In Silico Analysis of Laccifer Lacca as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Cervical, Breast and Lung Cancers

Abstract

Laccifer lacca has generally been used as pigmenting, coloring agent and dying in chemical industry. Although, it has wide range of industrial applications, but inappropriately, due to lesser availability of data, it has been ignored. Keeping in mind, the wide application of Laccifer lacca, we tried to report the in-silico anti-cancer effects. The experimental techniques used to determine the structure was X-RAY diffraction. The reported resolution of this entry is 2.80 Å. Percentile scores (ranging between 0-100) for global authentication metrics of the record. In silico have a good pool to explore various parameters in molecular docking. We have performed in silico analysis of the active components of Laccifer lacca against the cervical, breast and lung cancer proteins and also found that lac extract enhances the production of anti-inflammatory markers and the increase is significant when compared to the standard vinblastine. It has been demonstrated by Lala and colleagues that a short lived molecule nitric oxide can result in the progression of human tumours. Therefore, the prominent antioxidant activity of phytochemical that can act as inhibitors of nitric oxide production can act as anticancer therapeutics. Both methanolic and aqueous extract shows significant anticancer effect on the hela, MCF-7 & A549 cells suggesting them as potential anticancer therapeutics for future.
