The aim of this study was to carry out GC-MS analysis of Catharanthus roseus plant leaves extract to inhibit the non-small cell lung cancer. Catharanthus roseus plant leaves were extracted with methanol and five compounds were identified from GC-MS analysis. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) which is frequently over-expressed and malignant proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The 3D crystal structure of the non-small cell lung cancer responsible protein (ID: 2ITO) were retrieved from the protein data bank (PDB). Discovery studio is a well-known suite of software for molecular docking. It is developed and distributed by Accelrys. The protein ligand docking was performed in flexible docking by Discover Studio. From the GC-MS analysis two compounds 4-piperidineacetic,1-acetyl-5-ethyl-2-[3-[2-hydroxyethyl]-1H-indol-2-yl]-a-methyl-methyl ester and 2H-Pyran,tetrahydro-2-[12-penta decynyloxy], exhibited potential effect against human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) responsible for the non-small cell lung cancer.
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.
