Therefore, HIF-1 possibly promotes the tumor cell viability in hypoxic circumstances.<sup>5,6<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Hypoxia induces tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and \u00a0the rate of cell apoptosis.<sup>7<\/sup>\u00a0Moreover, HIF-1 is considered as a starting point of angiogenic process in tumor cells by transcription activation of cancer-related gene, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene.<sup>8<\/sup>\u00a0The level of HIF-1\u03b1 escalates the pathological stage which is higher in poorly differentiated lesions than in well-differentiated lesions.<sup>3\u00a0<\/sup>The enhanced levels of HIF-1\u03b1 are strongly related with high proliferation and enhanced ER as well as VEGF expressions.<sup>9<\/sup>\u00a0Therefore, the high level of HIF-1\u03b1 has potency in associating with further massive tumors.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Natural bioactive compounds which are derived from plants have been used for maintaining health and remedies in many years. The phytochemical constituents in plants have been a critical pipeline for the discovery of bioactive substances in pharmaceutical field.<sup>10\u00a0<\/sup><em>A. muricata <\/em>\u00a0or Graviola has been greatly pressumed to have valuable natural products that play important role in affecting anticancer activity.<sup>11\u00a0<\/sup><em>A<\/em>. <em>muricata<\/em> leaves have been used to investigate of numerous numbers of human diseases, including cancers.<sup>10\u00a0<\/sup>The highly constituents screening are most possibly affected by its major bioactive components known as annonaceous Acetogenins (AGEs). <sup>12\u00a0<\/sup>Many studies reported that isolated AGEs from different extracts of the plants have significant antiproliferative effects against various cancer cell lines.<sup>10\u00a0<\/sup>However, some of these studies have defined the staple mechanism of action. Recent in-vitro studies showed inhibition action of ethyl acetate extract from <em>A. muricata <\/em>leaves combating lung cancer cells (A549) and colon cancer cells (HCT-116 and HT-29).<sup>10,13<\/sup>\u00a0The leaf extract was capable of inducing colon carcinoma and lung cancer cells apoptosis by way of mitocondrial route. This antiproliferative effect was associated with cell cycle involved in the G1 phase. Moreover, the migration and invasion of colon cancer cells were significantly halted by the leaf extract.<sup>14-16<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The aim of this research is to determine the inhibition mechanism by bioactive compounds of <em>A. muricata \u00a0<\/em>interact with HIF-1\u03b1. To study the binding interactions of bioactive compounds with HIF-1\u03b1 through molecular docking methods. Computational methodologies have become a crucial component in drug discovery program, which involves identification to lead optimization. Molecular modeling is one of the methodologies primarily used as hit identification tool when only structure of target and its active or binding site are available.<sup>17<\/sup>\u00a0Docking method is an energy-based scoring function which identifies the energetically most favorable ligand conformation that binds to the target.<sup>18<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Protein Structure Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The amino acid sequence of HIF-1\u03b1 (Entry PDB code : 4z1v) was retrieved from RSCB Protein Database.<sup>19<\/sup>\u00a0The attached ligand in the protein structure was removed from the binding site and saved to a new file format: pdbqt.

Some AGEs such as asimin, asiminecin, asiminocin, and asiminacin have shown exceptionally high cytotoxicity for malignancies in three major tissues: breast, lung, and colon. Moreover, in-vivo data have been documented along with the tumor cell types, animal used, route of administration and dosage information. Some AGEs including annonacin, desacetyluvaricin, bullatacin, and bullatalicin have demonstrated significant in-vivo tumor growth inhibitory activities.<sup>24-26<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Medicinal plants play important roles in the development of modern therapeutic agents. This study conclusively demonstrated that <em>A<\/em><em>.<\/em><em> muricata<\/em> was a good natural source of various phytochemical constituents. On the basis of our results, it can be concluded that the annonaceous AGEs were powerful phytochemicals found in <em>A<\/em><em>.<\/em><em> muricata<\/em>, which offers protective effect against cancer. In agreement with the lowest binding energy,\u00a0 annomuricin A, annomuricin B, annomuricin C, annomuricin E, annomutacin, murihexocin A, murihexocin B, murihexocin C and gefitinib were\u00a0 found -6.1, -7.2, -7.1, -7.3, -6.9, -7.9, -6.7, -7.6 and -7.9 kcal\/mol, respectively. Murihexocin A showed similar LBE value with gefitinib. Thus, murihexocin A was selected to be the best lead as anticancer agent in silico. These in silico results could be beneficial as a compound model for further experimentally in-vitro and in-vivo assays to elucidate the exact mechanism of inhibitory activity and to examine its potential therapeutic effects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conflict of Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acknowledgement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Authors would like to thank The Scientific Committee of Department of Anatomical Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia for the support to accomplish this work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Harris\u00a0 A.
