There is a continuous need for novel, low-toxicity compounds capable of modulating key oncogenic pathways in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Mangrove ecosystems are rich reservoirs of bioactive phytochemicals, yet the inhibitory potential of compounds from\n                    <jats:italic>Rhizophora mucronata<\/jats:italic>\n                    against validated lung cancer-associated proteins has not been systematically explored using multi-scale computational approaches. This study employed an integrated computational pipeline to evaluate 14 phytochemicals from R. mucronata. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP\/6-31G* level were performed to characterize electronic properties of the ligands. Molecular docking studies were conducted using both AutoDock Vina (PyRx) and Schr\u00f6dinger Glide against the Keap1 Kelch domain (PDB 1X2J) and the YEATS2 YEATS domain (PDB 5XNV). Top-ranked complexes were subjected to 100-ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in Desmond, and pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles were predicted using SwissADME and pkCSM. Among the screened compounds, ligand L10 (cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexaol) exhibited the smallest HOMO\u2013LUMO energy gap (0.36 eV), favorable binding affinities (Glide score of \u20137.789 kcal\/mol against 1X2J), multiple hydrogen-bonding interactions, and stable complex behavior during MD simulations (C\u03b1 RMSD\u2009&lt;\u20093 \u00c5). Several other ligands (L02, L05, and L07) also displayed promising profiles. Most compounds complied with Lipinski\u2019s rule of five and showed acceptable predicted ADMET properties. These preliminary findings suggest that\n                    <jats:italic>Rhizophora mucronate<\/jats:italic>\n                    -derived phytochemicals, particularly L10, are promising candidates for further experimental evaluation as modulators of Keap1 and YEATS2 in lung cancer. This study provides a computational framework for prioritizing natural product leads from mangrove species for subsequent in vitro and in vivo validation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0359525","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]],"date-time":"2026-10-07T17:29:25Z","timestamp":1791394165000},"page":"e0359525","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Investigating the anticancer potential of phytochemicals from the mangrove Rhizophora mucronata as inhibitors of lung cancer-associated proteins: Insights from multiscale computational and in silico analyses"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Zena Abdul-Ameer","family":"Mahdi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Applied Medical Sciences, University of Kerbala","place":["Karbala, Iraq"],"department":["Department of Medical Physics"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Batool Shakir Abed","family":"AlmjalawI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Education, General Directorate of Education in Kerbala","place":["Iraq"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mollah","family":"Naimuzzaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sylhet Agricultural University","place":["Sylhet, Bangladesh"],"department":["Department of Agroforestry and Environmental Science"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Md Mahabub","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agricultural Sciences, IUBAT\u2014International University of Business Agriculture and Technology","place":["Dhaka, Bangladesh"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5136-6166","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ajoy","family":"Kumer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences in Saveetha Medical College and Hospital","place":["Chennai, India"],"department":["Department of General Medicine"]},{"name":"College of Arts and Sciences","place":["Dhaka, Bangladesh"],"department":["Department of Chemistry"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farah Tareq","family":"Al-Alaq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, University of Babylon","place":["Babylon, Iraq"],"department":["Department of Biology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hussein O.M.","family":"Al-Dahmoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science, University of Babylon","place":["Babylon, Iraq"],"department":["Department of Biology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faizur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Agricultural Sciences, IUBAT\u2014International University of Business Agriculture and Technology","place":["Dhaka, Bangladesh"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Md.
