Analysis of binding interaction between pegylated puerarin and bovine serum albumin by spectroscopic methods and dynamic light scattering

The interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and pegylated puerarin (Pur) in aqueous solution was investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectra (CD), as well as dynamic light scattering (DLS). The fluorescence of BSA was strongly quenched by the binding of pegylated Pur to BSA. The binding constants and the number of binding sites of mPEG(5000)-Pur with BSA were 2.67±0.12 and 1.37±0.05 folds larger after pegylating, which were calculated from the data obtained from fluorescence quenching experiments. The enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated to be 4.09 kJ mol(-1) and 20.01 J mol(-1) K(-1), respectively, according to Van't Hoff equation, indicating that the hydrophobic force plays a main role in the binding interaction between pegylated Pur and BSA. In addition, the negative sign for Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) implies that the interaction process is spontaneous. Moreover, the results of synchronous fluorescence and CD spectra demonstrated that the microenvironment and the secondary conformation of BSA were changed. Comparing with Pur, all our data collected indicated that pegylated Pur interacted with BSA in the same way as that of Pur, but docked into the hydrophobic pocket of BSA with more accessibility and stronger binding force. DLS measurements showed monomethoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) have an effect on BSA conformation, and revealed that changes in BSA size might be due to increases in binding constant and the absolute values of ΔG after Pur pegylation.     

Study of the interaction between 2,5-di-[2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)ethylene]-terephthalonitril and bovine serum albumin by fluorescence spectroscopy

A new compound, 2,5-di-[2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)ethylene]-terephthalonitrile (DHPEPN), was synthesized. The interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and DHPEPN in Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.4) was investigated using fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The mechanism of BSA fluorescence quenched by DHPEPN is discussed according to the Stern-Volmer equation. The binding constant and the thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔS, ΔG at different temperatures were calculated. The results indicate that the van der Waals interaction and hydrogen bonding play major roles in the binding process. The distance between BSA and DHPEPN is estimated to be 3.59 nm based on the F?rster resonance energy transfer theory. The spectral changes of synchronous fluorescence and three-dimensional fluorescence suggest that both of the microenvironment of DHPEPN and the conformation of BSA are changed during binding between DHPEPN and BSA.

The results of fluorescence titration reveal that RTX could strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via a static quenching procedure. The obtained binding constant K_A of RTX with BSA was 478630 and 44259 L/mol at 298 and 310 K, respectively. According to van’t Hoff equation, the thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG and ΔS were calculated, indicating that hydrophobic forces were the predominant intermolecular forces in stabilizing the complex. The binding process was a spontaneous process, in which Gibbs free energy change was negative. According to Förster’s non-radioactive energy transfer theory, the distance r between donor(BSA) and acceptor(RTX) was 3.82 nm, suggesting that the energy transfer from BSA to RTX occurred with high probability. Displacement experiment and the number of binding sites calculation confirmed that RTX could bind to the site-I of BSA. Furthermore, the effects of pH and some metal ions on the interaction of RTX with BSA were also investigated. The results of synchronous fluorescence and CD spectra show that the RTX-BSA binding induced conformational changes in BSA.     

Study of the interaction between N-confused porphyrin and bovine serum albumin by fluorescence spectroscopy

The fluorescence and ultraviolet spectroscopy were explored to study the interaction between N-confused porphyrins (NCP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under imitated physiological condition.

