Abstract
Prostate cancer remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches. Androgen receptor (AR) signaling plays a critical role in prostate cancer progression and is a primary target for therapy. This study investigates the potential of phytochemicals from Capsicum annuum (Bell pepper) along with two common standand drugs (Apalutamide and Enzalutamide) as inhibitors of the human androgen receptor (AR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Utilizing computer-aided drug design techniques, molecular docking studies were conducted to evaluate the binding affinities of selected ligands against AR (PDB ID: 1XOW) and PSMA (PDB ID: 2XEI), their ADMET properties, drug-likeness, oral bioavailability, and bioactivity profiles were also examined. Coumaroylquinic acid and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl-ester emerged as top-performing ligands, demonstrating strong binding affinities of −9.4 kcal/mol and −9.2 kcal/mol, respectively, against PSMA. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations provided insights into the stability of protein-ligand complexes, with Coumaroylquinic acid exhibiting a stable binding conformation throughout the simulation. These findings suggest the potential of C. annuum phytochemicals, particularly Coumaroylquinic acid and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl-ester, as promising inhibitors of PSMA. Moreover, other ligands (Caffeoylglucoside and 1-O-galloyl-beta-d-glucose) identified in the study demonstrate interactions with AR, highlighting a multifaceted approach to prostate cancer treatment. Overall, this study underscores the potential of C. annuum phytochemicals as a source of novel therapeutic agents for prostate cancer, laying the groundwork for further lead optimization efforts.
