A Study on the Interaction of the DAS-K with Bovine Serum Albumin by On-line Ultrafiltration and Chemiluminescence

Potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate （DAS-K） has antibacterial and antiviral effects. It has been used widely for the treatment of virus pneumonia, malaria and respiratory infections. In this work, a novel flow-injection chemiluminescence （CL） method for the determination of DAS-K was proposed. The method is based on the reaction between DAS-K and hexacyanoferrate（III） in alkaline solution to give weak CL signal, which is enhanced by rhodamine B. The experimental conditions for the CL reaction were optimized and the possible reaction mechanism was discussed. Under the optimum conditions, the concentration of DAS-K is proportional to the CL intensity in the range of 0.1-80 μmol·L^-1 with a detection limit of 0.05 μmol·L^-1. The interaction of the DAS-K with bovine serum albumin by on-line ultrafiltration and flow-injection chemiluminescence was studied. The concentrations of unbound DAS-K from ultra filter tube were determined by the flow-injection CL method. The binding parameters were estimated by the Scatchard plot and Klotz plot. The proposed system proved that FIA-CL coupled with on-line ultrafiltration sampling was a fast and simple technique for the study of drug-protein interaction.

Interaction of Surface-active Fluorescence Probes with Bovine Serum Albumin

The binding between three surface-active substituted 3H-indole fluorescence probes and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was studied using fluorescence quenching. The binding constants of 3H-indole molecules with BSA were obtained.

The results show that the oligoethyloxyethylene chain of 3H-indole molecules is longer, the binding between them is stronger, the energy transfer efficiency is higher, and the distance between tryptophan and 3H-indole is nearer.     

Studies on Thermodynamics Features of the Interaction between Imidacloprid and Bovine Serum Albumin

At different temperatures, the interactions between imidacloprid （IMI） and bovine serum albumin （BSA） were investigated with a fluorescence quenching spectrum, a synchronous fluorescence spectrum, a three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum and an ultraviolet-visible spectrum. The average values of bonding constants （KLB： 3.424 × 10^4 L,mol^-1）, thermodynamic parameters （△H： 5.188 kJ,mol^-1, △G^（○—）：-26.36 kJ,mol^-1, △S： 103.9 J,K^-1,mol^-1） and the numbers of bonding sites （n： 1.156） could be obtained through Stern-Volmer, Lineweaver-Burk and ther- modynamic equations. It was shown that the fluorescence of BSA could be quenched for its reactions with IMI to form a certain kind of new compound. The quenching belonged to a static fluorescence quenching, with a non-radiation energy transfer happening within a single molecule. The thermodynamic parameters agree with △H〉 0, △S〉0 and△G^（○-）〈0, suggesting that the binding power between IMI and BSA should be mainly a hydrophobic interaction.

Spectroscopic Study on the Interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin and Tween‐20

The interaction between nonionic surfactant Tween-20 and bovine serum albumin (BSA) is studied in Tris‐HCl buffer solution by spectroscopic methods. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA is quenched by the addition of Tween‐20. The UV‐visible absorption spectra and the synchronous fluorescence spectra show that the addition of Tween‐20 changes the polarity of the environment around tryptophan (trp) residues of BSA. The fraction of trp residues on the surface of BSA with and without Tween- 20 is calculated via I^? quenching experiments.     

Spectroscopic Study on Interaction of Lomefloxacin with Human Serum Albumin in the Presence of Copper Ion

The interaction of lomefloxacin （LMF） with human serum albumin （HSA） in the presence of copper ions in a physiological medium and its thermodynamic characteristics were investigated by multi-spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that both LMF and LMF-Cu^2＋ could quench the fluorescence of HSA with a static quenching mechanism, indicating that LMF or LMF-Cu^2＋ could react with HSA. The apparent binding constants/numbers of binding sites were estimated as 4.924± 105 Lomol 1/1.473 for LMF-HSA, 8.990± 104 L·mol^-1/1.785 for LMF- Cu^2＋-HSA, 1.10± 105 L·mol^-1/1.21 for LMF-Cu^2＋ and 7.30± 102 L·mol^-1/0.82 for HSA-Cu^2＋, respectively. AH and AS for LMF-HSA system were calculated to be --2.189 kJ·mol^-1 and 61.25 J·mol^-1·K^-1, while those for LMF-Cu^2＋-HSA system were -7.401 kJ·mol^-1 and 47.63 J·mol^-1·K^-1 Although the values of AH and AS in these two systems were different, the treads were similar, which indicated that electrostatic interactions in these two systems played a major role. According to Forster theory, the distances were given as 5.006 nm for HSA-LMF and 4.709 nm for HSA-LMF-Cu^2＋. Synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism spectra confirmed further that the conformations of human serum albumin before and after interacting with LMF or LMF-Cu^2＋ were different. All the results revealed that copper ions promoted the interaction of lomefloxacin with human serum albumin.     

Investigation of the Interaction between Isoflavonoids and Bovine Serum Albumin by Fluorescence Spectroscopy

The interactions of bovine serum albumin （BSA） with three structurally related isoflavonoids, genistein, puerarin and daidzein, were studied under physiological conditions by fluorescence spectroscopic technique. The quenching mechanism of these compounds with BSA was suggested as static quenching and the binding constants were determined at different temperatures based on the fluorescence quenching results. The transfer efficiency of energy and distance between the acceptor and BSA were investigated on the basis of the mechanism of the Forster energy transference. According to the thermodynamic parameters it has been suggested that the acting force be mainly hydrophobic force. The comparison of binding potency of the three isoflavonoids to BSA showed that the substitution by 5-OH and 8-Glc could enhance the binding affinity. All these obtained in the work can make us better understand the mode of the action and pharmacological activities of the isoflavonoids.     

