Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent chronic neurodegenerative disorders globally, with a rapidly growing population of AD patients and currently no effective therapeutic interventions available. Consequently, the development of therapeutic anti-AD drugs and the identification of AD targets represent one of the most urgent tasks. In this study, in addition to considering known drugs and targets, we explore compound-protein interactions (CPIs) between compounds and proteins relevant to AD. We propose a deep learning model called CKG-IMC to predict Alzheimer's disease compound-protein interaction relationships. CKG-IMC comprises three modules: a collaborative knowledge graph (CKG), a principal neighborhood aggregation graph neural network (PNA), and an inductive matrix completion (IMC). The collaborative knowledge graph is used to learn semantic associations between entities, PNA is employed to extract structural features of the relationship network, and IMC is utilized for CPIs prediction. Compared with a total of 16 baseline models based on similarities, knowledge graphs, and graph neural networks, our model achieves state-of-the-art performance in experiments of 10-fold cross-validation and independent test. Furthermore, we use CKG-IMC to predict compounds interacting with two confirmed AD targets, 42-amino-acid β-amyloid (Aβ42) protein and microtubule-associated protein tau (tau protein), as well as proteins interacting with five FDA-approved anti-AD drugs. The results indicate that the majority of predictions are supported by literature, and molecular docking experiments demonstrate a strong affinity between the predicted compounds and targets.

Basheeruddin M, Qausain S. Significantly Positive Impact of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs Combined With Osmoprotectant (Osmolytes) in Cancer Treatment. Cureus 2024; 16:e63529. [PMID: 39086782 PMCID: PMC11290388 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.63529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Osmoprotectant osmolyte and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) coadministration can work synergistically in cancer chemotherapy since most tumors are inflammatory and cancer cells experience osmotic stress. NSAIDs have been shown to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which in turn reduces prostaglandin synthesis and prevents inflammation. They also encourage cell death to prevent tumor growth and its spread to other tissues and prevent the construction of new blood vessels, which contributes to the growth of cancer. Taurine belongs to the class of osmolytes since it has been shown to stabilize macromolecular structures and maintain cellular osmotic balance when combined with betaine and glycine. When these drugs are taken together, as opposed to separately, the effectiveness of cancer treatment is increased by increasing cancer cell death and suppressing tumor growth. Notable therapeutic benefits include the reduction of local inflammatory milieu by NSAIDs, which promotes tumor development, and the protection of surviving, normal cells and tissues from treatment-induced damage caused by cancer. By enhancing this synergy, side-effect risk can be decreased and treatment outcomes improved in terms of quality. Put another way, peptides can increase the therapeutic index of NSAIDs in cancer patients by preventing cell damage, which may lessen the gastrointestinal (GI), cardiovascular (CV), and renal side effects of the drug. However, there are drawbacks because using NSAIDs for an extended period of time is linked to serious side effects that call for strict supervision. More research is required because the usefulness and significance of osmolytes in cancer therapy are still very unclear, if not fragmented. In addition, people who live in places with limited resources may find it difficult to afford the possible expenditures associated with osmolytes and selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. Only the molecular mechanisms of the two drugs' interactions, the appropriate dosages for combination therapy, and clinical trials to validate the efficacy and safety of this dosage should be the focus of future research. The request is inviting because it presents hope for an extremely successful antiviral strategy; nevertheless, in order to implement this approach successfully, it is likely to be necessary to create affordable formulations and scalable solutions that do not necessitate excessive treatment regimen individualization. Due to their complementary capacities to demonstrate anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects, Akta and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) administration may thus represent a significant advancement in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
The binding affinity to human serum albumin (HSA) of a series of fourteen synthetic cathinones, new psychoactive substances widely abused, was investigated by high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). Zonal elution experiments were conducted to measure the retention times of each synthetic cathinone on an HSA column, which enabled the calculation of the percentage of the drug bound. For some synthetic cathinones, enantioselectivity on HSA was found. To gather information on the HSA binding sites and better understand the chiral recognition mechanisms, enantioresolution of selected cathinones was carried out at a milligram scale through liquid chromatography (LC) with carbamate polysaccharide-based columns. This work was followed by zonal displacement chromatography using known competitors with specific binding sites on HSA, namely (S)-ibuprofen and warfarin. Competition was observed between the tested drugs and both competitors (except for pentedrone with warfarin), which is consistent with an allosteric competition involving a non-cooperative binding mechanism.

