Mikania Glomerata

Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar os principais compostos que expliquem a atividade broncodilatadora da Mikania glomerata Spreng, empregando ferramentas in silico. Os metabólitos do guaco foram levantados bibliograficamente e a codificação das moléculas para a realização das predições foi obtida no site Pubchem. Realizou-se então triagem de bioatividade com os programas SwissADME, ProToxII, PASS e Molinspiration e pesquisa de alvos, com os servidores SuperPred Webserver. Após a identificação do alvo, a estrutura selecionada foi obtida pelo site Protein Data Bank (PDB) para o docking molecular com o programa GOLD. Os metabólitos da Mikania glomerata Spreng tiveram suas propriedades físico-químicas e biológicas analisadas. Os alvos para o docking molecular foram identificados e verificados para cada composto, com suas respectivas estruturas cristalografadas no Protein Data Bank (PDB). A molécula de cumarina foi selecionada pois apresentou predição de interação com o receptor muscarínico M3 (ID: 4DAJ). O docking revelou interação da cumarina com o receptor M3, o que poderia auxiliar na explicação para os efeitos broncodilatadores desta espécie vegetal. O estudo in silico do guaco, abordado neste trabalho, elegeu a cumarina como principal metabólito ativo com possível atividade broncodilatadora presente na Mikania glomerata Spreng. O docking da cumarina mostrou ancoragem desta molécula no sítio ativo do receptor muscarínico M3 devido as atividades desta espécie, assim, este marcador poderia atuar como antagonista desse receptor, apresentando possível atividade parassimpatolítica e, portanto, broncodilatadora.

Objective: The present research was aimed to understand the molecular docking efficiency of a plant-derived compound cleistanthin-A and a common ingredient in tobacco consumption nicotine with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR).Methods: The 3-D structure of nAChR was retrieved from the protein data bank (ID 5AFH). Ligand was obtained from the PUBCHEM. The in silico protocol comprised of three steps: high-throughput virtual screening (HTVS), standard preci­sion (SP) and extra precision (XP). The screened molecules were ranked accordingly using glide score. Schrödinger tool was used to perform the docking analysis.Results: The binding efficiency of the nicotine and cleistanthin-A was found to be docked at the cys-cys loop of the receptor. Based upon the glide score and glide energy it can be reported that, nicotine binding can be inhibited by the binding of cleistanthin-A to the nAChR.Conclusion: The docking efficiency of cleistanthin-A was good compared to nicotine towards nAChR. Hence, cleistanthin–A was derived as a better choice as an alternative for nicotine in smoke therapy.

Diabetes melitus merupakan penyakit yang diderita oleh banyak orang di dunia. Banyak obat sintetik yang tersedia untuk pengobatan diabetes melitus. Namun, ada kebutuhan yang mendesak untuk menghasilkan obat antidiabetes yang lebih baik khususnya dari bahan alam. Literatur menunjukkan bahwa flavonoid merupakan metabolit sekunder dari tumbuhan yang berkhasiat sebagai antidiabetes yang baik. Naringenin merupakan flavonoid dari jeruk yang memiliki aktivitas antidiabetes. Senyawa turunan lipofilik dari flavonoid naringenin yang dalam bentuk ester dapat meningkatkan aktivitas antidiabetes dari senyawa induk. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan aktivitas antidiabetes dari senyawa naringenin dan senyawa ester dari naringenin. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan penambatan secara in siliko dari molekul senyawa uji naringenin, serta turunan ester dari naringenin dengan penambatan secara in siliko terhadap Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK) yang diunduh via Protein Data Bank (PDB) dengan kode protein 1KHB. Selanjutnya dilakukan proses penambatan dengan program PLANTS, dan kemudian dilakukan evaluasi nilai energi ikatan hasil proses penambatan. Proses penambatan kembali molekul ligan asli ke dalam molekul kantung ikatan Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK) diperoleh nilai Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) 0,7670 Å. Penambatan molekul senyawa uji senyawa turunan ester dari naringenin menunjukkan aktivitas yang lebih baik dengan nilai energi ikatan yang lebih rendah bila dibandingkan dengan senyawa induk naringenin. Diabetes mellitus is a disease suffered by many around the world. There are many available synthetic medications for diabetes mellitus treatment. However, there are urgent needs to produce a better anti-diabetic especially from natural sources. Previous studiesindicated that flavonoid is asecondary metabolite from plants which has good anti-diabetic function. Naringenin is a flavonoid from orange which has anti-diabetic activity. The lipophilic derivative compound of naringenin flavonoid in ester form can increase the anti-diabetic activity from the parent compound.

