The biological properties of Physalis angulata L. include antibacterial, and antioxidant activity, anticancer and anti-inflammatory. The main goal of the research was to determine, using in silico methods, if some of the bioactive substances found in P. angulata L. extract were able to bind and inhibit the important protein/receptor. The Physalis angulata L. extract yielded significant in vitro-free radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with IC[Formula: see text] value of 1.14 mg/ml, total phenolic content (TPC) value 133.96 ± 2.35 mg of gallic acid equivalent (GAE/g) and TFC value 47.6 ± 5.08 mg of quercetin equivalent (QE/g), respectively. The antibacterial activity was modest when compared with antibiotics controls. The extract was more effective on gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus than gram Escherichia coli yielding 11.367 ± 0.9 (mm) and 7.102 ± 0.5 (mm), respectively, at a 1 mg/mL concentration. The LC-HRMS analysis of the plant extract showed the most responsive compounds (30) that were present were selected to get the hit compound(s) on all target proteins viz., lipoxygenase-3, cytochrome P450, DNA gyrase topoisomerase II and histone acetyltransferase. Computational approaches revealed the low binding affinity of (+)-gallocatechin among 30 identified compounds on all target proteins. All identified compounds have good pharmacokinetic characteristics on ADMET parameters. Based on this study, P. angulata L. extract is a promising source of biological activity with great potential therapeutic use as an antibacterial and antioxidant.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor mutation variant III (EGFR[Formula: see text] is a cancer-specific cell surface oncogenic marker and has been observed to be widely involved in the formation, progression and metastasis of lung cancer and some other tumors. Previously, a massive quantity of EGFR[Formula: see text]-binding peptides were enriched via random phage display (RPD) targeted against the protein. In this study, we reported rational discovery of 12-mer peptides with high affinity to EGFR[Formula: see text] and strong selectivity for EGFR[Formula: see text] over wild-type EGFR (EGFR[Formula: see text]. A combinatorial peptide library was designed to target EGFR[Formula: see text] based on over ten thousands of known EGFR[Formula: see text] binders enriched from RPD analysis, and a virtual high-throughput screening protocol was then systematically performed against the library to derive those potential candidates, which were further examined rigorously at structural and energetic levels to identify few promising hits. Anisotropy binding assays were carried out to substantiate the computational findings. Consequently, eight 12-mer peptides were designed as effective binders that can target the EGFR[Formula: see text] extracellular subdomain 3 (SD3). In particular, two potent peptides (T1: FLHRYEIVTSYF and T3: FLQKYEWNTSYW) were found to have a high affinity to EGFR[Formula: see text] and a good selectivity for EGFR[Formula: see text] over EGFR WT . Structural analysis revealed that the peptide-binding site can be divided into hydrophobic, polar and mixed regions, which correspond to the nonpolar [Formula: see text]-terminal section, polar/charged middle section and hybrid C-terminal section of the peptide. The peptide selectivity originated from the middle section, which can form a different hydrogen bond network between the two proteins upon the mutating perturbation, whereas the N- and C-terminal sections are primarily responsible for the peptide stability but not specificity.
