Aromatase, a catalyst in the aromatization reaction of androgens to estrogen, is a member of the cytochrome p450 superfamily, known as monooxygenases. The synthesized estrogen by Aromatase in breast cancer nourishes the cancer cells and assesses the hormonally growing of cancer cells. Therefore, Aromatase is considered as a potential target in treatment of breast cancer. Nowadays, major considerations in drug's selection in the treatment of cancers are shifted to natural sources due to their low toxicity profiles and better therapeutic functionality. In the present study, we have identified the binding modes of various xanthones, dietary supplements obtained from different plant sources, by using of efficient Biocomputational tools. Through docking studies, it is clear that 10 out of 13 ligands showing hydrogen bonds with amino ac.. View More»
