Effects of synthetic food colorants on the interaction between norfloxacin and bovine serum albumin by fluorescence spectroscopy

Abstract  

The effects of synthetic food colorants like tartrazine, sunset yellow, and erythrosine on the binding reaction between norfloxacin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Results showed that food colorants bound to BSA by van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding formation and norfloxacin by electrostatic interaction. In addition, marker competitive experiments suggested that the primary binding site for both norfloxacin and food colorants was located at subdomain IIA of BSA (site I). The presence of food colorants could alter the binding constant and distance between BSA and norfloxacin. The effects of colorants were dependent on their concentrations and binding affinity to BSA. The interaction could result in the change of the free, biologically active fraction of norfloxacin in blood.     

Comparative studies on biophysical interactions between 4-dicyanomethylene-2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran (DDP) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) via photophysical approaches and molecular docking techniques

Photophysical studies of 4-Dicyanomethylene-2,6-Dimethyl-4H-Pyran (DDP) dye with globular proteins, Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) were carried out in aqueous solution. An isosbestic point resulted on the addition of serum albumins, which signifies a complex or an equilibrium state of DDP dye with albumin. Addition of BSA to DDP dye results in a fluorescence enhancement accompanied with a significant hypsochromic shift, whereas with that of HSA, a fluorescence quenching with a considerable blue shift resulted. Excited state studies of DDP dye with serum albumins portray that the role of binding sites of dye with albumins vary considerably and the nature of interaction is presumably attributed to combined hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Molecular docking studies of DDP dye with albumins and two other derivatives 4-(Dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) dye and 4-(Dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-t-buyl)-4H-pyran (DCT) dyes with BSA and HSA elucidates that the hydrogen-bonding interaction accompanied with several hydrophobic, pi–pi an pi–alkyl interactions coexist between dye and albumins. The binding energy, intermolecular energy and stability of the DDP, DCM and DCT dyes through docking techniques with albumins authenticate that the dye predominantly acts as hydrogen-bonding acceptor site and the protein molecule as the donor. DDP dye prefers to exist in four different binding sites of HSA, whereas, in the case of BSA, the most preferred site is found to be hydrophobic domain (site I). Interestingly, the most preferred site of DCT dye is III A subdomain of HSA, whereas DCM dye is oriented towards I B subdomain. DDP and DCT are smaller in size and reside in the domain preferred for smaller ligands (II A and IIIA) as resulted in several drugs-HSA interaction whereas DCM dye which is categorized as medium to larger ligand based on the extended structure resides in the most favoured site IB. Fluorescence techniques in combination with molecular docking methods elucidate binding characteristics and the domain in which the dye resides in a micro heterogeneous environment is established in this study.     

Binding equilibrium study between Mn( Ⅱ ) and HSA or BSA

The binding of Mn( Ⅱ ) to human serum albumin (HSA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied by equilibrium dialysis at physiological pH (7. 43). The Scatchard analysis indicates that there are 1.8 and 1.9 strong binding sites of Mn( Ⅱ ) in HSA and BSA, respectively. The successive stability constants which are reported for the first time are obtained by non-linear least-squares methods fitting Bjerrum formula. For both Mn( Ⅱ )-HSA and Mn( Ⅱ )-BSA systems, the order of magnitude of K1 was found to be 104. The analyses of Hill plots and free energy coupling show that the positive cooperative effect was found in both Mn( Ⅱ )-HSA and Mn( Ⅱ )-BSA systems . The results of Mn ( Ⅱ ) competing with Cu ( Ⅱ ) 、 Zn(Ⅱ)、Cd( Ⅱ) or Ca( Ⅱ ) to bind to HSA or BSA further support the conjecture that there are two strong binding sites of Mn( Ⅱ) in both HSA and BSA. One is most probably located at the tripeptide segment of N- terminal sequence of HSA and BSA molecules involving four groups composed of n

Spectroscopic Investigation of the Interactions of Cryptotanshinone and Icariin with Two Serum Albumins

The interactions of two drugs, cryptotanshinone (CTS) and icariin, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) have been investigated using multiple spectroscopic techniques under imitated physiological conditions. CTS and icariin can quench the fluorescence intensity of BSA/HSA by a static quenching mechanism with complex formation. The binding constants of CTS–BSA, CTS–HSA, icariin–BSA and icariin–HSA complexes were observed to be 1.67 × 10⁴, 4.04 × 10⁴, 4.52 × 10⁵ and 4.20 × 10⁵ L·mol^?1, respectively at 298.15 K. The displacement experiments suggested icariin/CTS are primarily bound to tryptophan residues of the proteins within site I and site II. The thermodynamic parameters calculated on the basis of the temperature dependence of the binding constants revealed that the binding of CTS–BSA/HSA mainly depends on van der Waals interaction and hydrogen bonds, and yet the binding of icariin–HSA/BSA strongly relies on the hydrophobic interactions. The binding distances between BSA/HSA and CTS/icariin were evaluated by the Föster non-radiative energy transfer theory. The results of synchronous fluorescence, 3D fluorescence, FT-IR and CD spectra indicates that the conformations of proteins were altered with the addition of CTS or icariin. In addition, the effects of some common ions on the binding constants of CTS/icariin to proteins are also discussed.

