Soy protein isolate ameliorate gel properties by regulating the non-covalent interaction between epigallocatechin-3-gallate and myofibrillar protein. Food Chem 2024; 460:140655. [PMID: 39128365 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
This study primarily investigated the improvement of high-dose Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG)-induced deterioration of MP gel by soy protein isolate (SPI) addition. The results showed that EGCG could interact with MP, SPI, and HSPI (heated), indicating the competitive ability of SPI/HSPI against EGCG with MP. EGCG was encapsulated by SPI/HSPI with high encapsulation efficiency and antioxidation, with antioxidant activities of 78.5% ∼ 79.2%. FTIR and molecular docking results revealed that MP, SPI, and HSPI interacted with EGCG through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. SPI/HSPI competed with MP for EGCG, leading to the restoration of MHC and Actin bands, alleviating the aggregation caused by EGCG and oxidation. Additionally, SPI/HSPI-E significantly reduced the high cooking loss (23.71 and 26.65%) and gel strength (13.60 and 17.02%) induced by EGCG. Hence, SPI competed with MP for EGCG binding site to ameliorate MP gel properties, thereby alleviating the detrimental changes in MP caused by high-dose EGCG and oxidation.

Abstract
Albumin, being the most abundant serum protein, has the potential to significantly enhance the physicochemical properties of therapeutic payloads, thereby improving their pharmacological effects. Apart from its passive transport via the enhanced permeability and retention effect, albumin can actively accumulate in tumor microenvironments or inflammatory tissues via receptor-mediated processes. This unique property makes albumin a promising scaffold for targeted drug delivery. This review focuses on exploring different delivery strategies that combine albumin with drug payloads to achieve targeted therapy for inflammatory diseases. Also, albumin-derived therapeutic products on the market or undergoing clinical trials in the past decade have been summarized to gain insight into the future development of albumin-based drug delivery systems. Given the involvement of inflammation in numerous diseases, drug delivery systems utilizing albumin demonstrate remarkable advantages, including enhanced properties, improved in vivo behavior and efficacy. Albumin-based drug delivery systems have been demonstrated in clinical trials, while more advanced strategies for improving the capacity of drug delivery systems with the help of albumin remain to be discovered. This could pave the way for biomedical applications in more effective and precise treatments.

Abstract
The interaction between caffeic acid (CA) and pepsin was investigated using multi-spectroscopy approaches and molecular dynamic simulations (MDS). The effects of CA on the structure, stability, and activity of pepsin were studied. Fluorescence emission spectra and UV-vis absorption peaks all represented the static quenching mechanism of pepsin by CA. Moreover, the fluorescence spectra displayed that the interaction of CA exposed the tryptophan chromophores of pepsin to a more hydrophilic micro-environment. Consistent with the simulation results, thermodynamic parameters revealed that CA was bound to pepsin with a high binding affinity. The Van der Waals force and Hydrogen bond interaction were the dominant driving forces during the binding process. The circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy analysis showed that the CA binding to pepsin decreased the contents of α-Helix and Random Coil but increased the content of β-sheet in the pepsin structure. Accordingly, MD simulations confirmed all the experimental results. As a result, CA is considered an inhibitor with adverse effects on pepsin activity.

Abstract
Herein, we report a platform to integrate customizable quantities of catechol units into polymers by reacting caffeic acid carbonic anhydride with polymers having pendant amine groups. Brush poly(ethylene glycol)-caffeamide (PEG-CAF) copolymers based on oligo(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA500) were obtained with a catechol content of approximately 30, 40, and 50 mol % (vs OEGMA content). Owing to the hydrophobicity of the introduced CAF groups, the catechol copolymers exhibited cloud points in the range of 23-46 °C and were used to fabricate thermoresponsive FeIII metal-phenolic network capsules. Polymers with the highest CAF content (50 mol %) proved most effective for attenuating reactive oxygen species levels in vitro, in co-cultured fibroblasts, and breast cancer cells, even in the presence of an exogenous oxidant source. The reported approach to synthesize customizable catechol materials could be generalized to other amine-functional polymers, with potential biomedical applications such as adhesives or stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems.

