Paraboea sp., commonly known as limestone mistletoe, is widely distributed in the limestone mountainous region of Batulicin, South Kalimantan, and has been traditionally used by local communities as an anticancer remedy. However, scientific investigations on its secondary metabolites with potential anticancer activity remain limited. This study aimed to computationally explore the anticancer potential of secondary metabolites from Paraboea sp. leaves by evaluating their interactions with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Molecular docking simulations were performed to predict the binding affinity and interaction stability of two selected secondary metabolites, veronicastroside and vicenin-2, against EGFR. The results revealed that both compounds exhibited favorable interactions with EGFR, with binding energies of −10.0 kcal/mol for veronicastroside and −9.0 kcal/mol for vicenin-2. The root mean square deviation (RMSD) values of the veronicastroside–EGFR and vicenin-2–EGFR complexes were 1.32 Å and 1.98 Å, respectively, indicating stable binding conformations. These findings suggest that veronicastroside, in particular, has promising potential for further development as an ethnomedicine-based supplement to support cancer health management.
