Popis: Antibreast cancer activities of 131 phytochemicals from Annona muricata (Soursop) were investigated against human placental aromatase (PDB ID: 3S7S), a prominent target receptor in breast cancer therapy using computer aided-drug design approach. An antibreast cancer drug (tamoxifen) was used for comparison. The result of this work flourishes caffeoquinic acid (−8.4 kcal/mol), roseoside (−8.3 kcal/mol), chlorogenic acid (−8.2 kcal/mol), feruloylglycoside (−8.1 kcal/mol), citroside A (−8.0 kcal/mol), and coreximine (−7.8 kcal/mol), as probable inhibitors of human placental aromatase. This is due to their excellent binding affinities (ΔG), coupled with outstanding druglike, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity profiles, bioavailability and oral-bioavailability properties, and the interactions of important residues with the active pocket of human placental aromatase. All the results obtained were similar to that of the standards tamoxifen (−8.0 kcal/mol) but could be better when optimized. Thus, lead optimization, molecular dynamics, and in vivo investigations are thereby recommended on the identified potent compounds in the quest of developing new therapeutic agents against breast cancer.
