Perezone had been used for centuries in the traditional Mexican medicine, it is useful and a handful of illness. Perezone and other derivatives also present activity against certain lines of cancer, such as the myeloblastoid leukemia cell line K-562 and carcinoma cell lines (PC-3 and SKLU-1) with IC50 <10μM. Perezone and isoperezone have shown the major cytotoxic potency. Characterization of perezone was carried out by UV–Visible, IR, DSC, TGA and powder X-ray diffraction, as well as docking studies using caspase-3 structures as receptors. Theoretical studies for optimizing the geometry of perezone were carried out and the results compared with values of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The experimental values of atomic distances, angles and dihedral angles are in good agreement with the theoretical values. Interaction of perezone with the cysteine catalytic site with the caspase-3 was found in the docking studies. A docking study of perezone, with horminone, thymoquinone and isoperezone as ligands and the protein apoptein, caspase-3 as receptor, was carried to demonstrate that the hindrance steric factor, chemical structure and the functional groups are important in the biological activity of these natural products. The docking score energetic values are in good agreement with the experimental cytotoxic results obtained from the experiments when perezone and analogues were studied in different types of cancer. |
