The study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential of Cymbopogon citratus essential oil, showing significant in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Molecular docking analysis revealed promising binding potential of the major phytocompounds with human peroxiredoxin 5 and human cyclooxygenase 2, which was further supported by molecular dynamics simulations.
Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf is an aromatic perennial herb of Gramineae (Poaceae) family and is known for its application in food and healthcare industry. The present study aimed to evaluate antiinflammatory and antioxidant potential of C. citratus essential oil (CEO) through in vitro and in silico studies. Chemical characterization of CEO was done using Gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) method. In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, while egg albumin denaturation method was used to evaluate in vitro antiinflammatory activity of CEO. Molecular docking investigation of major phytocompounds of CEO was done using Autodock vina software against human peroxiredoxin 5 (PDB ID: 1HD2) and human cyclooxygenase 2 (PDB ID: 5IKQ) proteins, which were further analyzed through molecular dynamics (MD) simulation using YASARA. GC-MS analysis of CEO showed the presence of geranial (48%) neral (34.04%), b-myrcene (9.77%), geraniol (1.88%), linalool (0.84%), isogeranial (0.81%), b-caryophyllene (0.80%), D-limonene (0.51%) as major constituents. CEO showed significant antioxidant activity with DPPH (IC50-47.53 +/- 2.16 mg/ml), FRAP (IC50-30.7 +/- 0.31 mM), and ABTS assays (IC50-27.87 +/- 0.09 mg/ml). CEO also exhibited significant in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity with IC50-29.71 +/- 1.95 mg/ml as compared to that of Diclofenac sodium (IC50-36.52 +/- 1.95 mg/ml). Molecular docking revealed that b-caryophyllene showed considerable binding potential with human peroxiredoxin 5 receptor (-6.0 kcal/mol) and human cyclooxygenase 2 receptor (-10.1 kcal/mol). Further, MD simulations demonstrated considerable and stable interactions of b-caryophyllene with 1HD2 and 5IKQ proteins up to 100 ns. Drug-likeness and ADME/T features also showed that b-caryophyllene can be used as a potential candidate to replace the synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs with side effects and also act as natural antioxidants.