Terbium(III) as fluorescence probe in the study of the interaction of rare earth and transition metal ions with concanavalin A

The binding site for calcium (II) on concanavalin A (con-A) can be occupied by rare earth ions. When terbium (III) ion binds to con-A, its fluorescence intensity is tremendously enhanced because of an energy transfer from one or more tryptophan residues in close proximity to the bound terbium (III). The dissociation constant of the con-A-Tb (III) complex is 8.90 × 10^?6M, obtained from terbium (III) fluorescence titration with con-A. The dissociation constant of the complexes of con-A with other rare earth and transition metal ions was obtained through their competition with terbium (III) in the reaction with con-A, i. e. the quenching of con-A enhanced fluorescence. The results indicate that the binding of rare earth ions with con-A is dependent not only on their ionic radius but also on the hard-soft acid-base strength of the metal ions.     

La(Ⅲ)与HSA或BSA的结合平衡研究

Energy transfer photophysics from serum albumins to sequestered 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, an excited state intramolecular proton-transfer probe

The steady-state and time-resolved studies of the sensitized emission of the excited-state proton transfer (ESIPT) probe 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (3HNA) when bound to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) indicate that the nonradiative dipole-dipole F?rster type energy transfer from Trp singlet state of proteins to the ESIPT singlet state of 3HNA is greater in the case of HSA. This is supported by the distance and the orientation of the donor-acceptor pair obtained from the protein-ligand docking studies. The docking studies of the complex of BSA-3HNA also indicate that Trp 134 rather than Trp 213 is involved in the energy transfer process. The local environment of Trp 134 in BSA rather than that of Trp 213 is perturbed because of interaction with 3HNA as revealed by the optical resolution of Trp 134 phosphorescence in the complex at 77 K. Docking studies support the larger rotational correlation time, thetac (approximately 50 ns), observed for Trp residue/residues in the complexes of HSA and BSA compared with that in the free proteins.     

Synthesis and infrared and fluorescence spectral properties of luminescent terbium and europium complexes with open-chain carboxylate crown ethers

Two open-chain carboxylate crown ether ligands and their terbium(III) and europium(III) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The terbium and europium ions were found to coordinate to the carboxylate oxygens. The fluorescence properties of europium complexes in the solid state and terbium complexes in the solid state and in the organic solvent were studied in detail, respectively. Under the excitation of ultraviolet light, strong green fluorescence of solid terbium complexes and red fluorescence of solid europium complexes were observed. These observations show that the two ligands favor energy transfer to the emitting energy level of Tb(3+). Some factors that influencing the fluorescent intensity were also discussed.     

Study of interaction of proton transfer probe 1-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde with serum albumins: a spectroscopic study

In the present work, we have studied the interaction of proton transfer probe 1-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (HN12) with Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) by steady state absorption and emission spectroscopy combined with time resolved fluorescence measurements. The measured binding constant (K) and free energy change (DeltaG) indicate a stronger affinity of HN12 molecule for HSA than BSA. Steady state anisotropy, excitation anisotropy and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies indicate that the probe molecule resides at the hydrophobic site of the protein environment.     

Probing three-dimensional structure of bovine serum albumin by chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry

Serum albumin is the principal transporter of fatty acids that are otherwise insoluble in circulating plasma. While the crystal structure of human serum albumin (HSA) as well as its binding with fatty acids has been characterized, the three dimensional structure of bovine serum albumin (BSA) has not been determined although both albumins share 76% sequence homology. In this study we used mass spectrometry coupled with chemical cross-linking, to probe the tertiary structure of BSA. BSA was modified with lysine specific cross-linkers, bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate (BS(3)), disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) or disuccinimidyl glutarate (DSG), digested with trypsin and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. With O-18 labeling during the digestion, through-space cross-linked peptides were readily identified in mass spectra by a characteristic 8 Da shift. From the cross-linked peptides identified in this study, we found that 12 pairs of lysine residues were separated within 20 A, while 5 pairs were spaced between 20 and 24 A. The spatial distance constraints generated from five K-K pairs in BSA were consistent with the corresponding distance obtained from the crystal structure of HSA, although only six equivalent K-K pairs could be compared. According to our data, the distance between K235 of IIA and K374 of IIB domain in BSA was farther by 7-11 A than that expected from the crystal structure of HSA, suggesting structural differences between BSA and HSA in this region. The distance constraints obtained for lysine residues using various cross-linkers should be valuable in assisting the determination of the 3-D structure of BSA.

