A Review on Analysis of Flavonoid and Isoflavonoids Derivatives as Anticancer Agent using Swiss ADME

Abstract

Cancer, generally characterized by uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells that metastasize to other parts of the body. It is a one of the leading concerned disease that affects the worldwide population. It can originate from almost any organ or tissue and are of various types; leukemia, lung cancer, lymphoma, stomach cancer, cervical cancer. Flavonoids and Isoflavonoids are naturally occurring polyphenolic secondary metabolites that possess numerous medicinal benefits including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antiviral properties. Potential agents derived from flavonoids and isoflavonoids for its anticancer activity have been studied. Due to recent technological advancement, the detailed study of any moiety and molecules is possible. A virtual screening of flavonoids was carried out using molecular docking, drug similarity, ADMET prediction, drug likeness, chemical and physicochemical properties to determine its potential anticancer activity with the use of Swiss ADME and Chem Draw software. In this review, analysis of drug likeness properties of flavonoids and isoflavonoids was thoroughly performed. Additionally, structures were examined and observed for better interaction of flavonoids scaffold with receptors. Due to their great stability, flavonoids are strongly recommended as anticancer medicines for various cancer stages.