Abstract
Reversible interactions between drugs and humic acid in water can be an important factor in determining the bioavailability and effects of these pharmaceuticals as micropollutants in the environment. In this study, microcolumns containing entrapped humic acid were used in high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) to examine the binding of this agent with the drugs tetracycline, carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, and norfloxacin. Parameters that were varied to optimize the entrapment of humic acid within HPLC-grade porous silica included the starting concentration of humic acid, the mass ratio of humic acid vs silica, and the method of mixing the reagents with the support for the entrapment process. The highest retention for the tested drugs was obtained when using supports that were prepared using an initial humic acid concentration of 80 mg mL-1 and a humic acid vs silica mass ratio of 600 mg per g silica, along with preincubation of the humic acid with hydrazide-activated silica before the addition of a capping agent (i.e., oxidized glycogen). Characterization of the humic acid support was also carried out by means of TGA, FTIR, SEM, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The binding constants measured by HPAC for the given drugs with entrapped Aldrich humic acid gave good agreement with values reported in the literature under similar pH and temperature conditions for this and other forms of humic acid. Besides providing valuable data on the binding strength of various drugs with humic acid, this work illustrates how HPAC may be used as an analytical tool for screening and characterizing the interactions of drugs and man-made contaminants with humic acid or related binding agents in water and the environment.

Abstract
High-performance affinity microcolumns were used to characterize binding by the anti-diabetic drugs repaglinide and nateglinide with normal and glycated forms of human serum albumin. The microcolumns contained only nmol amounts of protein and provided a detailed analysis of these drug interactions with good precision and in a matter of minutes per experiment. The overall binding by repaglinide to normal and glycated albumin fits a model with two types of binding sites: a set of one or two moderate-to-high affinity regions and a larger set of weaker regions with association equilibrium constants of ∼105 and 103 M-1 , respectively, at pH 7.4 and 37°C. Competition studies gave site-specific association constants for repaglinide and nateglinide at Sudlow site I of 4.2 × 104 and 5.0 × 104 M-1 for normal albumin, with a decrease of 26%-30% being seen for nateglinide with glycated albumin and no significant change being noted for repaglinide. At Sudlow site II, repaglinide and nateglinide had association constants for normal albumin of 6.1 × 104 and 7.1 × 105 M-1 , with glycated albumin giving an increase in the association constant at this site for repaglinide of 1.6- to 1.8-fold and a decrease for nateglinide of 51%-58%.

Abstract
In this study, we have shown the interaction between opium poppy alkaloid noscapine-based ionic liquid [Pip-Nos]OTf and ct-DNA using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, CD, and computational studies. The absorption spectra showed a hypochromic shift with no shift in the absorption maxima suggesting groove or electrostatic binding. Fluorescence spectra showed an enhancement in fluorescence emission suggesting that the probable mode of binding should be groove binding. Ethidium bromide (EB) competitive and Ionic strength study showed the absence of intercalative and electrostatic modes of interaction. Further, CD analysis of ct-DNA suggested a groove binding mode of interaction of [Pip-Nos]OTf with ct-DNA. [Pip-Nos]OTf displayed a strong binding with the target ct-DNA with a molecular docking score of -41.47 kJ/mol with all 3D coordinates and full conformation. Also, molecular binding contact analyses depicted the stable binding of drug and ct-DNA with potential hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. The structural superimposition dynamics analysis showed the stable binding of [Pip-Nos]OTf with the ct-DNA model through RMSD statistics. Moreover, the ligand interaction calculations revealed the involvement of large binding energy along with a high static number of molecular forces including the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions in their complexation. These significant results report the potency of [Pip-Nos]OTf and its important futuristic role in cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
The interaction between proteins and drugs or other bioactive compounds has been widely explored over the past years. Several methods for analysis of this phenomenon have been developed and improved. Nowadays, increasing attention is paid to innovative methods, such as high performance affinity liquid chromatography (HPALC) and affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE), taking into account various advantages. Moreover, the development of separation methods for the analysis and resolution of chiral drugs has been an area of ongoing interest in analytical and medicinal chemistry research. In addition to bioaffinity binding studies, both HPALC and ACE al-low one to perform other type of analyses, namely, displacement studies and enantioseparation of racemic or enantiomeric mixtures. Actually, proteins used as chiral selectors in chromatographic and electrophoretic methods have unique enantioselective properties demonstrating suitability for the enantioseparation of a large variety of chiral drugs or other bioactive compounds. This review is mainly focused in chromatographic and electrophoretic methods using human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant plasma protein, as chiral selector for binding affinity analysis and enantioresolution of drugs. For both analytical purposes, updated examples are presented to highlight recent applications and current trends.

