Using molecular docking to investigate the anti-breast cancer activity of low molecular weight compounds present on wild mushrooms.

چکیده
Mushrooms represent an unlimited source of compounds with anti-tumour and immunostimulating properties, and their intake has been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer. A large number of low molecular weight (LMW) compounds present in mushrooms have been identified, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, tocopherols, carotenoids, sugars and fatty acids. In order to evaluate which wild mushroom LMW compounds may be involved in anti-breast cancer activity we selected a representative dataset of 43 LMW compounds and performed molecular docking against three known protein targets involved in breast cancer (aromatase, estrone sulfatase and 17β-HSD-1) using AutoDock4 as docking software. The estimated inhibition constants for all LMW compounds were determined, and the potential structure-activity relationships for the compounds with the best estimated inhibition constants are discussed for each compound family. 4-O-caffeoylquinic, naringin and lycopene stand out as the top-ranked potential inhibitors for aromatase, estrone sulfatase and 17β-HSD1, respectively, and the 3-D docked conformations for these compounds are discussed in detail. This information provides several interesting starting points for further development of aromatase, estrone sulfatase and 17β-HSD1 inhibitors.

The comparison of the effect of different inhibitors on aromatase enzyme effective in the breast cancer by molecular docking method
Background: Aromatase is an enzyme that plays an important role in the development of estrogen-positive breast cancer. Estrogens are essential in human and mainly in women because of their role in sexual development and reproduction. Adverse effects of some aromatase inhibitors increase the need to discover new inhibitors with higher selectivity, lower toxicity and improved potency. In this stu...

The expression of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) as a chaperone protein, is increased in response to various stress stimuli such as anticancer chemotherapy. This phenomenon can lead to survive of the cells and causes drug resistance. In this study, a series of methanesulfonamide derivatives as dual Hsp27 and tubulin inhibitors in the treatment of cancer were applied to quantitative structure–act...

Dichloroacetate (DCA) as a small, cheap and available anticancer agent, is a pyruvate mimetic compound that stimulates the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme through inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDHK1-4). DCA turns on programed cell death (apoptosis) which suppressed in tumor cells and therefore inhibits tumor growth. DCA also interferes with the glucose uses of ca...
