Interaction study of monoisoamyl dimercaptosuccinic acid with bovine serum albumin using biophysical and molecular docking approaches

Scientific Reports

Monoisoamyl 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (MiADMSA), a lipophilic chelator has been evaluated for its potential use as an antidote in arsenic poisoning. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties of a drug could be understood via study its mechanism of interaction with bovine serum albumin protein (BSA). Therefore, the interaction between MiADMSA with BSA was investigated using various spectroscopic techniques and computational methods. Linear quenching of BSA intrinsic fluorescence intensity with the increasing concentration of MiADMSA was observed in the fluorescence study. Furthermore, synchronous results revealed that MiADMSA slightly changed the conformation of BSA. The binding constant value of the BSA-MiADMSA complex was found 1.60 × 104 M−1 at 298 K. The value of thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS described that the process is spontaneous, endothermic, and hydrophobic forces are involved in the interaction of MiADMSA with BSA. Competitive site marker experiments...

Evaluation by fluorescence, STD-NMR, docking and semi-empirical calculations of the o -NBA photo-acid interaction with BSA

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2016

Serum albumins present reversible pH dependent conformational transitions. A sudden laser induced pH-jump is a methodology that can provide new insights on localized protein (un)folding processes that occur within the nanosecond to microsecond time scale. To generate the fast pH jump needed to fast-trigger a protein conformational event, a photo-triggered acid generator as o-nitrobenzaldehyde (o-NBA) can be conveniently used. In order to detect potential specific or nonspecific interactions between o-NBA and BSA, we have performed ligand-binding studies using fluorescence spectroscopy, saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR, molecular docking and semi-empirical calculations. Fluorescence quenching indicates the formation of a non-fluorescent complex in the ground-state between the fluorophore and the quencher, but o-NBA does not bind much effectively to the protein (K a~4 .34 × 10 3 M −1) and thus can be considered a relatively weak binder. The corresponding thermodynamic parameters: ΔG°, ΔS°and ΔH°showed that the binding process is spontaneous and entropy driven. Results of 1 H STD-NMR confirm that the photo-acid and BSA interact, and the relative intensities of the signals in the STD spectra show that all o-NBA protons are equally involved in the binding process, which should correspond to a nonspecific interaction. Molecular docking and semi-empirical calculations suggest that the o-NBA binds preferentially to the Trp-212-containing site of BSA (FA7), interacting via hydrogen bonds with Arg-217 and Tyr-149 residues.

Molecular docking and ADMET studies of the interaction of 4-carboxyl-2,6-dinitrophenylazohydroxynaphthalenes with bovine serum albumin

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioresources

Previous spectrophotometric investigations revealed strong binding affinities between four potential monoazo colourants (code-named AZ-01 to 04) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) which could dictate the tissue distribution and toxicity of the additives. The molecular docking interactions of the dyes with BSA were analyzed using AutoDock vina and PatchDock in order to elucidate the functional groups involved in complex stabilization. Docking conformations confirmed the ligands preferentially inserted into the hydrophobic cavities of BSA site I. Structure-BSA binding relationships revealed the binding of AZ-02 was driven by hydrogen bond donation from its free phydroxynaphthalene substituent to Ser-479 while the predominantly hydrazone form of its positional isomer, AZ-01, increased its lipophilicity and tendency for hydrophobic interactions. The relatively higher C/H ratio of AZ-03 and - 04, which contain additional C-7 substituents, was responsible for their stronger binding and the ex...

In Vitro Study of Ethyl‐4‐(3,4.5‐trimethoxyphenyl)‐2,7,7‐trimethyl‐5‐oxo1,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylate and Bovine Serum Albumin Using Multi‐Spectroscopic Techniques and Molecular Docking

Macromolecular Symposia, 2019

The binding of quinolone derivative ethyl-4-(3,4.5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2,7,7trimethyl-5-oxo1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate (ETMTMHQC) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) is investigated by various spectroscopic methods and molecular docking analysis. The fluorescence quenching spectroscopic results show that ETMTMHQC bind to the protein BSA. The binding constant value is found to be 5.2 × 10 −6 K (mol dm 3). The thermodynamic parameter of the system shows increase in temperature with gradual decrease in Stern-Volmer quenching constant thereby indicating static quenching mode. Negative entropy and positive enthalpy indicate the hydrogen bonding interaction. The (r) distance between BSA and ETMTMHQC obtained from fluorescence resonance energy transfer is found to be 7.0 nm. The UV-visible spectra reveal the increase in absorbance on formation of BSA-ETMTMHQC complex. The CD spectral study indicates reduction of-helical structure in BSA and small changes in the tertiary structure of the protein. ETMTMHQC interacts strongly with BSA, and small changes in protein morphology are advised by molecular docking results. Moreover, docking results show that ETMTMHQC binds to BSA at ASN390 residue.