Abstract
Many drugs bind to serum transport proteins, which can affect both drug distribution and activity in the body. α1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP) is a key transport protein for basic and neutral drugs. Both elevated levels and altered glycosylation patterns of AGP have been seen in clinical conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study developed, optimized, and used the method of ultrafast affinity extraction (UAE) to examine whether these changes in AGP are associated with changes in the binding by some drugs to this transport protein. This approach used affinity microcolumns to capture and measure, in serum, the free fractions of several drugs known to bind AGP. These measurements were made with pooled normal control serum and serum samples from individuals with SLE. Immunoaffinity chromatography was used to obtain the content of AGP and HSA in these samples, and CE was used to examine the glycoform pattern for AGP in each serum sample. The free drug fractions measured for normal control serum ranged from 3.5 to 29.1%, in agreement with the results of ultrafiltration, and provided binding constants of ~105-106 M-1 for the given drugs with AGP at 37⁰C. Analysis of a screening set of SLE serum samples by UAE gave decreased free fractions (relative change, 12-55%) vs normal serum when spiked with the same types and amounts of drugs. These changes were related in some cases to AGP content, with some SLE samples having AGP levels 1.3- to 2.1-fold above the upper end of the normal range. In other cases, the changes in free fractions appeared to be linked to alterations in the glycoforms and binding constants of AGP, with some affinities differing by 1.2- to 1.5-fold vs normal AGP. This approach can be employed with other solute-protein systems and to investigate binding by other drugs or transport proteins directly in clinical samples.

Abstract
Among all the malaria parasites, P. falciparum is the most predominant species which has developed drug resistance against most of the commercial anti-malarial drugs. Thus, finding a new molecule for the inhibition of enzymes of P. falciparum is the pharmacological challenge in present era. Herein, ten novel molecules have been designed with an amalgamation of cinchonidine, carbohydrate moiety and triazole ring by utilizing copper-catalyzed click reaction of cinchonidine-derived azide and clickable glycosyl alkynes. The molecular docking of developed molecules showed promising results for plasmepsin inhibition in the form of effective binding with target proteins.

[PMID: 31654848 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2019.117623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2019] [Revised: 09/02/2019] [Accepted: 10/06/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Lysozyme (LYZ) is a model protein frequently employed to study interaction with drugs and to understand the crystallization process of protein due to its small size and rapid crystallization behavior. Studies related to drug interaction and complexation with proteins will be significantly benefited if a suitable drug-lysozyme crystal is available. This can further aid in the understanding of the mechanism of nucleation, growth and the formation of drug-lysozyme complex. In the present study, amlodipine (AMLD) complexation with LYZ has been monitored, along with its effect on lysozyme crystallization. Different spectroscopic methods have been employed to monitor the nature of complexation, binding mode and changes in helix after interaction with AMLD. The absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopic measurement indicated the probability of a ground state complex between LYZ and AMLD. Further, the temperature dependent fluorescence studies showed an increase in binding constant with temperature, suggesting the static quenching mechanism involved in complex formation due to hydrophobic interactions. CD, FTIR, DLS and DSC techniques confirm the probability of changes in the tertiary structure of protein. Molecular docking was applied to investigate the interaction of amino acid residues of LYZ with AMLD. It was found that the complex formation is spontaneous and the ΔG value obtained (-21. 76 kJ/mol) very well matched with temperature dependent fluorescence study (-24.91 kJ/mol). Crystallization of LYZ was performed with different concentration ranges of AMLD to get a clear picture of its interference on the process. The time required for crystallization of AMLD-LYZ complex and the observed structure of crystal indicates that AMLD influences lysozyme crystallization process by changing the nature of nucleation and rate of crystal growth.

