Breast cancer, a heterogeneous disease, is among the most frequently diagnosed diseases and is the second leading cause of death due to cancer among women after lung cancer. Phytoactives (plant-based derivatives) and their derivatives are safer than synthetic compounds in combating chemoresistance. In the current work, a template-based design of the coumarin derivative was designed to target the ADP-sugar pyrophosphatase protein. The novel coumarin derivative (2 R )-2-(( S )- sec -butyl)-5-oxo-4-(2-oxochroman-4-yl)-2,5-dihydro-1 H -pyrrol-3-olate was designed. Molecular docking studies provided a docking score of -6.574 kcal/mol and an MM-GBSA value of -29.15 kcal/mol. Molecular dynamics simulation studies were carried out for 500 ns, providing better insights into the interaction. An RMSD change of 2.4 Å proved that there was a stable interaction and that there was no conformational change induced to the receptor. Metadynamics studies were performed to calculate the unbinding energy of the principal compound with NUDT5, which was found to be -75.171 kcal/mol. In vitro validation via a cytotoxicity assay (MTT assay) of the principal compound was carried out with quercetin as a positive control in the MCF7 cell line and with an IC 50 value of 55.57 (+/-) 0.7 μg/mL. This work promoted the research of novel natural derivatives to discover their anticancer activity. |
