Interactions between antimalarial indolone-N-oxide derivatives and human serum albumin

The binding affinity of human serum albumin (HSA) to three antimalarial indolone-N-oxide derivatives, INODs, was investigated under simulated physiological conditions using fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV-vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Analysis of fluorescence quenching data of HSA by these compounds at different temperatures using Stern-Volmer and Lineweaver-Burk methods revealed the formation of a ground state indolone-HSA complex with binding affinities of the order 10(4) M(-1). The thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS, calculated at different temperatures, indicated that the binding reaction was endothermic and hydrophobic interactions play a major role in this association. The conformational changes of HSA were investigated qualitatively using synchronous fluorescence and quantitatively using CD. Site marker competitive experiments showed that the binding process took place primarily at site I (subdomain IIA) of HSA. The number of binding sites and the apparent binding constants were also studied in the presence of different ions.     

Binding of fexofenadine hydrochloride to bovine serum albumin: structural considerations by spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking

The binding interaction of peripheral H₁ receptor antagonist drug, fexofenadine hydrochloride to bovine serum albumin (BSA) is investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV-absorption spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The Stern–Volmer plots at different temperatures and the steady state fluorescence suggested a static type of interaction between fexofenadine and BSA. Binding constants were determined to provide a measure of the binding affinity between fexofenadine and BSA. It was found that BSA has one binding site for fexofenadine. On the basis of the competitive site marker experiments and thermodynamic results, it was considered that fexofenadine was primarily bound to the site I of BSA mainly by hydrogen bond and van der Waals force. Utilising Förster resonance energy transfer the distance, r between the donor, BSA and acceptor fexofenadine was obtained. Furthermore, the results of circular dichroism and synchronous fluorescence spectrum indicated that the secondary structure of BSA was changed in the presence of fexofenadine. Molecular docking was applied to further define the interaction of fexofenadine with BSA.     

Interaction of ergosterol with bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin by spectroscopic analysis

This study was designed to examine the interactions of ergosterol with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) under physiological conditions with the drug concentrations in the range of 2.99-105.88?μM and the concentration of proteins was fixed at 5.0?μM. The analysis of emission spectra quenching at different temperatures revealed that the quenching mechanism of HSA/BSA by ergosterol was the static quenching. The number of binding sites n and the binding constants K were obtained at various temperatures. The distance r between ergosterol and HSA/BSA was evaluated according to F?ster non-radioactive energy transfer theory. The results of synchronous fluorescence, 3D fluorescence, FT-IR, CD and UV-Vis absorption spectra showed that the conformations of HSA/BSA altered in the presence of ergosterol. The thermodynamic parameters, free energy change (ΔG), enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) for BSA-ergosterol and HSA-ergosterol systems were calculated by the van't Hoff equation and discussed. Besides, with the aid of three site markers (for example, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen and digitoxin), we have reported that ergosterol primarily binds to the tryptophan residues of BSA/HSA within site I (subdomain II A).     

In vitro study on binding interaction of quinapril with bovine serum albumin (BSA) using multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking methods

The binding interaction between quinapril (QNPL) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in vitro has been investigated using UV absorption spectroscopy, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, 3D fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and molecular docking methods for obtaining the binding information of QNPL with BSA. The experimental results confirm that the quenching mechanism of the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA induced by QNPL is static quenching based on the decrease in the quenching constants of BSA in the presence of QNPL with the increase in temperature and the quenching rates of BSA larger than 10¹⁰ L mol^?1 s^?1, indicating forming QNPL–BSA complex through the intermolecular binding interaction. The binding constant for the QNPL–BSA complex is in the order of 10⁵ M^?1, indicating there is stronger binding interaction of QNPL with BSA. The analysis of thermodynamic parameters together with molecular docking study reveal that the main binding forces in the binding process of QNPL with BSA are van der Waal’s forces and hydrogen bonding interaction. And, the binding interaction of BSA with QNPL is an enthalpy-driven process. Based on Förster resonance energy transfer, the binding distance between QNPL and BSA is calculated to be 2.76 nm. The results of the competitive binding experiments and molecular docking confirm that QNPL binds to sub-domain IIA (site I) of BSA. It is confirmed there is a slight change in the conformation of BSA after binding QNPL, but BSA still retains its secondary structure α-helicity.     

Study on the interactions of mapenterol with serum albumins using multi‐spectroscopy and molecular docking

The interactions of mapenterol with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) have been investigated systematically using fluorescence spectroscopy, absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) and molecular docking techniques. Mapenterol has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA and HSA through static quenching procedures. At 291 K, the binding constants, K_a, were 1.93 × 10³ and 2.73 × 10³ L/mol for mapenterol–BSA and mapenterol–HAS, respectively. Electrostatic forces and hydrophobic interactions played important roles in stabilizing the mapenterol–BSA/has complex. Using site marker competitive studies, mapenterol was found to bind at Sudlow site I on BSA/HSA. There was little effect of K⁺, Ca²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺ on the binding. The conformation of BSA/HSA was changed by mapenterol, as seen from the synchronous fluorescence spectra. The CD spectra showed that the binding of mapenterol to BSA/HSA changed the secondary structure of BSA/HSA. Molecular docking further confirmed that mapenterol could bind to Sudlow site I of BSA/HSA. According to Förster non‐radiative energy transfer theory (FRET), the distances r₀ between the donor and acceptor were calculated as 3.18 and 2.75 nm for mapenterol–BSA and mapenterol–HAS, respectively.

