{"title":"Study of Glabranin as an Inhibitor Against Prostate Cancer: Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, MM-PBSA Calculation and QSAR Prediction.","authors":"Rene Barbie Browne, Nabajyoti Goswami, Probodh Borah, Jayanti Datta Roy","doi":"10.1007/s12291-023-01134-3","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s12291-023-01134-3","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Prostate cancer is the World's second most frequent malignancy, with the fifth-highest male mortality rate. In advanced prostate cancer patients, point mutations such as T877A and W741L are prevalent, imparting treatment resistance and hence promoting cancer development. The emergence of drug resistance in prostate cancer necessitates the development of suitable ligands to allow for stronger interactions with the receptors, which can inhibit cancer progression. The present study focuses on flavonoids produced by plants, which may act as inhibitors of point mutations like T877A and W741L in prostate cancer. This research was conducted using an in-silico method where the compound Glabranin and its derivatives were virtually screened to identify potential drugs for combating such point mutations. Thirty-five Molecular Dockings were performed to find the ligand-receptor complexes with the lowest binding energy. Moreover, employing a variety of tools, ligands were evaluated for drug-likeness and toxicity, indicating a promising drug candidate. Based on the results of Molecular Docking, Drug-likeness, and ADMET testing, eight structures were subjected to a 100 ns Molecular Dynamics simulation. A QSAR analysis was also performed based on the simulation findings. In this study, it was revealed that GlaMod2 phytocompound was effective against T877A and W741L mutations in prostate cancer. It was observed that the phytocompound was stable and had potential properties for the development of a novel drug to combat prostate cancer and drug resistance This phytocompound may therefore be effective in the development of prostate cancer inhibitors for patients with mutant androgen receptors.</p><p><strong>Graphical abstract: </strong></p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12291-023-01134-3.</p>","PeriodicalId":13280,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry","volume":"262 1","pages":"331-343"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11615236/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82971789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hepatocurative activity of the alkaloids at 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg doses was demonstrated by the assay of both enzymic and non-enzymic parameters. Sections of the liver were also subjected to histological examinations. Mapping techniques and data visualization approaches were adopted in finding relationships between the enzymic and non-enzymic parameters and the treatment groups. The bulk alkaloids caused dose-dependent effects on both the enzymic and non-enzymic parameters. The bulk alkaloids elicited a significant reduction (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in all liver and antioxidant enzymes activities compared with the untreated. The 600 mg/kg dose caused the restoration of the ALP, ALT and AST to 76.16, 10.72 and 11.83 iU/L respectively similar to the standard butylated hydroxytoluene. The 600 mg/kg dose also caused a slight increase in the activities of SOD, catalase and GPx to 11.45. 1.37 and 11.66 iU/L respectively when compared with the untreated rats. In the non-enzymic assays, the 600 mg/kg dose elicited a significant (<i>p</i> < 0.05) upregulation in the total bilirubin (1.18 mg/100 mL), total protein (3.75 g/dL), HDL (1.80 mMol/L) and vitamin C (2.41 mg/dL) and decrease in the CHOL (3.35 g/dL), TAG (1.85 mMol/L), LDL (0.67 mMol/L), BUN (39.55 mg/dL) and MDA (1.13 nMol/mL) when compared with the untreated rats.
