Abstract

Colon cancer refers to the growth of cancerous cells in the colon. This disease occurs due to abnormal and uncontrolled cell growth. Cyclin-dependent kinase is a protein kinase that plays a role in regulating the cell cycle. Abnormal activity of cyclin-dependent kinase is associated with cancer progression and metastasis. Epidemiological studies have shown that regular consumption of flavonoids is beneficial in preventing the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells. The aim of this study was to use flavonoid compounds to inhibit cyclin-dependent kinase in the treatment of colon cancer. In this research, the structure of certain flavonoid derivatives was optimized using quantum calculations. Then, molecular docking of these derivatives with cyclin-dependent kinase enzymes with codes 6GUE and 2A4L was performed using the MOE software, and the results of molecular docking were analyzed. As expected, van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds of these derivatives with the enzyme, particularly with the 6GUE code, played an important role in inhibiting this enzyme.