Abstract
Sulfonylurea drugs are antidiabetic drugs that are utilized in the treatment of type II diabetes and often have significant binding with human serum albumin (HSA). Immobilized samples of normal or glycated HSA in affinity microcolumns were used to investigate interactions of these proteins with the sulfonylurea drug tolazamide. HPLC and frontal analysis were used to first examine the overall binding of this drug with these samples of HSA. It was found that tolazamide had two general classes of binding sites (i.e., high and low affinity) for normal and glycated HSA. The higher affinity sites had binding constants of around 4.3-6.0 × 104 M-1 for these interactions at pH 7.4 and 37 °C, while the lower affinity sites had binding strengths of 4.9-9.1 × 103 M-1. Zonal competition studies between tolazamide and probes for Sudlow sites I and II on HSA were also performed and used to provide site-specific affinities for tolazamide at these sites. A decrease of 22% in affinity was observed for tolazamide at Sudlow site I and an increase up to 58% was seen at Sudlow site II when comparing glycated HSA with normal HSA. These observed changes were compared to those of other first-generation sulfonylurea drugs, providing information on how glycation can alter the total and local binding strength of tolazamide and related compounds with HSA under levels of glycation seen in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Sulfonylurea drugs have significant binding to proteins in blood, with most of this binding believed to occur with human serum albumin (HSA). High performance affinity chromatography and affinity microcolumns containing immobilized HSA were used to investigate binding by the sulfonylurea drug chlorpropamide to normal HSA and glycated HSA, which is a modified form of HSA that has an increased serum concentration in diabetes. Experiments employing frontal analysis indicated that the binding by chlorpropamide gave a good fit to a two-site model for both normal HSA and glycated HSA samples that were representative of controlled or advanced diabetes. These interactions involved a set of moderate-to-high affinity sites and a set of lower affinity sites, with binding constants in the range of 6.2-9.9 × 104 M-1 and 0.18-0.57 × 104 M-1, respectively, at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. Competition studies utilizing a zonal elution format demonstrated that chlorpropamide could interact at both Sudlow sites I and II of HSA, with affinities in the range expected for the moderate-to-high affinity sites of this drug. The affinity of chlorpropamide at Sudlow site I had a small increase of up to 1.2-fold when comparing the normal HSA and glycated HSA samples. Chlorpropamide gave a larger 1.4- to over 1.5-fold increase at Sudlow site II when the affinity of this drug was compared between normal HSA and the same samples of glycated HSA. These results were compared to those obtained previously with other sulfonylurea drugs to help determine how glycation can change the overall and site-selective binding strength of these drugs with HSA at levels of protein modification that are seen in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a unique form of natural medicine, has been used in Chinese traditional therapeutic systems over two thousand years. Active components in Chinese herbal medicine are the material basis for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Research on drug-protein binding is one of the important contents in the study of early stage clinical pharmacokinetics of drugs. Plasma protein binding study has far-reaching influence on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs and helps to understand the basic rule of drug effects. It is important to study the binding characteristics of the active components in Chinese herbal medicine with plasma proteins for the medical science and modernization of TCM. This review summarizes the common analytical methods which are used to study the active herbal components-protein binding and gives the examples to illustrate their application. Rules and influence factors of the binding between different types of active herbal components and plasma proteins are summarized in the end. Finally, a suggestion on choosing the suitable technique for different types of active herbal components is provided, and the prospect of the drug-protein binding used in the area of TCM research is also discussed.

Abstract
A number of tools based on high-performance affinity separations have been developed for studying drug-protein interactions. An example of one recent approach is ultrafast affinity extraction. This method has been employed to examine the free (or non-bound) fractions of drugs and other solutes in simple or complex samples that contain soluble binding agents. These free fractions have also been used to determine the binding constants and rate constants for the interactions of drugs with these soluble agents. This report describes the general principles of ultrafast affinity extraction and the experimental conditions under which it can be used to characterize such interactions. This method will be illustrated by utilizing data that have been obtained when using this approach to measure the binding and dissociation of various drugs with the serum transport proteins human serum albumin and alpha1-acid glycoprotein. A number of practical factors will be discussed that should be considered in the design and optimization of this approach for use with single-column or multi-column systems. Techniques will also be described for analyzing the resulting data for the determination of free fractions, rate constants and binding constants. In addition, the extension of this method to complex samples, such as clinical specimens, will be considered.

Abstract
The last few decades have witnessed the development of many high-performance separation methods that use biologically related binding agents. The combination of HPLC with these binding agents results in a technique known as high performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). This review will discuss the general principles of HPAC and related techniques, with an emphasis on their use for the analysis of biological compounds and pharmaceutical agents. Various types of binding agents for these methods will be considered, including antibodies, immunoglobulin-binding proteins, aptamers, enzymes, lectins, transport proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Formats that will be discussed for these methods range from the direct detection of an analyte to indirect detection based on chromatographic immunoassays, as well as schemes based on analyte extraction or depletion, post-column detection, and multi-column systems. The use of biological agents in HPLC for chiral separations will also be considered, along with the use of HPAC as a tool to screen or study biological interactions. Various examples will be presented to illustrate these approaches and their applications in fields such as biochemistry, clinical chemistry, and pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
The interactions of drugs with serum proteins are often stereoselective and can affect the distribution, activity, toxicity and rate of excretion of these drugs in the body. A number of approaches based on affinity chromatography, and particularly high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC), have been used as tools to study these interactions. This review describes the general principles of affinity chromatography and HPAC as related to their use in drug binding studies. The types of serum agents that have been examined with these methods are also discussed, including human serum albumin, α1-acid glycoprotein, and lipoproteins. This is followed by a description of the various formats based on affinity chromatography and HPAC that have been used to investigate drug interactions with serum proteins and the historical development for each of these formats. Specific techniques that are discussed include zonal elution, frontal analysis, and kinetic methods such as those that make use of band-broadening measurements, peak decay analysis, or ultrafast affinity extraction.

