Objective: To investigate the target and molecular mechanism for the antitumor action of quercetin. Method: Using Autodock Vina software
dock quercetin with 91 antitumor targets; analyze the binding mode of quercetin with the targets. Result: Quercetin shows high affinity to many antitumor targets. There are 8 targets with binding free energy to quercetin lower than-9.0 kcal·mol-1. Conclusion: Quercetin exerts antitumor action by inhibiting the activity of human neutrophil collagenase(MMP-8)
dihydroorotate dehydrogenase
dihydrofolate reductase
thymidylate synthase as well as several protein kinases.
