Structure Based docking studies towards exploring potential anti-androgen activity of selected phytochemicals against Prostate Cancer

Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common malignancy amongst men worldwide. Under PCa maintenance therapy drugs acting as antagonists/partial agonists of hormone receptors against the prostate tissue are used in clinical practices. Prominent drugs being Cyproterone acetate, Flutamide,...

Our focus has been on phytochemicals which do not exhibit any cytotoxicity and have significant androgen receptor (AR) inhibition activity. As Protein- Ligand interactions play a key role in structure based drug design, so by using molecular docking, we screened 803 phytochemicals and investigated their binding affinity against AR. The three dimensional (3D) structure of AR was retrieved from Protein Data Bank, and docked with 3D Pubchem structures of 803 phytochemicals using Argus Lab. Molecular docking and drug likeness studies were made using ADMET properties while Lipinski’s rule of five was performed for the phytochemicals to evaluate their anti-prostate cancer activity. The results showed that Isobavachin exhibited best binding affinity of −13.73 kcal/mol with AR followed by Glabranin, Anthocyanin and Eriosemation. Our studies therefore reveal that these four phytochemicals could be promising candidates for further evaluation for PCa prevention or management.Anshika N. SinghMeghna M.