Spectroscopic characterization of effective components anthraquinones in Chinese medicinal herbs binding with serum albumins

The interactions of serum albumins such as human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) with emodin, rhein, aloe-emodin and aloin were assessed employing fluorescence quenching and absorption spectroscopic techniques. The results obtained revealed that there are relatively strong binding affinity for the four anthraquinones with HSA and BSA and the binding constants for the interactions of anthraquinones with HSA or BSA at 20 degrees C were obtained. Anthraquinone-albumin interactions were studied at different temperatures and in the presence of some metal ions. And the competition binding of anthraquinones with serum albumins was also discussed. The Stern-Volmer curves suggested that the quenching occurring in the reactions was the static quenching process. The binding distances and transfer efficiencies for each binding reactions were calculated according to the F?ster theory of non-radiation energy transfer. Using thermodynamic equations, the main action forces of these reactions were also obtained. The reasons of the different binding affinities for different anthraquinone-albumin reactions were probed from the point of view of molecular structures.     

Synthesis and properties of fluorescent cotton cellulose labeled with norfloxacin

To expand the application of cellulose in the field of fluorescence techniques, the cotton cellulose was labeled with norfloxacin (Cell-NF) via a three-step reaction, involving alkali treatment, epoxy activation, and opening of the epoxy rings with norfloxacin molecules. And the coordination complexes of Cell-NF with rare earth ions terbium (Cell-NF-Tb) and europium (Cell-NF-Eu) were obtained. The products were detected by IR, TG, XPS, UV and fluorescence spectra. Results showed that the norfloxacin content of the labeled cellulose was about 6.73 w% and the start temperature of decomposition of the Cell-NF was raised by 40°C compared with the stock cotton cellulose. When excited at 340 nm, the Cell-NF, Cell-NF-Tb, and Cell-NF-Eu in the solid state could emit violet (430 nm), green (549 nm) and red (620 nm) light, respectively.     

Chlorpromazine interactions to sera albumins. A study by the quenching of fluorescence

Binding of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and hemin (Hmn) to human (HSA) and bovine (BSA) serum albumin was studied by fluorescence quenching technique. Intrinsic fluorescences of BSA and HSA were measured by selectively exciting their tryptophan residues. Gradual quenching was observed by titration of both proteins with CPZ and Hmn. CPZ is a widely used anti-psychosis drug that causes severe side effects and strongly interacts with biomembranes, both in its lipidic and proteic regions. CPZ also interacts with blood components, influences bioavailability, and affects the function of several biomolecules. Albumin plays an important role in the transport and storage of hormones, ions, fatty acids and others substances, including CPZ, affecting the regulation of their plasmatic concentration. Hmn is an important ferric residue of hemoglobin that binds within the hydrophobic region of albumin with great specificity. Hmn added to HSA and BSA solutions at a molar ratio of 1:1 quenched about half of their fluorescence. Stern-Volmer plots obtained from experiments carried out at 25 and 35 degrees C showed the quenching of fluorescence of HSA and BSA by CPZ to be a collisional phenomenon. Hmn quenches fluorescence by a static process, which specifically indicates the formation of a complex. Our results suggest the prime binding site for CPZ and Hmn on both HSA and BSA to be near tryptophan residues.     

VISIBLE LIGHT IRRADIATION OF HUMAN AND BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN-BILIRUBIN COMPLEX*

Abstract— The UV absorption and the fluorescence emission spectra of both bovine (BSA) and human (HSA) serum albumin underwent noticeable changes upon irradiation of their 1:1 complexes with bilirubin; both these phenomena are suggestive of the photosensitized modification of aromatic amino acid residues. Amino acid analysis showed that after relatively short irradiation times of both albumins, only histidyl and tryptophyl residues appeared to be affected to a significant extent. After 60min of irradiation, some decrease in the tyrosine content was also observed, especially for HSA.
Conformational studies, obtained by exposing unirradiated and irradiated BSA and HSA to denaturing agents, showed that the three-dimensional organization of the 15 min irradiated samples was slightly different from that of the native proteins. On the other hand, after 15 min of irradiation, the association constant of the bilirubin-albumin complexes decreased from 2.07 to 0.54×10⁸ M ^-1 for HSA and from 2.16 to 0.87×10⁷ M ^-1 for BSA.
These data indicate that the histidyl residues are relatively unimportant for maintaining the native tertiary structure of BSA and HSA, but they are critical for determining the binding capacity of the albumins. Our data also imply that the tertiary structure of the BSA molecule is more labile than that of HSA.