Erwinia Billingiae

Introdução: A principal característica do câncer é o crescimento descontrolado de células neoplásicas, formando tumores. Tecidos tumorais apresentam dependência do aminoácido L-asparagina para se desenvolver, sendo a obtenção desse aminoácido feita do meio extracelular. Alguns medicamentos quimioterápicos hidrolisam a asparagina em amônia e aspartato, eliminando a fonte sérica de asparagina das células tumorais, causando uma apoptose seletiva. Esse efeito é possível pela presença da enzima asparaginase utilizada como princípio ativo dos medicamentos anticancerígenos. Ess molécula é isolada principalmente da bactéria E.coli, porém pacientes têm apresentado efeitos colaterais ao uso de medicamentos que a contem, sendo necessárias novas alternativas farmacológicas. Objetivo: Realizar análise in silico do potencial biotecnológico de asparaginase de Erwinia billingiae, a partir da construção 3D da proteína, identificação do sítio ativo e validação do modelo proposto. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizada uma busca a partir da sequência FASTA da L asparaginase de Erwinia billingiae no Protein Data Bank (PDB), para aquisição de um molde proteíco. Posteriormente foi realizado o alinhamento entre as sequências alvo e molde. Foram construídos cinco modelos proteicos no progama modeller 9v8, e estes foram submetidos à validação através do diagrama de Ramachandran, QMEAN, Prosa e ProQ. Resultados: Foi escolhido o PDB 4O0E para ser utilizado como referência para gerar os candidatos a fármaco, sendo construído diversos modelos, validados e escolhido aquele com melhores resultados. O modelo proposto possui 320 aminoácidos, sendo sua estrutura secundária caracterizada por 11 ẞ-folhas, 8 α-hélices e 20 loops, todos equivalentes às estruturas do modelo de referência (4O0E). Foi observada a presença da tríade catalítica T168, T186 e T219 do modelo de referência em posições equivalentes no modelo construído, sugerindo conservação de sua função. Conclusão: A asparaginase de Erwinia billingiae mantém a tríade catalítica de treoninas conservada sugerindo preservação de sua função proteolítica. Estudos adicionais de acoplamento e dinâmica molecular devem ser realizados para observar se ocorrem interações no complexo enzima-substrato.

Natural products remain a popular alternative treatment for many ailments in various countries. This study aimed to screen for potential mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors from Malaysian natural substance, using the Natural Product Discovery database, and to determine the IC50 of the selected mTOR inhibitors against UMB1949 cell line. The crystallographic structure of the molecular target (mTOR) was obtained from Protein Data Bank, with Protein Data Bank (PDB) ID: 4DRI. Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, was used as a standard compound for the comparative analysis. Computational docking approach was performed, using AutoDock Vina (screening) and AutoDock 4.2.6 (analysis). Based on our analysis, asiaticoside and its derivative, asiatic acid, both from Centella asiatica, revealed optimum-binding affinities with mTOR that were comparable to our standard compound. The effect of asiaticoside and asiatic acid on mTOR inhibition was validated with UMB1949 cell line, and their IC50 values were 300 and 60 µM, respectively, compared to everolimus (29.5 µM). Interestingly, this is the first study of asiaticoside and asiatic acid against tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) disease model by targeting mTOR. These results, coupled with our in silico findings, should prompt further studies, to clarify the mode of action, safety, and efficacy of these compounds as mTOR inhibitors.
