Influence of para-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives with different push/pull electron strength groups on the conformation of human serum albumin and toxicological effects in zebrafish. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131246. [PMID: 38554915 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131246] [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: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Excessive intake of benzaldehyde and its derivatives can cause irreversible damage to living organisms. Hence, benzaldehyde derivatives with different para-substitutions of push/pull electronic groups were chosen to investigate the effect of different substituent properties on the structure of human serum albumin (HSA). The binding constants, number of binding sites, major interaction forces, protein structural changes, and binding sites of benzaldehyde (BzH) and its derivatives (4-BzHD) with HSA in serum proteins were obtained based on multispectral and molecular docking techniques. The mechanism of BzH/4-BzHD interaction on HSA is mainly static quenching and is accompanied by the formation of a ground state complex. BzH/4-BzHD is bound to HSA in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. The interaction forces for the binding of BzH/4-BzHD to HSA are mainly hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction, which are also accompanied by a small amount of electrostatic interactions. The effect of BzH/4-BzHD on HSA conformation follows: 4-Diethylaminobenzaldehyde (4-DBzH) > 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde (4-NBzH) > 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HBzH) > 4-Acetaminobenzaldehyde (4-ABzH) > BzH, which means that the stronger push/pull electronic strength of the para-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives has a greater effect on HSA conformation. Furthermore, the concentration-lethality curves of different concentrations for BzH/4-BzHD on zebrafish verified above conclusion. This work provides a scientific basis for the risk assessment of benzaldehyde and its derivatives to the ecological environment and human health and for the environmental toxicological studies of benzaldehyde derivatives with different strengths of push/pull electron substitution.

Abstract
A drug-delivery system consisting of an inorganic host-layered double hydroxide (LDH)-and an anticancer drug-methotrexate (MTX)-was prepared via the intercalation route (MTX-LDH), and its hematocompatibility was investigated. Hemolysis, a red blood cell counting assay, and optical microscopy revealed that the MTX-LDH had no harmful toxic effect on blood cells. Both scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy exhibited that the MTX-LDH particles softly landed on the concave part inred blood cells without serious morphological changes of the cells. The time-dependent change in the surface charge and hydrodynamic radius of MTX-LDH in the plasma condition demonstrated that the proteins can be gently adsorbed on the MTX-LDH particles, possibly through protein corona, giving rise to good colloidal stability. The fluorescence quenching assay was carried out to monitor the interaction between MTX-LDH and plasma protein, and the result showed that the MTX-LDH had less dynamic interaction with protein compared with MTX alone, due to the capsule moiety of the LDH host. It was verified by a quartz crystal microbalance assay that the surface interaction between MTX-LDH and protein was reversible and reproducible, and the type of protein corona was a soft one, having flexibility toward the biological environment.

Abstract
Plant-derived phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PhG NPs) have the advantages of size uniformity, dispersibility in water, excellent lubrication properties, and lack of cytotoxicity; however, their chemical functionalization may lead to loss of NP structural integrity. Here, we report a straightforward approach to the generation of PhG NP conjugates with biologically active molecules. Hydrogen bonding of bovine serum albumin with electroneutral PhG NPs endows them with additional ligand binding affinity and enables the electrostatically governed attachment of methotrexate (MTX), a therapeutic agent commonly used in the treatment of cancer and arthritis diseases, to the protein-capped NPs. We showed stimuli-responsive release of MTX from the PhG-based nanoconjugates under physiological cues such as temperature and ionic strength. The results of this study stimulate future exploration of biomedical applications of nanoconjugates of PhG NPs.

Abstract
Effect of the photodegradation of chemotherapeutic agent methotrexate on the denaturation of human serum albumin has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry and fluorimetric measurements. Photoluminescence studies highlighted entropy driven binding of both methotrexate molecules and its degradation products to the albumin molecules. The calorimetric measurements evaluated by the Kissinger method show elevated activation energy in the presence of methotrexate. Similar but moderated enhancement of the activation energy was obtained in the presence of the photodegradation products of methotrexate. These results highlight stabilization of the human serum albumin by the methotrexate drug which finding may contribute to fine tuning of methotrexate applications in therapy.

