Abstract
PIM1is involved in critical cellular processes, playing a key role in the regulation of the cell cycle, apoptosis, transcriptional activation, and broader signal transduction pathways . The exploration of PIM1inhibitors, such as small molecules or antibodies, represents a promising avenue in cancer research for developing novel treatment strategiess. Its significance in oncogenic signaling has led to extensive research on PIM1 as a target in cancer studies. Docking studies have revealed a robust interaction between hypericin and PIM1, suggesting a strong binding affinity (-12.5 kcal/mol). This research aims to explore the molecular dynamics of the hypericin-PIM1 interaction, identifying potential binding sites and elucidating the impact on PIM1-mediated cellular processes, such as cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. The findings may contribute valuable insights into developing hypericin-based therapies targeting PIM1, paving the way for novel and effective strategies in cancer research.
