to the iNOS active sites. Pre-ADMET prediction obtained that HIA was very excellent (70–100%), Caco-2 had moderate permeability (4–70 nm sec-1), and PPB had strong binding (> 90%). Eight terpenes qualified for the Lipinski rule of five. Conclusion: NOS was a specific target for terpenes based on the free energy of binding (ΔG).

The fruits of Spondias mangifera (S. mangifera) have traditionally been used for the management of rheumatism in the northeast region of India. The present study explores the probable anti-arthritis and anti-inflammatory potential of S. mangifera fruit extract’s ethanolic fraction (EtoH-F). To support this study, we first approached the parameters in silico by means of the active constituents of the plant (beta amyrin, beta sitosterol, oleonolic acid and co-crystallised ligands, i.e., SPD-304) via molecular docking on COX-1, COX-2 and TNF-α. Thereafter, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity properties were also determined, and finally experimental activity was performed in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro activities of the plant extract fractions were evaluated by means of parameters like 1,1-Diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), free radical-reducing potential, albumin denaturation, and protease inhibitory activity. The in vivo activity was evaluated using parameters like COX, TNF-α and IL-6 inhibition assay and arthritis score in Freund Adjuvant (CFA) models at a dose of 400 mg/kg b.w. per day of different fractions (hexane, chloroform, alcoholic). The molecular docking assay was performed on COX-1, COX-2 and TNF-α. The results of in vitro studies showed concentration-dependent reduction in albumin denaturation, protease inhibitors and scavenging activity at 500 µg/mL. Administration of the S. mangifera alcoholic fraction at the abovementioned dose resulted in a significant reduction (p < 0.01) in arthritis score, paw diameters, TNF-α, IL-6 as compared to diseased animals. The docking results showed that residues show a critical binding affinity with TNF-α and act as the TNF-α antagonist. The alcoholic fraction of S. mangifera extract possesses beneficial effects on rheumatoid arthritis as well as anti-inflammatory potential, and can further can be used as a possible agent for novel target-based therapies for the management of arthritis.
