Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), an extracellular matrix remodulating protein's increased activity causes cancer-metastasis. Potential MMP2 inhibitors showed sever side-effects in clinical trials. Present study is focused on identification natural MMP2 inhibitor by applying molecular docking, MM-GBSA binding energy estimation and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Commercially available flavonoid compound library was used to screen the molecules potentially binding with catalytic domain of MMP2 protein compared to standard MMP2 inhibitor ARP100. Naringin dihydrochalcone (NDC) showed interaction with the important residues (His120, Leu82 and Val117) present at the MMP2 catalytic domain in comparison to known inhibitor ARP100 (dock score ≈ -13 and -8 kcal/mole respectively). Lower ligand-protein binding energy (-67.31 kcal/mole) obtained in MM-GBSA and the MD simulation trajectory analysis showed significant stable and energetically favourable binding of NDC at the catalytic site of MMP2. In conclusion, anti-metastatic potential of NDC should be validated in in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Abstract
COVID-19 caused by a positive-sense single stranded RNA virus named as severe acute respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) triggered the global pandemic. This virus has infected about 10.37 Crores and taken lives of 2.24 Crores people of 213 countries to date. To cope-up this emergency clinical trials are undergoing with some existing drugs like remdesivir, flavipiravir, lopinavir-ritonavir, nafamostat, doxycycline, hydroxy-chloroquine, dexamethasone, etc., despite their severe toxicity and health hazards among diabetics, hypertensive, cardiac patients or normal individuals. The lack of safe and approved treatment for COVID-19 has forced the scientific community to find novel and safe compounds with potential efficacy. This study evaluates a few selective herbal compounds like glucoraphanin, vitexin, niazinin, etc., as a potential inhibitor of the spike protein and 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) or main protease (Mpro) of SARS-COV-2 through in-silico virtual studies such as molecular docking, target analysis, toxicity prediction and ADME prediction and supported by a Molecular-Dynamic simulation. Selective phytocompounds were docked successfully in the binding site of spike glycoprotein and 3CLpro (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2. In-silico approaches also predict this molecule to have good solubility, pharmacodynamic property and target accuracy through MD simulation and ADME studies. These hit molecules niazinin, vitexin, glucoraphanin also obey Lipinski's rule along with their stable binding towards target protein of the virus, which makes them suitable for further biochemical and cell-based assays followed by clinical investigations to highlight their potential use in COVID-19 treatment.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Background:
Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) participates in the degradation of different
types of collagens in the extracellular matrix and basement membrane. Up-regulation of the
MMP-8 has been demonstrated in many disorders including cancer development, tooth caries, periodontal/
peri-implant soft and hard tissue degeneration, and acute/chronic inflammation. Therefore,
MMP-8 has become an encouraging target for therapeutic procedures for scientists. We carried out a
molecular docking approach to study the binding affinity of 29 flavonoids, as drug candidates, with
the MMP-8. Pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of the compounds were also studied.
Moreover, it was attempted to identify the most important amino acids participating in ligand binding
based on the degree of each of the amino acids in the ligand-amino acid interaction network for
MMP-8.
Methods:
Three-dimensional structure of the protein was gained from the RCSB database (PDB ID: 4QKZ).
AutoDock version 4.0 and Cytoscape 3.7.2 were used for molecular docking and network analysis,
respectively. Notably, the inhibitor of the protein in the crystalline structure of the 4QKZ was considered
as a control test. Pharmacokinetic and toxicological features of compounds were predicted
using bioinformatics web tools. Post-docking analyses were performed using BIOVIA Discovery
Studio Visualizer version 19.1.0.18287.
Results and Discussions:
According to results, 24 of the studied compounds were considered to be
top potential inhibitors for MMP-8 based on their salient estimated free energy of binding and inhibition
constant as compared with the control test: Apigenin-7-glucoside, nicotiflorin, luteolin,
glabridin, taxifolin, apigenin, licochalcone A, quercetin, isorhamnetin, myricetin, herbacetin,
kaemferol, epicatechin, chrysin, amentoflavone, rutin, orientin, epiafzelechin, quercetin-3-
rhamnoside, formononetin, isoliquiritigenin, vitexin, catechine, and isoquercitrin. Moreover, His-
197 was found to be the most important amino acid involved in the ligand binding for the enzyme.
Conclusion:
The results of the current study could be used in the prevention and therapeutic procedures
of a number of disorders such as cancer progression and invasion, oral diseases, and
acute/chronic inflammation. Although, in vitro and in vivo tests are inevitable in the future.

Water extract of Clinacanthus nutans leaves exhibits in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo anti-angiogenic activities in endothelial cell via suppression of cell proliferation. BMC COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2018; 18:210. [PMID: 29980198 PMCID: PMC6035421 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-018-2270-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2018] [Accepted: 06/25/2018] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinacanthus nutans (Burm. f.) Lindau. has traditionally been using in South East Asia countries to manage cancer. However, scientific evidence is generally lacking to support this traditional claim. This study aims to investigate the in vitro, ex-vivo and in vivo effects of C. nutans extracts on angiogenesis. METHODS C. nutans leaves was extracted with 50-100% ethanol or deionised water at 1% (w/v). Human umbilical veins endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation was examined using MTT assay. The in vitro anti-angiogenic effects of C. nutans were assessed using wound scratch, tube formation and transwell migration assays. The VEGF levels secreted by human oral squamous cell carcinoma (HSC-4) cell and HUVEC permeability were also measured. Besides, the rat aortic ring and chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays, representing ex vivo and in vivo models, respectively, were performed. RESULTS The MTT assay revealed that water extract of C. nutans leaves exhibited the highest activity, compared to the ethanol extracts. Therefore, the water extract was chosen for subsequent experiments. C. nutans leaf extract significantly suppressed endothelial cell proliferation and migration in both absence and presence of VEGF. However, the water extract failed to suppress HUVEC transmigration, differentiation and permeability. C. nutans water extract also did not suppress HSC-4 cell-induced VEGF production. Importantly, C. nutans water extract significantly abolished the sprouting of vessels in aortic rings as well as in chick embryo CAM. CONCLUSION In conclusion, these findings reveal potential anti-angiogenic effects of C. nutans, providing new evidence for its potential application as an anti-angiogenic agent.
