traditional methods of treatment. This paper will examine the anticancer activity of Nimbin, a bioactive molecule of
Azadirachtaindica (neem) in molecular docking with Human BRCA1 protein (PDB ID: 4IGK). Nimbin had high binding
affinity with a MolDock score of -136.54 which was higher than the standard drug Olaparib (-95.84). The analysis
determined that Nimbin forms several stable interactions with BRCA1, such as hydrogen bonds that could be one of the
reasons why Nimbin has strong anticancer properties. These findings may indicate that Nimbin has potential as an
alternative or adjunct treatment of breast cancer. It should be further experimented to validate its therapeutic potential. This
study will bring out the importance of natural products in cancer drug discovery and will be a basis of future
pharmacological studies</Abstract><Email> sivanageshmekala@yahoo.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>17</volume><issue>1</issue><year>2026</year><keyword>Breast cancer, Nimbin, Molecular docking, BRCA1, Azadirachtaindica</keyword><AUTHORS>Dr. Ali Said Yussuf1, Dr. Siva Nageswara Rao Mekala</AUTHORS><afflication>1Department of Surgery, The State University of Zanzibar, Tanzania 2Department of Clinical Pharmacology, The State University of Zanzibar – Tanzania</afflication></Article></Articles>