Abstract
Natural polyphenols showing a variety of beneficial effects will interact with multiple proteases after administration. The interactions of oxyresveratrol and piceatannol with trypsin and lysozyme were investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and molecular docking. Fluorescence quenching results and UV-vis absorption difference spectra revealed that the quenching process was a static mode initiated by ground-state complex formation. The different binding ability of oxyresveratrol and piceatannol with trypsin and lysozyme was discussed based on their different molecular structures. Moreover, the major driving force for the binding process was elucidated as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces by the negative enthalpy and entropy changes. Synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence and circular dichroism spectral analysis suggested that the binding of oxyresveratrol and piceatannol to trypsin and lysozyme induced some microenvironmental and conformational changes of the two enzymes. The thermal stability of the enzymes in the presence of polyphenols was studied based on the change in melting temperature by differential scanning calorimetry. The above experimental results were validated by the protein-ligand docking studies which showed the location of the two ligands in the enzymes and the surrounding amino acid residues. Furthermore, enzyme activity assays indicated that the enzymatic activity of trypsin and lysozyme was inhibited by oxyresveratrol and piceatannol. The effect of trypsin and lysozyme on the antioxidant activity and stability of oxyresveratrol and piceatannol was also investigated. In conclusion, the comparative study on the interaction of oxyresveratrol and piceatannol with trypsin and lysozyme showed that the positions of hydroxyl groups of the polyphenols had an important influence on their interaction with enzymes and their antioxidant activity and stability as well as the enzyme activities. The obtained results are expected to provide a theoretical basis for the application of polyphenols in functional foods and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The individual and combined interactions of bisphenol F and piceatannol with pepsin were investigated using spectroscopic methods (fluorescence, UV-vis absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopy), combined with isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking. Thermodynamic data showed that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces might play a major role for the binding process. Site marking experiments and molecular docking confirmed the binding sites of these two ligands on pepsin. The discrepancy in the binding constant between the binary and ternary systems indicated the competitive binding of piceatannol and bisphenol F to pepsin. Circular dichroism spectra studies suggested that the binding of the two ligands led to a loosening of pepsin backbone. Enzyme activity assays indicated that the inhibition of pepsin activity by piceatannol and bisphenol F was competitive. These results will be helpful to understand the mechanism of piceatannol and bisphenol F affecting the activity of digestive proteases in the sight of the food security.

Abstract
Organochalcogen (S/Se) functionalized chrysin derivatives were synthesized and coordinated with RuII(η6-p-cymene) to efficiently form ruthenium-based chemotherapeutic drug entities [C31H35O4SRuCl]; [C31H35O4SeRuCl]; [C33H31O4SRuCl]; and [C33H31O4SeRuCl]. The complexes were thoroughly characterized by analytical and various spectroscopic techniques which include elemental analysis, UV-vis, IR, NMR (1H, 13C, and 77Se NMR), and HR-MS. The interaction studies of these Ru(II) complexes were carried out with CT DNA/HSA by employing UV-vis, fluorescence and circular dichroic techniques in view to examine their chemotherapeutic potential. The complexes demonstrated predominant binding toward CTDNA via electrostatic interaction while, the extent of binding was quantified by calculating intrinsic binding constant (Kb) and binding constant (K) values which revealed higher binding affinity of selenium-based chrysin complexes as compared to their thio-analogs, following the order [C31H35O4SeRuCl] > [C33H31O4SeRuCl] > [C31H35O4SRuCl] > [C33H31O4SRuCl]. Moreover, interaction of these complexes with human serum albumin (HSA) was also investigated which suggested spontaneous interactions of complexes with the protein by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. To visualize the preferential binding sites and affinity of complexes with DNA and HSA molecular docking studies were performed. Additionally, in vitro anticancer activity of the complexes were evaluated by SRB assay on selected cancer cell lines viz., HeLa (cervical), MIA-PA-CA-2 (pancreatic), MCF-7 (breast), Hep-G2 (Hepatoma), and SK-OV-3 (ovarian) which exhibited the superior cytotoxicity of complex [C31H35O4SeRuCl] as compared to other analogs on selective cancer phenotypes.

Abstract
Cephalosporins belong the largest class of antibiotics used in the treatment of a wide range of infectious diseases caused by susceptible organisms. In the present study, we chose two typical antibiotics cefalexin/cefixime based on their structure, and investigated the interaction of cephalexin/cefixime with bovine serum albumin (BSA) using UV-vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and molecular modeling approaches. Spectroscopic experiments revealed the formation of a BSA - cefalexin/cefixime complex. The binding parameters calculated using a modified Stern - Volmer method and the Scatchard method reached 103 -104 L·mol-1 . Thermodynamic parameter studies revealed that binding characteristics by negative enthalpy and positive entropy changes, and electrostatic interactions play a major role. Site marker competitive displacement experiments and molecular modeling approaches demonstrated that cefalexin and cefixime bind with appropriate affinity to site I (subdomain IIA) of BSA. Furthermore, synchronous fluorescence spectra, CD spectra and molecular modeling results indicated that the secondary structure of BSA was changed in the presence of cefalexin and cefixime. Additionally, the effects of metal ions on the BSA - cefalexin/cefixime system were also assessed.