Characterization of the Interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin and Lomefloxacin by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction of 2,4-Dichlorophenol with Bovine Serum Albumin

The interaction between 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy combined with UV-vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy under simulative physiological conditions. The experiment results show that the fluorescence intensity of BSA is dramatically decreased owing to the formation of a DCP–BSA complex. The corresponding effective quenching constants (K _a) between DCP and BSA at four different temperatures (292, 298, 304 and 310 K) were determined to be 10.08×10⁴, 9.082×10⁴, 8.177×10⁴, and 7.260×10⁴ L?mol^?1, respectively. The thermodynamics parameters enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated to be ?13.64 kJ?mol^?1 and 49.08 J?mol^?1?K^?1, which suggested that hydrophobic interaction was the predominant intermolecular force. Site marker competitive experiments indicated that the binding of DCP to BSA primarily takes place in subdomain IIA. The binding distance (r) between DCP and the tryptophan residue of BSA ias 4.09 nm according to Förster’s theory of non-radioactive energy transfer. The conformational investigation demonstrated that the presence of DCP decreased the α-helical content of BSA and induced a slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein, which confirmed the occurrence some micro environmental and conformational changes of BSA molecules.     

Study on the Supramolecular Interaction of β-Cyclodextrin with Gemfibrozil by Spectrofluorimetry and Its Analytical Application

The supramolecular interaction of gemfibrozil with β-cyclodextrin （β-CD） was studied by spectrofluorimetry. The mechanism of the inclusion was discussed by spectrofluoremetry, infrared spectrum and ^1H NMR spectrum. The results showed that a 1 ： 1 （β-CD ： gemfibrozil） complex was formed with an apparent association constant of 3.844 × 10^3 L·mol^-1. Based on the enhancement of the fluorescent intensity of gemfibrozil, a spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of gemfibrozil in bulk aqueous solution in the presence of β-CD was developed. The linear range was 3.30 ng·mL^- 1 -6.00 ug·mL^-1 with the detection limit of 0.980 ng·mL^-1. There was no interference from the excipients normally used in tablet composition and the serum main compositions. The proposed method was then successfully applied to the determination of gemfibrozil in capsules and serum.     

Interaction of Curculigosides and Their ��-Cyclodextrin Complexes with Bovine Serum Albumin: A Fluorescence Spectroscopic Study

Curculigosides A and B, two of the phyto-constituents of the medicinal plant Curculigo orchioides gatern, were isolated. The binding properties of these curculigosides with ??-cyclodextrin, and their interaction with bovine serum albumin in free and ??-cyclodextrin-complexed forms, were studied using fluorescence spectroscopy. The stoichiometry and binding constants of these complexes together with their binding modes are reported. Both of the curculigoside?Ccyclodextrin complexes are found to bind more weakly to the bovine serum albumin molecule than their free forms. The difference in the binding strengths of curculigoside A and curculigoside B with cyclodextrin makes a difference in their binding with bovine serum albumin.

In Vitro Study of the Binding of Taxifolin to Bovine Serum Albumin and the Influence of Common Ions on the Binding

The interaction between taxifolin and bovine serum albumin (BSA), and the effects of some common ions on their interaction, were investigated by fluorescence and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The results indicate that taxifolin has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA through a static quenching process. According to values of the thermodynamic parameters, the hydrophobic force plays a major role in the interaction. Based on Főster’s non-radiation theory, the energy transfer distances between BSA and taxifolin in the absence and presence of some common ions were obtained. The experimental results indicate that the transfer distances are almost unaffected by these ions. The conformation of BSA undergoes significant change from the formation of a taxifolin–BSA complex, which was studied by synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy.

Study on the Reaction of Proteins with 5＇-Nitrosalicylfluoronemolybdenum（VI） Complex by Spectrophotometry in PVA 124 Microemulsion

The application of 5′‐nitrosalicylfluorone (5′‐NSF)‐molybdenum(VI) complex as a spectroscopic probe was studied. In the buffer medium of HOAc‐NaOAc at 3.45 and in the presence of PVA 124 microemulsion, 5 '‐NSF‐Mo(VI) complex combines protein rapidly to form a stable compound. leading to an absorbance decrease at 525 nrn of 5′‐NSF‐Mo(VI) complex. According to this change, microdetermination of protein has been described. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) could be determined in the linear range of 0–16 pg*mL with the detection limit of 11 ng*mL^?1. Many amino acid and metal ions studied do not interfere with the assay. The method possesses high sensitivity as well as high selectivity. It can be used to determine protein in human urine and milk powder successfully. The relative standard deviations are in all instances less than 4.7%. and the recoveries are between 97.6% and 106.0%. Moreover, the binding number of BSA with the complex, which is determined by using molar ratio, Rosenthal graphic and slope ratio methods, is in good agreement with each other.     

Study on the Synergism Effect of Lomefloxacin and Ofloxacin for Bovine Serum Albumin in Solution by Spectroscopic Techniques

Both lomefloxacin (LOM) and ofloxacin (OFL) have a powerful ability to quench the fluorescence of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The fluorescence quenching action is much stronger when the two drugs coexist. The synergism between LOM and OFL was studied using fluorescence and ultraviolet spectroscopy under imitated physiological conditions. The results show that static quenching and non-radiation energy transfer are the main reasons for the fluorescence quenching. The synergism results in both the reduction of the binding stability between drugs and BSA and an increase of the free drug concentration, which will increase the efficacy of drugs. The thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures were calculated and the binding distances r between the drugs and BSA were obtained based on Försters theory of non-radiation energy transfer. The synchronous fluorescence spectra indicated that the effect of synergism affected the conformation of BSA.
