Docking Studies on Flavonoid Anticancer Agents With DNA Methyl Transferase

Abstract

Flavonoid is a group of polyphenolic compounds that widely found in fruits andvegetables. Based on early research, some flavonoid had higher antioxidant effect than the others. Those were kaempferol, galangin, quercetin, robinetin, fisetin, kaempferide, 3-hydroxy-flavone, morin, naringin, coumestrol and daidzein. In some studies, antioxidant drugs are able to act as anticancer drugs by inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells.