Abstract
LS-102 is a new derivative of astragaloside IV (AGS IV) that has been shown to possess potentially significant cardioprotective effects. However, there are no reports concerning its interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) and toxicology in vertebrates. The present investigation was undertaken to characterize the interaction of AGS IV and LS-102 with HSA using equilibrium dialysis and UHPLC-MS/MS methods, along with computational methods. Notably, the effects of AGS IV and LS-102 were studied in vivo using the zebrafish embryo model. Markers related to embryonic cardiotoxicity and thrombosis were evaluated. We showed that the plasma protein binding rate of AGS IV (94.04%–97.42%) was significantly higher than that of LS-102 (66.90%–69.35%). Through site marker competitive experiments and molecular docking, we found that AGS IV and LS-102 were located at the interface of subdomains IIA and IIIA, but the site I might be the primary binding site. Molecular dynamics revealed that AGS IV showed a higher binding free energy mainly due to the stronger hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Moreover, the secondary structure implied no obvious effect on the protein structure and conformation during the binding of LS-102. LS-102 significantly ameliorated the astramizole-induced heart rate slowing, increased SV-BA spacing, and prevented arachidonic acid-induced thrombosis in zebrafish. To our knowledge, we are the first to reveal that LS-102 binds to HSA with reversible and moderate affinity, indicating its easy diffusion from the circulatory system to the target tissue, thereby providing significant insights into its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties when spread in the human body. Our results also provide a reference for the rational clinical application of LS-102 in the cardiovascular field.

Abstract
The binding of caffeic acid (CA) and/or (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) to lysozyme was investigated by multispectroscopic methods and molecular docking. The effects of the single and combined binding on the structure, activity and stability of lysozyme and the synergistic antioxidant activity of CA and ECG were also studied. Fluorescence quenching spectra, time-resolved fluorescence spectra, and UV-vis absorption difference spectra all ascertained the static quenching mechanism of lysozyme by CA/ECG. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that CA and ECG competitively bound to lysozyme, and CA had a stronger binding affinity, which was consistent with the results of molecular docking. Hydrogen bonding, van der Waals' force and electrostatic interaction were the main driving forces for the binding process. Synchronous fluorescence spectra displayed that the interaction of CA/ECG exposed the tryptophan residues of lysozyme to a more hydrophilic environment. Circular dichroism spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering indicated that the binding of CA and/or ECG to lysozyme resulted in the change of the secondary structure and increased the particle size of lysozyme. The binding of CA and/or ECG to lysozyme inhibited the enzyme activity and enhanced the thermal stability of lysozyme. The combined application of CA and ECG showed antioxidant synergy which was influenced by the encapsulation of lysozyme and cellular uptake. In summary, this work provides theoretical guidance for lysozyme as a carrier for the combined application of CA and ECG.

Abstract
Rosmarinic acid, a phytochemical compound, bears diverse pharmaceutical profile. It is composed by two building blocks: caffeic acid and a salvianic acid unit. The interaction profile, responsible for the delivery of rosmarinic acid and its two substructure components by serum albumin remains unexplored. To unveil this, we established a novel low-cost and efficient method to produce salvianic acid from the parent compound. To probe the interaction profile of rosmarinic acid and its two substructure constituents with the different serum albumin binding sites we utilised fluorescence spectroscopy and competitive saturation transfer difference NMR experiments. These studies were complemented with transfer NOESY NMR experiments. The thermodynamics of the binding profile of rosmarinic acid and its substructures were addressed using isothermal titration calorimetry. In silico docking studies, driven by the experimental data, have been used to deliver further atomic details on the binding mode of rosmarinic acid and its structural components.