Abstract
Shaoyao-Gancao decoction, a Chinese herbal formula, is composed of Paeoniae Radix alba and Glycyrrhiza Radix et rhizoma. It has been widely used to treat muscle spasms and asthma. However, little is known about the bioactive components of Shaoyao-Gancao decoction. In the present study, the bioactive compounds in water-extract of Shaoyao-Gancao decoction were separated by the immobilized β2 -adrenoceptor affinity column and identified using quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The affinity constants of the separated compounds that bind to β2 -adrenoceptor were determined by frontal analysis. Compound bioactivity was tested in a rat tracheal smooth muscle relaxation assay. We identified the bioactive compounds in the water extract of Shaoyao-Gancao decoction that bound to the β2 -adrenoceptor as paeoniflorin and liquiritin. Paeoniflorin and liquiritin had only one binding site on the immobilized β2 -adrenoceptor, and the affinity constants were (2.16 ± 0.10) × 104 M-1 and (2.95 ± 0.15) × 104 M-1 , respectively. Both compounds induced a concentration-dependent relaxation of tracheal smooth muscle following K+ -stimulated contraction, and the relaxation effects were abrogated by the β2 -adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 118551. Therefore, paeoniflorin and liquiritin are bioactive compounds in Shaoyao-Gancao decoction and the β2 -adrenoceptor affinity chromatography is a useful tool for identifying potential β2 -adrenoceptor ligands in natural products used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
Interactions with serum proteins such as alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) can have a significant effect on the behavior and pharmacokinetics of drugs. Ultrafast affinity extraction and peak profiling were used with AGP microcolumns to examine these processes for several model drugs (i.e., chlorpromazine, disopyramide, imipramine, lidocaine, propranolol and verapamil). The association equilibrium constants measured for these drugs with soluble AGP by ultrafast affinity extraction were in the general range of 104-106M-1 at pH 7.4 and 37°C and gave good agreement with literature values. Some of these values were dependent on the relative drug and protein concentrations that were present when using a single-site binding model; these results suggested a more complex mixed-mode interaction was actually present, which was also then used to analyze the data. The apparent dissociation rate constants that were obtained by ultrafast affinity extraction when using a single-site model varied from 0.14 to 7.0s-1 and were dependent on the relative drug and protein concentrations. Lower apparent dissociation rate constants were obtained by this approach as the relative amount of drug versus protein was decreased, with the results approaching those measured by peak profiling at low drug concentrations. This information should be useful in better understanding how these and other drugs interact with AGP in the circulation. In addition, the chromatographic approaches that were optimized and used in this report to examine these systems can be adapted for the analysis of other solute-protein interactions of biomedical interest.

Abstract
Drug-protein interaction analysis is pregnant in designing new leads during drug discovery. We prepared the stationary phase containing immobilized β2 -adrenoceptor (β2 -AR) by linkage of the receptor on macroporous silica gel surface through N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole method. The stationary phase was applied in identifying antiasthmatic target of protopine guided by the prediction of site-directed molecular docking. Subsequent application of immobilized β2 -AR in exploring the binding of protopine to the receptor was realized by frontal analysis and injection amount-dependent method. The association constants of protopine to β2 -AR by the 2 methods were (1.00 ± 0.06) × 105 M-1 and (1.52 ± 0.14) × 104 M-1 . The numbers of binding sites were (1.23 ± 0.07) × 10-7 M and (9.09 ± 0.06) × 10-7 M, respectively. These results indicated that β2 -AR is the specific target for therapeutic action of protopine in vivo. The target-drug binding occurred on Ser169 in crystal structure of the receptor. Compared with frontal analysis, injection amount-dependent method is advantageous to drug saving, improvement of sampling efficiency, and performing speed. It has grave potential in high-throughput drug-receptor interaction analysis.