Comparative studies on the interactions of baicalein and Al(III)–baicalein complex with human serum albumin

A new potential drug aluminum(III)–baicalein complex (ALBC) was synthesized and characterized. The binding mechanisms of baicalein (BC) and ALBC to human serum albumin (HSA) under simulative physiological conditions were investigated, in order to understand the pharmacokinetics of BC and ALBC. Fluorescence spectroscopy results suggested that the binding level of BC is higher than that of ALBC. Results of UV–vis, synchronous fluorescence, 3D fluorescence, circular dichroism and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analyses consistently demonstrated that the conformation of HSA was altered when bound to BC or ALBC. The distance between HSA as a donor and BC (or ALBC) as an acceptor was determined via fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The results of competitive experiments and molecular docking studies indicated that BC was located in site I (subdomain IIA) on HSA and that ALBC was bound to HSA mainly within site II (subdomain IIIA).

Interaction of human serum albumin with 10-hydroxycamptothecin: spectroscopic and molecular modeling studies

In this work, fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular modeling was employed to investigate the binding of 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) to human serum albumin (HSA) under simulative physiological conditions. The experiment results showed that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by HCPT was a result of the formation of HCPT–HSA complex. The corresponding association constants (K _a) between HCPT and HSA at four different temperatures were determined according to the modified Stern–Volmer equation. The results of thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS indicated that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces played major roles for HCPT–HSA association. Site marker competitive displacement experiment indicated that the binding of HCPT to HSA primarily took place in sub-domain IIA (site I). Molecular docking study further confirmed the binding mode and the binding site obtained by fluorescence and site marker competitive experiments. The conformational investigation showed that the presence of HCPT decreased the α-helical content of HSA and induced the slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein, which confirmed some micro-environmental and conformational changes of HSA molecules.     

Exploration of interaction of canthaxanthin with human serum albumin by spectroscopic and molecular simulation methods

The interaction between the food colorant canthaxanthin (CA) and human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous solution was explored by using fluorescence spectroscopy, three‐dimensional fluorescence spectra, synchronous fluorescence spectra, UV–vis absorbance spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectra and molecular docking methods. The thermodynamic parameters calculated from fluorescence spectra data showed that CA could result in the HSA fluorescence quenching. From the K_SV change with the temperature dependence, it was concluded that HSA fluorescence quenching triggered by CA is the static quenching and the number of binding sites is one. Furthermore, the secondary structure of HSA was changed with the addition of CA based on the results of synchronous fluorescence, three‐dimensional fluorescence and CD spectra. Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces played key roles in the binding process of CA with HSA, which can be obtained from negative standard enthalpy (ΔH) and negative standard entropy (ΔS). Furthermore, the conclusions were certified by molecular docking studies and the binding mode was further analyzed with Discovery Studio. These conclusions can highlight the potential of the interaction mechanism of food additives and HSA.     

Spectroscopic and molecular docking studies on interaction of two Schiff base complexes with bovine serum albumin

Abstract

This study was designed to examine interaction of two ternary copper (II) Schiff base complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA), using spectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. The fluorescence quenching measurements revealed that the quenching mechanism was static and the binding site of both Schiff bases to BSA was singular. Förster energy transfer measurements, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, and docking study showed both Schiff bases bind to the Trp residues of BSA in short distances. Docking study showed that both Schiff base molecules bind with BSA by forming several hydrogen and van der Waals bonds. In addition, molecular docking study indicated that Schiff base A and Schiff base B were located within the binding pocket of subdomain IB and subdomain IIA of BSA, respectively. Results of Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that bovine serum albumin interacts with both Schiff bases and the secondary structure of BSA was changed.

Investigation on the effect of fluorescence quenching of bovine serum albumin by cefoxitin sodium using fluorescence spectroscopy and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy

The reaction mechanism of cefoxitin sodium with bovine serum albumin was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy at different temperatures. The results showed that the change of binding constant of the synchronous fluorescence method with increasing temperature could be used to estimate the types of quenching mechanisms of drugs with protein and was consistent with one of fluorescence quenching method. In addition, the number of binding sites, type of interaction force, cooperativity between drug and protein and energy‐transfer parameters of cefoxitin sodium and bovine serum albumin obtained from two methods using the same equation were consistent. Electrostatic force played a major role in the conjugation reaction between bovine serum albumin and cefoxitin sodium, and the type of quenching was static quenching. The primary binding site for cefoxitin sodium was sub‐hydrophobic domain IIA, and the number of binding sites was 1. The value of Hill's coefficients (n_H) was approximately equal to 1, which suggested no cooperativity in the bovine serum albumin–cefoxitin sodium system. The donor‐to‐acceptor distance r < 7 nm indicated that static fluorescence quenching of bovine serum albumin by cefoxitin sodium was also a non‐radiation energy‐transfer process. The results indicated that synchronous fluorescence spectrometry could be used to study the reaction mechanism between drug and protein, and was a useful supplement to the conventional method.
