Abstract

Abstract: Dyslipidemia is a degenerative disease occurred with increased levels of fat and cholesterol levels in blood. One of the proteins used as anti-cholesterol is an HMG-CoA-Reductase. Hesperidin in orange peel can reduce cholesterol levels by interacting with HMG-CoA-Reductase. To prove this, an in silico method was used by using swissdock.ch (http://swissdock.ch/docking#). The receptor protein in dyslipidemia was obtained from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (https://www.rcsb.org) namely HMG-CoA-reductase receptor with code PDB: 1HW9. The natural ligand, hesperidin, was obtained from PubChem with code: 10621 (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). Protein was prepared by omitting the natural ligand residues present in the protein. Ligand and protein preparations were used by the chimera 1.15. The result of this study indicated that the interaction of hesperidin with several amino acid recidues was predicted to provide inhibitory activity on HMG-CoA reductase as the protein target. Inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase will reduce mevalonate synthesis so that cholesterol levels will decrease.  Keywords: hesperidin, HMG-CoA-Reductase, cholesterol, dyslhahipidemia

Abstract

Pesticide active ingredients have widespread toxicity effects on target and non-target organisms. Continuous exposure to pesticides causes cancer. Kelakai is thought to have potential cytotoxic activity against the growth of cancer cells. The aim of this research is to examine the potential activity of chemical compounds on Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) proteins exposed to organophosphate pesticides in silico. Protein and ligand preparation with the Chimera program, Docking using SwissDock, as well as virtual screening using the pkCSM web and ProTox. Ethion and neophytadiene have the most negative ∆G values of -8.62 kcal/mol and -8.39 kcal/mol, respectively. The binding site for ethion and neophytadiene compounds with the ALK protein is right at the active site of the ALK protein. Ethion is the most toxic organophosphate pesticide and has the potential to be cytogenic. Neophytadiene from kelakai compounds has the potential to act as a competitor in inhibiting the ALK protein. The similarity in the type and number of binding residues in ethion and neophytadiene in the ALK protein indicates competition between ethion and neophytadiene.