Identifying the antiasthmatic target of doxofylline using immobilized β2 -adrenoceptor based high-performance affinity chromatography and site-directed molecular docking. J Mol Recognit 2016; 29:492-8. [PMID: 27173639 DOI: 10.1002/jmr.2549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2015] [Revised: 02/28/2016] [Accepted: 04/06/2016] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
As a xanthine derivative, doxofylline is believed to be dominant for fighting against asthma in practice. Unlike other xanthines, the antiasthmatic effects of doxofylline lack any definite proof of target and mediating mechanism according to previous reports. In this work, the interaction between doxofylline and β2 -AR was investigated by high performance affinity chromatography using frontal analysis and nonlinear model. The methodology involved the immobilization of β2 -AR on the silica gel by a random linking method, the determination of the binding parameters by frontal analysis and nonlinear chromatography and the exploration of the binding mechanism by site-directed molecular docking. The association constant for doxofylline binding to immobilized β2 -AR was determined to be 7.70 × 10(4) M(-1) by nonlinear chromatography and 5.91 × 10(4) M(-1) by frontal analysis. Ser(169) and Ser(173) were the binding sites for the receptor-drug interaction on which hydrogen bond was believed to be the main driven force during the interaction. These results indicated that the antiasthmatic effects of doxofylline may be behind the mediating mechanism of β2 -AR. High performance affinity chromatography based on immobilized receptor has potential to become an alternative for drug target confirmation and drug-receptor interaction analysis.

Abstract
Drug-protein binding may play a role in the thermal energetics of protein denaturation and could lead to the determination of its equilibrium dissociation parameter. The aim of this study was to assess the energetics of a drug that was bound to human serum albumin (HSA) during thermal denaturation. Drugs that were bound at a single high-affinity primary binding site on HSA, including diazepam and ibuprofen, were employed. Commercial HSA was treated with charcoal to remove stabilizers and adjusted to 20% w/v in a pH 7.4 buffered solution. Serial concentrations of individual drugs up to 0.16 mmole/g-protein were added to the cleaned HSA solutions whereas diazepam was added to a commercial HSA solution. Samples were subjected to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) set to run from 37 to 90°C at 3.0°C/min. Binding of the drug slightly increased the denaturing temperature of the cleaned HSA due to a shift in the equilibrium toward the native protein bound with the drug. Diazepam depressed the denaturing temperature of the commercial HSA by competing with the stabilizers already bound to the primary site of the HSA. This yielded not only the HSA-stabilizer but also the HSA-diazepam type complexes that exhibited a different denaturation process. A rational approximation of the Lumry-Eyring protein denaturation model was used to treat the DSC endotherms. The approximated scheme: [Formula: see text] was successfully fitted to the data. It was used to determine the dissociation parameters for diazepam and ibuprofen bound to the HSA. These results were comparable to those obtained from other methods.

Penetrable silica microspheres for immobilization of bovine serum albumin and their application to the study of the interaction between imatinib mesylate and protein by frontal affinity chromatography.

Abstract
In the current study, novel featured silica, named penetrable silica, simultaneously containing macropores and mesopores, was immobilized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) via Schiff base method. The obtained BSA-SiO2 was employed as the high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) stationary phase. Firstly, D- and L-tryptophan were used as probes to investigate the chiral separation ability of the BSA-SiO2 stationary phase. An excellent enantioseparation factor was obtained up to 4.3 with acceptable stability within at least 1 month. Next, the BSA-SiO2 stationary phase was applied to study the interaction between imatinib mesylate (IM) and BSA by frontal affinity chromatography. A single type of binding site was found for IM with the immobilized BSA, and the hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions were expected to be contributing interactions based on the thermodynamic studies, and this was a spontaneous process. Compared to the traditional silica for HPLC stationary phase, the proposed penetrable silica microsphere possessed a larger capacity to bond more BSA, minimizing column overloading effects and enhancing enantioseparation ability. In addition, the lower running column back pressure and fast mass transfer were meaningful for the column stability and lifetime. It was a good substrate to immobilize biomolecules for fast chiral resolution and screening drug-protein interactions.

