Abstract
Objectives: Lymphoma is a cancerous disease. It develops into millions of people worldwide. Identify
the naturally active compounds from Catharanthus roseus, they have multiple values in the medicinal
field of Siddha, and Indian Ayurveda are used as a disease-preventing agent. Drug illness prediction,
toxicity prediction, statistical information, molecular docking, as well as absorption, distribution,
metabolism, and excretion (ADME) analysis are used to predict the fit ligand as a drug. Methods: The
database of protein data bank (PDB) was used to retrieve the BCL6 protein and its chains after the
purification. The poor binding affinity of ligands with target protein was removed, ADMET analysis
and Swiss-ADME lab webserver were used for drug-likeness analysis, and molecular docking is done
with the PyRx. Results: The dihedral angles Φ and ψ combination in the backbone of protein is shown
in the Ramachandran plot analysis. The five compounds of C. roseus have a potential binding affinity
with BCL6 found in molecular docking. ADMET profile and docking interaction showed five
compounds Perivine, Alstonine, Quercetin, 16-Methoxytabersonine, and Vindolininol are possess the
properties of the drug and safe to use. Conclusion: The previous and present studies suggest that
Perivine, Alstonine, Quercetin, 16-Methoxytabersonine, and Vindolininol could inhibit the chain A, B,
and C of BCL6 protein and have significant affinity binding. The therapeutic strategies against B-cell
lymphoma interpreted based on molecular binding and interaction.
Keywords: Catharanthus roseus, B-cell lymphoma, Cancer, Phytocompound, BCL6, Auto-docking,

INTRODUCTION
Lymphomas are the cancer of the lymphatic
system divided into Non-Hodgkin (NHL) and
Hodgkin (NL), where approximately 90% and 10%
of illnesses are observed. B-cell, T-cell, and NK-
cell types observed in NHL and NL were divided
into classical and nonclassical types. Diffuse large
B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, extranodal
marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue, mantle cell lymphoma, and Burkitt
lymphoma are types of B-cell lymphoma [1]. The
effective humoral immune response depends on the
BCL6 protein interacting with transcriptional
factors, and signaling mediators. The BCL6 helps
B-cell hyper somatic mutation and development in
the germinal center (GC) [2].
