Studies of Interaction between Ergosta‐4,6,8(14),22‐tetraen‐3‐one (Ergone) and Human Serum Albumin by Molecular Spectroscopy and Modeling

Our previous experimental results have shown that ergosta‐4,6,8(14),22‐tetraen‐3‐one (ergone) is one of the main bioactive components of Polyporus umbellatus. The efficacy of ergone binding to human serum albumin (HSA) is critical for pharmacokinetic behavior of ergone. The interactions between ergone and HSA under simulative physiological conditions were investigated by the methods of fluorescence spectroscopy, absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Fluorescence data revealed that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by ergone was the result of the formation of the ergone‐HSA complex. According to the modified Stern‐Volmer equation, the binding constants (K_a) between ergone and HSA were determined. The thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) for the reaction were calculated to be 0.989 kJ mol^‐1 and 11.214 J mol^‐1 K^‐1, indicating that the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions played a dominant role in the binding of ergone to HSA. The conformational investigation showed that the presence of ergone decreased the α‐helical content of HSA and induced the slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein. Furthermore, displacement experiments using warfarin and ibuprofen indicated that ergone could bind to site I of HSA, which was also in agreement with the results of the molecular modeling.     

In vitro study on the interaction between thiophanate methyl and human serum albumin

Thiophanate methyl (MT) is one of the widely used fungicides to control important fungal diseases of crops, which has led to potential toxicological risk to public health. Several different transport proteins exist in blood plasma, but albumin only is bound by a wide diversity of xenobiotics reversibly with high affinity. We studied the interaction of MT with human serum albumin by using spectroscopic methods including fluorescence quenching technology, UV and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy under simulative physiological conditions. The result of fluorescence titration revealed that MT could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA. The binding process was exothermic and spontaneous, as indicated by the thermodynamic analyses. In addition, the studies of FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the binding of MT to HSA changed molecular conformation of HSA. The results obtained from molecular modeling showed that the interaction between MT and HSA was dominated by hydrophobic force, and there was also hydrogen bond interaction between the pesticide and the residues of HSA, which was in good agreement with the result of binding mode.     

Interaction Between Toddalolatone and Human Serum Albumin

A combination of fluorescence, UV–Vis absorption, circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic and molecular modeling approaches was employed to investigate the interaction between toddalolactone (TDT) and human serum albumin (HSA) at physiological buffer conditions (pH 7.4). Fluorescence titration suggests that the mechanism of the fluorescence quenching of HSA is static, resulting from the formation of a TDT–HSA complex. Binding parameters calculated from the modified Stern–Volmer equation show that TDT binds to HSA with high affinity. Negative enthalpy change and positive entropy change values suggest that the binding process is primarily driven by hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. The binding of TDT to HSA results in an increase in the surface hydrophobicity of HSA. The binding distance between the Trp-214 residue (donor) and TDT (acceptor) was determined to be 4.18 nm based on the Förster theory of non-radioactive energy transfer. Displacement studies of site markers reveal that the binding site of TDT to HSA is located in the subdomain IIA (Sudlow’s site I). Furthermore, the molecular docking results corroborate and illustrate the specific binding mode and binding site. Analysis of UV–Vis absorption, CD and FT-IR spectra demonstrated that TDT induced a small alteration of the protein’s conformation.     

Studies on the interaction of caffeic acid with human serum albumin in membrane mimetic environments

In this work, fluorescence quenching technique, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique were used to gain the binding information of caffeic acid and human serum albumin (HSA) in AOT/isooctane/water microemulsions. The interaction of HSA with caffeic acid at 296, 303, and 310 K in omega(0) 20 microemulsions was characterized by one binding site with the affinity constant K at (3.23+/-0.01) x 10(4), (3.06+/-0.03) x 10(4) and (2.82+/-0.05) x 10(4)M(-1), respectively. The affinities in microemulsions are much higher than that in buffer solution. The CD spectra and FT-IR spectra with qualitative and quantitative results proved that the protein secondary structure changed in the microemulsions in the absence and presence of caffeic acid compared with the free form of HSA in buffer. The binding process was exothermic and spontaneous, as indicated by the thermodynamic analyses. These data indicated that hydrophobic interaction played a major role in the binding of caffeic acid to HSA in microemulsions and electrostatic interaction can not be excluded. The displacement experiments confirmed that caffeic acid could bind to the site I of HSA, which was in agreement with the result of the molecular modeling study. Furthermore, the DLS data suggested that HSA may locate at the interface of the microemulsion and caffeic acid could interact with them.

In addition, the studies of CD spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the binding of Puerarin to HSA changed slightly molecular conformation of HSA. Furthermore, the thermodynamic functions ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰ for the reaction were calculated to be −9.067 kJ mol⁻¹ and 54.315 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ according to van’t Hoff equation. These data suggested that both hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction play a major role in the binding of Puerarin to HSA, which is in good agreement with the result of molecular modeling study.