Abstract
Drug molecule interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) affects the distribution and elimination of the drug. The compound, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) has been known for its antimicrobial, antiviral, antihelminthic and anticancer properties. However, its interaction with HSA is not yet reported. In this study, the interaction between HSA and DAPG was investigated through steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS). Fluorescence spectroscopy results showed the strong quenching of intrinsic fluorescence of HSA due to interaction with DAPG, through dynamic quenching mechanism. The compound bound to HSA with reversible and moderate affinity which explained its easy diffusion from circulatory system to target tissue. The thermodynamic parameters from fluorescence spectroscopic data clearly revealed the contribution of hydrophobic forces but, the role of hydrogen bonds was not negligible according to the ITC studies. The interaction was exothermic and spontaneous in nature. Binding with DAPG reduced the helical content of protein suggesting the unfolding of HSA. Site marker fluorescence experiments revealed the change in binding constant of DAPG in the presence of site I (warfarin) but not site II marker (ibuprofen) which confirmed that the DAPG bound to site I. ITC experiments also supported this as site I marker could not bind to HSA-DAPG complex while site II marker was accommodated in the complex. In silico studies further showed the lowest binding affinity and more stability of DAPG in site I than in site II. Thus the data presented in this study confirms the binding of DAPG to the site I of HSA which may help in further understanding of pharmacokinetic properties of DAPG.

Abstract
Lotus leaf has gained growing popularity as an ingredient in herbal formulations due to its various activities. As main functional components of lotus leaf, the difference in structure of flavonoids affected their binding properties and activities. In this paper, the existence of 11 flavonoids in lotus leaf extract was confirmed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis and 11 flavonoids showed various contents in lotus leaf. The interactions between lotus leaf extract and two kinds of serum albumins (human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA)) were investigated by spectroscopic methods. Based on the fluorescence quenching, the interactions between these flavonoids and serum albumins were further checked in detail. The relationship between the molecular properties of flavonoids and their affinities for serum albumins were analyzed and compared. The hydroxylation on 3 and 3’ position increased the affinities for serum albumins. Moreover, both of the methylation on 3’ position of quercetin and the C2=C3 double bond of apigenin and quercetin decreased the affinities for HSA and BSA. The glycosylation lowered the affinities for HSA and BSA depending on the type of sugar moiety. It revealed that the hydrogen bond force played an important role in binding flavonoids to HSA and BSA.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of polybrominated diphenyl ethers are important for modeling their transport, but these data are often missing. Here, satisfactory bioactivity results were obtained using human serum albumin as the carrier, 2,2',4,4',5,6'-hexabromodiphenyl ether (BDE154) and 3-hydroxy-2,2',4,4', 5,6'-hexabromodiphenyl ether (3OH-BDE154) as the ligands, using UV-visible absorbance, fluorescence, circular dichroism, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics methods. The interactions between human serum albumin and BDE154 or 3OH-BDE154 were verified, consistent with the static quenching procedure. At pH 7.4, the binding constants of the complexes for site I were relatively comparable and increased in the order BDE154<3OH-BDE154. Then, the secondary structure and kinetic parameters of albumin were analyzed using the circular dichroism spectra and GROMACS software. The data obtained from these simulations indicate that hydrophobic attraction might be the key factor for the stability of complexes. The docking experiments provided further insight into the hydrophobic pocket and showed that 3OH-BDE154 has a stronger binding affinity to human serum albumin than BDE154. The experimental spectral data were obtained and compared with the simulation results, showing good agreement. A detailed analysis of PBDEs-HSA interactions would provide valuable information to better understand the interaction on this class of compounds.

Abstract
Albumin-based nanoparticles (NPs) are a promising technology for developing drug-carrier systems, with improved deposition and retention profiles in lungs. Improved understanding of these drug–carrier interactions could lead to better drug-delivery systems. The present study combines computational and experimental methods to gain insights into the mechanism of binding of albuterol sulfate (AS) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the molecular level. Molecular dynamics simulation and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy were used to determine that there are two binding sites on BSA for AS: the first of which is a high-affinity site corresponding to AS1 and the second of which appears to represent the integrated functions of several low-affinity sites corresponding to AS2, AS3, and AS8. AS1 was the strongest binding site, established via electrostatic interaction with Glu243 and Asp255 residues in a hydrophobic pocket. Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges played a main role in the critical binding of AS1 to BSA, and water bridges served a supporting role. Based upon the interaction mechanism, BSA NPs loaded with AS were prepared, and their drug-loading efficiency, morphology, and -release profiles were evaluated. Successful clinical development of AS-BSA-NPs may improve therapy and prevention of bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease, and thus provide a solid basis for expanding the role of NPs in the design of new drug-delivery systems.
