Cancer is estimated to be the second leading cause of death globally in 2018. The background of the study was the prevalence of cancer in Indonesia in 2018 reaching 775.120 people. Treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy have negative side effects. Herbal medicine is an alternative treatment with lower side effects that can reduce the side effects of existing treatments. The aim of this study was to identify the results of GC-MS active compounds from ethanol extract of zodia leaves which have the potential as anticancer. The method of this research was observational research through scientific literature. GC-MS results showed 22 active compounds contained in ethanol extract of zodia leaves. Based on the literature searching, there are 17 active compounds that have potential to be anticancer. Menthofuran; evodone; Bicyclopentene; Delta-Selinene; 3,5,7-Octatrien-2-Ol, 2,6-Dimethyl; Aromadendrene oxide 2; Alpha-bisabolol; 2,4-Dimethyl-2,4-Heptadienal; Phytol; Squalene; Beta-Tocopherol; D-alpha-Tocopherol; Stigmasta-5,23-dien-3.beta.-ol; (23S)-ethylcholest-5-en-3.beta.ol; 24,25-Dihydrolanosterol; Lanosterol; and Obtusifoliol. The compounds are targeted in breast, lung, and ovarian cancer.
Cancer is a disease that is still a global problem which ranked second leading cause of death, amounting to 13% after cardiovascular disease. Cancer of the ovaries arethe second most common group of gynecologic cancers and accounts for about 5% of all women's cancers. Chemotherapy (chemo) is the use of drugs to treat cancer. Chemo can be useful to kill very small amounts of cancer cells that may still be around after surgery, for cancers that have metastasized (spread), or to shrink very large tumors to make surgery easier. Chemo drugs can cause side effects. These side effects usually go away after treatment is finished. Therapeutic herbs and their derivative phytocompounds are being progressively more accepted as useful complementary treatments for cancer. Zodia (Evodia sp) is Indonesian endemic plants containing some active compounds as anticancer there are evodiamine and evodone. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of evodiamine and evodone by in silico method to treat varian cancer. This study uses Autodock, PyRx and LigPlot software with the method used is molecular docking. The docking results showed the effectiveness of the two compounds was assessed from binding affinity on evodiamine of-7 kcal/mol RMSD (Root Mean Square Deviation) of 1.66 Å, while the evodone compound was-5.8 kcal / mol and 2.52 Å. From these results, can be proven that the evodiamine compound has the most effective results as an ovarian anticancer compound in silico.
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.