Abstract
The binding of drugs with proteins and other agents in serum is of interest in personalized medicine because this process can affect the dosage and action of drugs. The extent of this binding may also vary with a given disease state. These interactions may involve serum proteins, such as human serum albumin or α1-acid glycoprotein, or other agents, such as lipoproteins. High-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) is a tool that has received increasing interest as a means for studying these interactions. This review discusses the general principles of HPAC and the various approaches that have been used in this technique to examine drug-protein binding and in work related to personalized medicine. These approaches include frontal analysis and zonal elution, as well as peak decay analysis, ultrafast affinity extraction, and chromatographic immunoassays. The operation of each method is described and examples of applications for these techniques are provided. The type of information that can be obtained by these methods is also discussed, as related to the analysis of drug-protein binding and the study of clinical or pharmaceutical samples.

Analysis of free drug fractions in human serum by ultrafast affinity extraction and two-dimensional affinity chromatography. Anal Bioanal Chem 2015; 408:131-40.

Abstract
Ultrafast affinity extraction and a two-dimensional high performance affinity chromatographic system were used to measure the free fractions for various drugs in serum and at typical therapeutic concentrations. Pooled samples of normal serum or serum from diabetic patients were utilized in this work. Several drug models (i.e., quinidine, diazepam, gliclazide, tolbutamide, and acetohexamide) were examined that represented a relatively wide range of therapeutic concentrations and affinities for human serum albumin (HSA). The two-dimensional system consisted of an HSA microcolumn for the extraction of a free drug fraction, followed by a larger HSA analytical column for the further separation and measurement of this fraction. Factors that were optimized in this method included the flow rates, column sizes, and column switching times that were employed. The final extraction times used for isolating the free drug fractions were 333-665 ms or less. The dissociation rate constants for several of the drugs with soluble HSA were measured during system optimization, giving results that agreed with reference values. In the final system, free drug fractions in the range of 0.7-9.5% were measured and gave good agreement with values that were determined by ultrafiltration. Association equilibrium constants or global affinities were also estimated by this approach for the drugs with soluble HSA. The results for the two-dimensional system were obtained in 5-10 min or less and required only 1-5 μL of serum per injection. The same approach could be adapted for work with other drugs and proteins in clinical samples or for biomedical research.

Uremic Toxins Induce ET-1 Release by Human Proximal Tubule Cells, which Regulates Organic Cation Uptake Time-Dependently. Cells 2015; 4:234-52.

Abstract
In renal failure, the systemic accumulation of uremic waste products is strongly associated with the development of a chronic inflammatory state. Here, the effect of cationic uremic toxins on the release of inflammatory cytokines and endothelin-1 (ET-1) was investigated in conditionally immortalized proximal tubule epithelial cells (ciPTEC). Additionally, we examined the effects of ET-1 on the cellular uptake mediated by organic cation transporters (OCTs). Exposure of ciPTEC to cationic uremic toxins initiated production of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 (117 ± 3%, p < 0.001), IL-8 (122 ± 3%, p < 0.001), and ET-1 (134 ± 5%, p < 0.001). This was accompanied by a down-regulation of OCT mediated 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridinium-iodide (ASP+) uptake in ciPTEC at 30 min (23 ± 4%, p < 0.001), which restored within 60 min of incubation. Exposure to ET-1 for 24 h increased the ASP+ uptake significantly (20 ± 5%, p < 0.001). These effects could be blocked by BQ-788, indicating activation of an ET-B-receptor-mediated signaling pathway. Downstream the receptor, iNOS inhibition by (N(G)‐monomethyl‐l‐arginine) l-NMMA acetate or aminoguanidine, as well as protein kinase C activation, ameliorated the short-term effects. These results indicate that uremia results in the release of cytokines and ET-1 from human proximal tubule cells, in vitro. Furthermore, ET-1 exposure was found to regulate proximal tubular OCT transport activity in a differential, time-dependent, fashion.

Abstract
The binding ability of a drug to plasma proteins influences the pharmacokinetics of a drug. As a result, it is a very important issue in new drug development. In this study, affinity capillary electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis with frontal analysis, and Hummel Dreyer methods with internal and external calibration were used to study the affinity between bovine serum albumin and salicylic acid. The binding constant was measured by all these approaches including the equilibrium dialysis, which is considered to be a reference method. The comparison of results and other considerations showed the best electrophoretic approach to be capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis, which is characterized by the high sample throughput with the possibility of automation, very small quantities of biomacromolecules, simplicity, and a short analysis time. The mechanism of complex formation was then examined by capillary electrophoresis with frontal analysis. The binding parameters were determined and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy ΔG(0), enthalpy ΔH(0), and entropy changes ΔS(0) at various temperatures were calculated. The results showed that the binding of bovine serum albumin and salicylic acid was spontaneous, and that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces played a major role in the formation of the complex.

