Abstract
Objective: to determine the molecular mechanisms of action of 7-hydroxymatairesinol (7(OH)MR), the main lignan of spruce extracts, characterized by oncoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties.
Material and methods. The analysis of 7(OH)MR was carried out by chemoinformatic approach using the combinatorial theory of solvability and the topological theory of recognition. The postgenomic approach makes it possible to assess the effect of drugs on genome transcription (transcriptome) and on the proteome as a whole.
Results. 7(OH)MP has anti-inflammatory (inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase, matrix metalloproteinase 2, mitogen-activated kinase p38-alpha, leukotriene В4 receptor, prostacyclin receptor), and oncoprotective (antioxidant effect due to inhibition of heme oxygenase-2, inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases 3 and 4, epidermal growth factor, mTOR protein) pharmacological effects.
Conclusion. By reducing the expression of proliferative genes and genes involved in chronic inflammation, the 7(OH)MP molecule inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells. Pharmacoinformatic modeling showed that the anti-inflammatory effects of 7(OH)MR may contribute to increased lifespan in animal models.

What is already known about thе subject?
- 7-hydroxymatairesinol (7(ОН)МР) is the main lignan of spruce extracts, which has oncoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties
- An important feature of 7(OH)MR is its high safety of use
- 7(ОН)МР does not exert teratogenic or allergic effects
What are the new findings?
- It was shown that the anti-inflammatory mechanism of the molecular action of 7(OH)MR includes the inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase, matrix metalloproteinase 2, mitogen-activated kinase p38-alpha, leukotriene B4 receptor, prostaglandin receptor
- The oncoprotective mechanism of 7(OH)MR molecular action is based on the inhibition of heme oxygenase-2, cyclin-dependent kinases 3 and 4, epidermal growth factor, and mTOR protein
- According to the experimental study, 7(OH)MR in doses of 60 and 120
mg/day inhibits the growth of Ehrlich solid carcinoma even when provoked with estradiol
How might it impact the clinical practice in the foreseeable future?
- The oncoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of 7(ОН)МР indicate the prospects for its use in clinical practice of oncologists and gyne-
cologists
