Antiproliferative activity and interaction with proteins of N-cyclohexylacrylamide

N-cyclohexylacrylamıde (NCA), the synthesized compound, was evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HeLa cancer cell line. Also, the current study has been analyzed by the use of molecular docking as protein-ligand interactions play a vital role in drug design. The docking study of NCA was performed with BCL-2, BCL-W, MCl-1, AKT, BRAF, CDK2, VEGFR, EGFR PARP1, CDK6 proteins. The 3D structures of proteins were obtained from the protein data bank and 3D structure of NCA compounds using GAUSSIAN. The in silico molecular docking results indicated that NCA compound can inhibit cancer-related proteins and can play a role as potential lead compounds for developing new drugs for cancer therapy with chemical modification.
