Abstract: Cancer is accountable for the demise of numerous lives worldwide annually. In this research a derivative of lumichrome, 5,10-dihydro-7,8-dimethyl alloxazine was assessed for its anticancer property through docking study. It was appraised after performing molecular docking study of the 5,10-dihydro-7,8-dimethyl alloxazine, there was a strong interaction between multiple oncogenic target proteins like CDK2/CCNE2 (–8.5 kcal/mol), TDP2 (–8 kcal/mol), NAD-SIRT2 (–10.9 kcal/mol) and lung cancer and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Additionally, according to ADMET analysis, the synthesized compound 5,10-dihydro-7,8-dimethyl alloxazine also has good physicochemical characteristics to be a drug candidate. Consequently, these verdicts will assist the development of a novel anti-lung cancer and anti-leukemic agent which will eventually improve the endurance of cancer patients.
