Özet

Background: The aim of the study was in-silico drug-likeness analysis, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties, and molecular docking studies of anthocyanins as natural anticancer compounds against acting receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) receptor. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays an essential role in various cellular processes. Increased expression of TGF-β and its receptor TGFβR-I (i.e. ALK5) have been associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients.

Methods: The drug-likeness activity of anthocyanins was performed using SwissADME tool. Molecular docking studies were carried out by using the Autodock Vina 1.5.6 tool.

Results: The results revealed that cyanidin-3-arabinoside (C3A), pelargonidin-3-glucoside (P3G), and peonidin-3-arabinoside (P3A) were able to use both Lipinski's rule of five and Ghose variations. The binding energies of C3A, P3G, and P3A against ALK5 were found as -8.0, -8.3, and -8.4 kcal mol-1, respectively.

Conclusion: These selected anthocyanins have shown higher binding energies than known inhibitors to the ALK5 receptor. Further in-vitro and in-vivo studies were strongly recommended to clarify the whole mechanism.
