Aktivitas Propil P-Benzoiloksibenzoat Sebagai Inhibitor Glutation S-Transferase: Perbandingan Pendekatan Kimia Komputasi Dengan Pengamatan Empiris
ABSTRACT: The activity of
propyl p-benzoyloxybenzoate as a glutathione S-transferase(s) (GSTs) inhibitor
has been examined through computational chemistry based theoretical approach
and laboratory experiment. This research was related to the nature of GSTs as
multifunctional enzymes, which play an important role in the detoxification of
electrophilic compounds, the process of inflammation and the effectivities of
anticancer compounds. Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR)
study, which was established on curcumin and its derivatives using
computational chemistry approach, was used to examine the theoretical activity
of p-benzoyloxybenzoate as a GSTs inhibitor. Empirical observation on GSTs
inhibition was examined using formation reaction model of GS-CNB conjugate
through conjugation of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and glutathione (GSH)
with GSTs (prepared from rat's liver) as catalysts. The result showed that the
difference between the activities of propyl p-benzoyloxybenzoate as a GSTs
inhibitor obtained from the computational chemistry approach and the empirical
observation were not statistically significant at 95% level of confidence.
