ABSTRACT:

The anticancer activity of secondary metabolites identified from the medicinal plant Plumbago zeylanica was studied using In silico analysis to interpret the inhibitory activity of Matrix metalloproteinases (PDB ID: 3C7X). Polymorphism in Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been linked to different neoplaplasias, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Docking effect of the 14 secondary metabolites identified from Plumbago zeylanica with receptors was explored. Among the 14 secondary metabolites studied, five of them (Tetradecanal, Sulfurous acid 2-ethylhexyl isohexyl ester, 7, 9 -Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro(4, 5)deca, 1-Fluorononane, Nonadecanol) bind to protein receptors effectively. This was proved by computational modeling based on highest docking score and hydrogen bond interaction.

 

KEYWORDS: Tetradecanal, Sulfurous acid 2-ethylhexyl iso hexyl ester, 7, 9 -Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro (4, 5) deca, 1-Fluorononane, Nonadecanol, OSCC and metalloproteinases.

 

 


INTRODUCTION:

Use of medicinal plants in allopathy and herbal medicine is in great demand due to increased success in validating the safety and efficacy of herbal remedies, the interest shown by drug companies in isolating useful compounds from plants; search for new drugs for treatment of serious and drug-resistant diseases; marketing strategies by the companies dealing in herbal medicine.

 

Plumbago zeylanica is one of the important medicinal plant in China and other Asian countries used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, dysmenorrhea and contusion of extremities1. The phytochemical screening of Plumbago zeylanica confirmed the existence of various bioactive compounds such as linoleic acid, palmitic acid, plumbagin, nonylnonanoate, lupeol acetate, stigmasterol acetate, lupanone, friedelinol stigmasterol, sitosterone.

 

Plumbagin is a stable naphtha quinine, which exhibit anticancer2,3, Insecticidal and antimutagenic activity4, antifertile5, antimicrobial activity6 and leishmanicidal activity7.

 

Aberrant activation of intracellular signaling pathways induces malignant properties of a healthy cells in humans. Gene expression profiling and the differentially expressed genes were targeted for therapeutic purposes8. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the widespread malignant cancer in the oral cavity9. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were a group of enzymes, which are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix protein during the time of organogenesis, growth and normal tissue replacement. Polymorphic property of proteinases is one of the main highlights OSCC. The activity of MMPs in adult tissues is quite low, but its activity is increased in several pathological conditions such as inflammatory diseases, tumor growth and metastasis10. MMPs is major enzymes that play a role in extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and are called as matrixins. There are 23 MMPs enzymes in humans. In normal steady state tissues the activity of MMPs is low or negligible. Their expression is controlled by cytokines, growth factors, hormones, cell –cell and cell – matrix interaction11. MMPs are also regulated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).

 

Balance between MMPs and TIMPs are required for the extracellular matrix remodeling. Large number of MMPs inhibitors were designed and synthesized and were clinically tested for the treatment cancer or arthritis, which showed little efficacy so far. Hence a study was undertaken to explore the secondary metabolites (Nonane 5-(2-methylpropyl ), Tetradecanal, Sulfurous acid 2-ethylhexyl isohexyl ester, Undecane 3, 8-dimethyl, Hydrazine tetra phenyl, Nonane 3, 7-dimethyl, Nonane 5-methyl-5-propyl, Hexadecane 1-iodo, 7, 9-Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro(4, 5)deca, Undecane 2, 9-dimethyl, Heptadecane 2, 6, 10, 15-tetramethyl, 1-Fluorononane, Bromo dodecane and Nonadecanol) from medicinal plant Plumbago zeylanica and evaluate its anticancer activity by inhibiting MMPs. Mutation in MMp gene causes oral cancer. This computational modelling proved the effect of phytochemical from Plumbago zeylanica against oral cancer target protein Hemopexin (HPX) -3c7x. Docking results of 14 bioactive compounds tested showed, only five secondary metabolites effectively bind with receptor and inhibit the protein action.

Preparation of protein receptor:

The X-ray crystallographic structure of MMPs was found from protein data bank (PDB). The hemopexin domain of protein matrix metalloproteinases (PDB ID: 3C7X)12, consists of 196 amino acid and its structural resolution in 1.70 A0 was analyzed by the X-Ray diffraction method. The characterization of structure was analyzed by Ramachandran plot technique13. The required hydrogen bond was added to prepare target by applying CHARMforcefield14 and the docking study was carried out by discovery studio based on Ligand fit module15 for all secondary metabolites and doxycycline.

 

RESULTS:

Binding site specification and molecular are docking:

A binding site in the target was identified by mapping the grid points in them. Among the three binding sites, site 1 is the largest with 462 points and 57.750 A0 in size, site 2 is with 188 points and 23.500 A0 in size followed by the smallest site 3 of 120 points and 15.000 A0 in size. The molecular docking study revealed the possible conformation by the interaction of the ligand with the binding site of the target protein. Interaction between ligand with the target was calculated depending on the different binding scores which are represented in table: 2.

DISCUSSION:

MMP accumulates in low level in normal cells and are involved in remodeling of connective tissue. In pathological conditions, the level of MMPs dysfunction leads to initiate the connective tissue destruction. High level of MMPs production is related to diseases such as tumor invasion/metastasis, atherosclerosis, periodontitis and arthritis16,17,18. The research involved in exploring MMPs inhibitors are on rise and lead to the discovery of drugs such as Batimastat, Marimastat, Prinomastat, CGS27023A, Tanomastat and Doxycycline. Among these, the use of doxycycline for treatment of ovarian cancer is under clinical trials19, whereas clinical trials were stopped for the rest due to their toxicity. Insilico study conducted by us proved that Tetradecanal, Sulfurous acid 2-ethylhexyl isohexyl ester, 7, 9 -Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro(4, 5)deca, 1-Fluorononane and Nonadecanol have high docking score compared to doxycycline. Among the fourteen secondary metabolites studied, Tetradecanal-31291, Sulfurous acid 2-ethylhexyl isohexyl ester-6420722, 7, 9 -Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro (4, 5) deca-545303, 1-Fluorononane-10029 and Nonadecaneol-80281 possess efficient interaction with receptor based on high docking score and hydrogen bonding interaction. Hence it is evident that these compounds can outperform the efficacy of doxycycline in inhibiting MMPs.

 

CONCLUSION:

Discovery of new drugs is laborious, time consuming and expensive. With the help of newer applications like Insilco approaches, disadvantages can be minimized. Insilico study based drug design and development has contributed significantly to the modern pharmacology. Thus the high docking score and hydrogen bond interaction obtained for five secondary metabolites from P. zeylanica i.e. Tetradecanal - 31291 which possess one hydrogen bond, Sulfurous acid 2-ethylhexyl isohexyl ester - 6420722 which possess ten hydrogen bonds, 7, 9 -Di-tert-butyl-1-oxaspiro(4, 5)deca- 545303 which possess six hydrogen bonds, 1-Fluorononane – 10029 which possess one hydrogen bond, Nonadecaneol-80281which possess four hydrogen bonds, conclude that they can serve as better MMPs inhibitors. MMPs inhibiting compounds (31291, 6420722, 545303, 10029 and 8028) extracted from Plumbago zeylanica need to be experimentally validated.
