Antiemetic activity of Sesamol possibly through serotonergic and dopaminergic receptor interaction pathways: In vivo and in silico studies

Sesamol (SEL) is 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol isolated from sesame seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the antiemetic activity of SEL, supported by in vivo and in silico studies. Further, molecular docking was carried out to understand the molecular interaction between selected ligands and different rec...

description Sesamol (SEL) is 3,4-methylenedioxyphenol isolated from sesame seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the antiemetic activity of SEL, supported by in vivo and in silico studies. Further, molecular docking was carried out to understand the molecular interaction between selected ligands and different receptors liable for mediating emesis. SEL (25 and 50 mg/kg) showed dose-dependent elevation in latency (133.20 ± 2.19 and 293.00 ± 5.27 s) and diminishment in the retching number (16.40 ± 1.15 and 9.40 ± 1.04 times), compared to control. Additionally, SEL can antagonize the activity of ondansetron (OND; 5 mg/kg) and domperidone (DOM; 7 mg/kg), resulting in a decrease in latency (256.00 ± 9.59 and 253.00 ± 2.79 s) and enhancing the number of retches (11.80 ± 0.82 and 12.60 ± 1.04) in combination rather than OND and DOM alone. An in-silico study showed SEL has moderate binding activity (−5.9 and − 5.7 kcal/mol) for serotonin (5HT3) and dopaminergic (D2) receptors, respectively, via hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds with specific amino acid residues.