A spectroscopic and molecular docking approach on the binding of tinzaparin sodium with human serum albumin

Journal of Molecular Structure, 2017

The mechanism of interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and natural product phellopterin (PL) from Angelica dahurica was investigated by spectroscopic techniques with molecular docking under simulated physiological conditions. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence of HSA was regularly quenched by PL, and the quenching constants (K SV) decreased with increasing temperature, which indicated that the quenching mechanism was a static quenching procedure. The binding constants (K A) were larger than 10 −5 M −1 and the number of binding sites (n) was approximate to 1 at different temperatures, which indicated that the binding affinity was hige and there was just one main binding site in HSA for PL. According to thermodynamic parameters from Van't Hoff equation, the binding process of PL with HSA was spontaneous and exothermic process due to ΔG < 0, and the electrostatic force played major role in the binding between PL and HSA according to ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0. The binding distance (r) was calculated to be about 3.35 nm, which implied that the energy transfer from HSA to PL occurred with high possibility according to the theory of Förster's non-radiation energy transfer. The microenvironment and conformation of HSA changed with the addition of PL based on the results of synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence methods. The molecular docking analysis revealed the binding locus of PL to HSA in subdomain IIIA (Sudlow's site II).

Exploring the molecular interaction of mebendazole with bovine serum albumin using multi-spectroscopic approaches and molecular docking

Scientific Reports

This article presents the binding interaction between mebendazole (MBZ) and bovine serum albumin. The interaction has been studied using different techniques, such as fluorescence quenching spectroscopy, UV–visible spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer in addition to molecular docking. Results from Stern Volmer equation stated that the quenching for MBZ-BSA binding was static. The fluorescence quenching spectroscopic study was performed at three temperature settings. The binding constant (kq), the number of binding sites (n), thermodynamic parameters (ΔHο, ΔSοand ΔGο), and binding forces were determined. The results exhibited that the interaction was endothermic. It was revealed that intermolecular hydrophobic forces led to the stabilization of the drug-protein system. Using the site marker technique, the binding between MBZ and BSA was found to be located at subdomain IIA (site I). This was furthe...

Investigation of Conformational Changes of Bovine Serum Albumin upon Binding with Benzocaine Drug: a Spectral and Computational Analysis

BioNanoScience, 2019

Benzocaine drug (BZC) is an active component of various nonprescription drugs and used for numb teething treatments. The interaction of BZC with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied using fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, UV-Vis, circular dichroism (CD), and molecular docking analysis. The results revealed that BZC has a strong affinity to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA in terms of a static quenching mechanism under physiological conditions. The fluorescence quenching data revealed that the quenching constants are (K SV) 4.10, 3.30, and 2.35 × 10 4 L mol −1 at 298, 304, and 310 K, respectively. The binding constants (K b) at three different temperatures (298, 304, and 310 K) were found to be 6.02, 3.72, and 1.10 × 10 5 L mol −1 , respectively. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH°and ΔS°have been estimated to be − 70.67 and − 128.9 J mol −1 K −1 , respectively, thereby, indicating that hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals forces play major role in the interaction of BSA-BZC. Moreover, the negative values of ΔG°− 32.30, − 31.50, − 30.68 kJ mol −1 at 298, 304, 310 K, respectively, indicate the spontaneity of the interaction. FRET analysis proved high probability of energy transfer from BSA to the drug molecule. Molecular docking and displacement studies indicated that BZC was bound to the Sudlow's site II through hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals interactions.

Explication of bovine serum albumin binding with naphthyl hydroxamic acids using a multispectroscopic and molecular docking approach along with its antioxidant activity

Luminescence, 2019

In the present investigation, the protein-binding properties of naphthyl-based hydroxamic acids (HAs), N-1-naphthyllaurohydroxamic acid (1) and N-1-naphthyl-pmethylbenzohydroxamic acid (2) were studied using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy-Fourier transform infrared (DRS-FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), and cyclic voltammetry along with computational approaches, i.e. molecular docking. Alteration in the antioxidant activities of compound 1 and compound 2 during interaction with BSA was also studied. From the fluorescence studies, thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb's free energy (ΔG), entropy change (ΔS) and enthalpy change (ΔH) were calculated at five different temperatures (viz., 298, 303, 308, 313 or 318 K) for the HAs-BSA interaction. The results suggested that the binding process was enthalpy driven with dominating hydrogen bonds and van der Waals' interactions for both compounds. Warfarin (WF) and ibuprofen (IB) were used for competitive site-specific marker binding interaction and revealed that compound 1 and compound 2 were located in subdomain IIA (Sudlow's site I) on the BSA molecule. Conclusions based on above-applied techniques signify that various non-covalent forces were involved during the HAs-BSA interaction. Therefore the resulted HAs-BSA interaction manifested its effect in transportation, distribution and metabolism for the drug in the blood circulation system, therefore establishing HAs as a drug-like molecule.
