In silico study of fucoxanthin as a tumor cytotoxic agent

Abstract: Background:Fucoxanthin is a potential tumor cytotoxic compound. However, mechanisms underlying the activities are unclear.Aim:This in silico study aimed to predict the main mechanism of fucoxanthin; whether with its binding to p53 gene, CDK2, or tubulin.Materials and Methods:In silico was studied by using Autodock-Vina's algorithms. The mechanisms being analyzed by comparison of fucoxanthin and native ligands binding energies in p53 gene (1RV1), CDK2 (1AQ1), and three binding sites of tubulin (1JFF-paclitaxel,… Show more

“…; Januar et al. ; Wijesinghe and Jeon ). The present study was therefore carried out to estimate the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of methanolic (M), chloroform (C), ethyl acetate (E) and aqueous (A) extracts of four seaweeds belonging to the phyla: Ochrophyta (brown) – Turbinaria ornata and Rhodophyta – (red) – Kappaphycus alvarezii, Acanthophora spicifera and Gracilaria corticata , collected from the Mandapam coast of Tamil Nadu, India.…”

“…Transcriptional p53 induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G 0 /G 1 phase on cancer cells. Fucoxanthin has been reported to regulate the p53 expression level by cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in several human cancer cell lines [27]. Thus, it is speculated that fucoxanthin might induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells, providing a potential new candidate of therapy drugs for the treatment of human bladder cancer.…”

“…Afolayan, Bolton, Lategan, Smith & Beukes (2008) juga menduga ada hubungan antara ikatan alenik dengan sif at antiplasmodial pada fukosantin. Hasil analisis secara in silico memperlihatkan bahwa gugus karboksil pada fukosantin membentuk ikatan hidrogen dengan tubulin pada sel yang berakibat pada depolimerasasi mikrotubulin dan penghambatan siklus sel (Januar, Dewi,Marraskuranto & Wikanta, 2012 …”
