Persicaria strigosa is an important medicinal plant having several ethnomedicinal values. The present study investigates the phytochemical contents, antiproliferative, and apoptosis-inducing properties of P. strigosa. The phytocompounds were identified by the GC-MS technique. Antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing properties were conducted in DL cells. In-silico molecular docking, drug-likeness, and ADMET was carried out to study the binding affinity and drug-likeness of the compounds. The study revealed a dose-dependent antiproliferative activity of P. strigosa. Ethyl acetate extract showed the strongest activity compared to other extracts. Plant extract-treated cells showed morphological features of apoptotic cells. GC-MS analysis identified 12 compounds from the ethyl acetate extract. Compound C2, C5, C6, C7, and C12 showed the best binding affinity with the anti-apoptotic proteins. The phytocompounds were predicted to possess drug-likeness property and a good ADMET profile. The findings, thus, suggest that the Persicaria strigosa extract could be a potential source of anticancer agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
