| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to isolate and test its cytotoxic activity starting from extract fraction and its isolate compound, then carried out molecular docking to confirm the potential biological activity of ligands (vocangine, vobtusine, and vobtusine lactone) against inhibition proteins (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1), activation protein Bax and activation of apoptotic execution protein Caspase-3. This research is an experimental quantitative study using column chromatography and HPLC methods in the isolation process, MTT assay in determining the cytotoxic activity, and molecular docking in determining the prediction of apoptotic mechanism. The cytotoxic activity of VFB-DA, VFB-DB, VFB-BuOH, VFB-DB4 fractions, voacangine compounds, vobtusine are very strong. while vobtusine lactone is moderate cytotoxic activity. The docking score for voacangine, vobtusine, and vobtusine lactone compounds against Bcl-2 is -9.93; -10.07; -9.03 kcal/mol, against Bcl-xl is -9.77; -11.69; -9.76 kcal/mol, against Mcl-1 is -10.70; -10.77; -9.53 kcal/mol, and for Bax is -8.99; -6.87; -6.99 kcal/mol, as well as against caspase3 is -12.05; -12.21; -12.02 kcal/mol. The cytotoxic activity of voacangine, vobtusine, and vobtusine lactone compounds is thought to cause cell death by suppressing Bcl-2 activity; Bcl-xl; and Mcl-1, increased Bax activity and increased caspase3 activity.