The binding constants, binding sites and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG were calculated at different temperatures. The comparison of binding potency of the three NCP to BSA showed that the substituting groups in benzene ring could enhance the binding affinity. From the thermodynamic parameters, we concluded that the action force was mainly hydrophobic interaction. The binding distances between NCP and BSA were calculated using F?rster non-radiation energy transfer theory. In addition, the effect of NCP on the conformation of BSA was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

Spectroscopic studies on in vitro binding of cefixime and tolcapone drugs with serum albumin

The interaction between cefixime (antibacterial) and tolcapone (Parkinson’s disease) drugs with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using several spectroscopic techniques viz. UV–Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism. The thermodynamic parameters of the interactions were calculated, which indicated that the binding processes are spontaneous and H-bonding and van der Waals forces play a major role in BSA–cefixime interaction and hydrophobic interactions dominate BSA–tolcapone complexation. Cefixime quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA by dynamic process while tolcapone through static process. The binding constant of the BSA–tolcapone complex (10⁷ L mol^?1) is found to be relatively higher than that of BSA–cefixime complex (10⁴ L mol^?1). The binding distance between BSA and cefixime and tolcapone is calculated to be 3.3 and 4.2 nm, respectively. Both fluorescence and circular dichrosim spectral studies confirmed conformational changes in BSA upon binding with these drugs. Molecular docking studies suggest the possible binding sites in the protein molecule.'     

Interaction Between Ranitidine Hydrochloride and Bovine Serum Albumin in Aqueous Solution

The interaction between ranitidine hydrochloride (RAN) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was investigated by means of fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The fluorescence of BSA was quenched remarkably by RAN and the quenching mechanism was concluded to be static quenching. The binding constants K and the number of binding sites n were calculated at three different temperatures. The RAN–BSA binding distance was determined to be less than 8 nm, suggesting that energy transfer may occur from BSA to RAN. The interaction process is spontaneous. Based on the obtained thermodynamic parameters, electrostatic forces may play a major role in this process. In addition, the effect of RAN on the conformation of BSA was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectra.     

Effect of pH on the interaction of vitamin B12 with bovine serum albumin by spectroscopic approaches

The interaction mechanism between vitamin B12 (B12, cyanocobalamin) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated by fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, ultraviolet-vis (UV) absorbance, and three-dimensional fluorescence. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was strongly quenched by the addition of B12 in different pH buffer solutions (pH 2.5, 3.5, 5.0, 7.4, and 9.0) and spectroscopic observations are mainly rationalized in terms of a static quenching process at lower concentration of B12 (C(B12)/C(BSA)<5) and a combined quenching process at higher concentration of B12 (C(B12)/C(BSA)>5). The structural characteristics of B12 and BSA were probed, and their binding affinities were determined under different pH conditions. The results indicated that the binding abilities of B12 to BSA in the acidic and basic pH regions (pH 2.5, 3.5, 5.0, and 9.0) were lower than that at simulating physiological condition (pH 7.4). In addition, the efficiency of energy transfer from tryptophan fluorescence to B12 was found to depend on the binding distance r between the donor and acceptor calculated using F?rster's theory. The effect of B12 on the conformation of BSA was analyzed using UV, synchronous fluorescence and three-dimensional fluorescence under different pH conditions. These results showed that the binding of B12 to BSA causes apparent change in the secondary and tertiary structures of BSA.

The effect of Cu2+ or Fe3+ on the noncovalent binding of rutin with bovine serum albumin by spectroscopic analysis

The interaction of rutin to bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was investigated by fluorescence spectra and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra at pH 7.40. There are also some metal ions present in blood plasma, thus the research about the effect of metal ions on the interaction of drugs with proteins is crucial. Therefore, we have studied the effect of Cu2+ or Fe3+ on the interaction between rutin and BSA by using spectroscopic technique at pH 7.40, for the first time. The results of fluorescence titration indicated that rutin could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA in a static quenching way. The binding sites number (n), the binding constant (K) and the spatial-distance (r) of rutin with BSA without or with Cu2+ or Fe3+ at 310 K were calculated. The result showed that the presence of Cu2+ or Fe3+ increased the binding constant and changed the binding distance between the acceptor and the donor, which possibly results from the formation of metal ions-BSA complex. The effect of rutin on the conformation of BSA was also analyzed using UV under experimental conditions. Furthermore, the fluorescence displacement experiments indicated that rutin is situated within subdomain IIA of BSA.
