Inflammation is a normal protective response to tissue injury and involves various physiological processes in the body. This study used the prostaglandin synthase 2 (PTGS2) receptor or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) which contributes to prostaglandin synthesis and the regulation of inflammation, and its inhibition is associated with a reduced risk for several colon cancer. Perisbivalvin, apioside, and pelargonidin 3-sambubioside are anthocyanin compounds found in magenta plants. This study aimed to obtain a new candidate as an anti-inflammatory agent targeting the PTGS2 receptor before in vivo testing. Molecular docking in silico with PDB code 5IKR was carried out by optimizing 2 and 3 dimensional chemical structures, conducting method validation, and docking between perisbivalvin compounds and the comparison compound mefenamic acid. The docking results showed that perisbivalvin at -7.63 kcal/mol, apioside at -0.77 kcal/mol, and pelargonidine at -5.74 kcal/mol, while the binding energy of the control compound was at -7.52 kcal/mol through hydrogen bonding interactions with amino acids of TYR385A and SER530A. The prediction results showed the experiment compounds compared to the control compounds were classified as class 4 toxicities. Perisbivalvin compounds are potentially anti-inflammatory because they can bind to the PTGS2 protein.
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.