Abstract
Affinity chromatography has become an important tool for characterizing biomolecular interactions. The use of affinity microcolumns, which contain immobilized binding agents and have volumes in the mid-to-low microliter range, has received particular attention in recent years. Potential advantages of affinity microcolumns include the many analysis and detection formats that can be used with these columns, as well as the need for only small amounts of supports and immobilized binding agents. This review examines how affinity microcolumns have been used to examine biomolecular interactions. Both capillary-based microcolumns and short microcolumns are considered. The use of affinity microcolumns with zonal elution and frontal analysis methods are discussed. The techniques of peak decay analysis, ultrafast affinity extraction, split-peak analysis, and band-broadening studies are also explored. The principles of these methods are examined and various applications are provided to illustrate the use of these methods with affinity microcolumns. It is shown how these techniques can be utilized to provide information on the binding strength and kinetics of an interaction, as well as on the number and types of binding sites. It is further demonstrated how information on competition or displacement effects can be obtained by these methods.

Abstract
High-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) was utilized to examine the binding of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) with drugs, using R/S-propranolol as a model. These studies indicated that two mechanisms existed for the binding of R- and S-propranolol with VLDL. The first mechanism involved non-saturable partitioning of these drugs with VLDL, which probably occurred with the lipoprotein's non-polar core. This partitioning was described by overall affinity constants of 1.2 (±0.3) × 10(6) M(-1) for R-propranolol and 2.4 (±0.6) × 10(6) M(-1) for S-propranolol at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. The second mechanism occurred through saturable binding by these drugs at fixed sites on VLDL, such as represented by apolipoproteins on the surface of the lipoprotein. The association equilibrium constants for this saturable binding at 37 °C were 7.0 (±2.3) × 10(4) M(-1) for R-propranolol and 9.6 (±2.2) × 10(4) M(-1) for S-propranolol. Comparable results were obtained at 20 and 27 °C for the propranolol enantiomers. This work provided fundamental information on the processes involved in the binding of R- and S-propranolol to VLDL, while also illustrating how HPAC can be used to evaluate relatively complex interactions between agents such as VLDL and drugs or other solutes.

Abstract
A method was created on the basis of ultrafast affinity extraction to determine both the dissociation rate constants and equilibrium constants for drug-protein interactions in solution. Human serum albumin (HSA), an important binding agent for many drugs in blood, was used as both a model soluble protein and as an immobilized binding agent in affinity microcolumns for the analysis of free drug fractions. Several drugs were examined that are known to bind to HSA. Various conditions to optimize in the use of ultrafast affinity extraction for equilibrium and kinetic studies were considered, and several approaches for these measurements were examined. The dissociation rate constants obtained for soluble HSA with each drug gave good agreement with previous rate constants reported for the same drugs or other solutes with comparable affinities for HSA. The equilibrium constants that were determined also showed good agreement with the literature. The results demonstrated that ultrafast affinity extraction could be used as a rapid approach to provide information on both the kinetics and thermodynamics of a drug-protein interaction in solution. This approach could be extended to other systems and should be valuable for high-throughput drug screening or biointeraction studies.

Abstract
Knowledge regarding unbound concentrations is of vital importance when exploring the PK and PD of a drug. The accurate and reproducible determination of plasma protein binding and unbound concentrations for a compound/drug is a serious challenge for the bioanalytical laboratory. When the drug is in equilibrium with the binding protein(s), this equilibrium will shift when physiological conditions are not met. Furthermore, the true unbound fraction/concentration is unknown, and there are numerous publications in the scientific literature reporting and discussing data that have been produced without sufficient control of the parameters influencing the equilibrium. In this Review, different parameters affecting the equilibrium and analysis are discussed, together with suggestions on how to control these parameters in order to produce as trustworthy results for unbound concentrations/fractions as possible.

Abstract
For the optimization of dosing regimens of anti-infective agents, it is imperative to have a good understanding of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Whenever possible, drug efficacy needs to be related to unbound concentrations at the site of action. For anti-infective drugs, the infection site is typically located outside plasma, and a drug must diffuse through capillary membranes to reach its target. Disease- and drug-related factors can contribute to differential tissue distribution. As a result, the assumption that the plasma concentration of drugs represents a suitable surrogate of tissue concentrations may lead to erroneous conclusions. Quantifying drug exposure in tissues represents an opportunity to relate the pharmacologically active concentrations to an observed pharmacodynamic parameter, such as the MIC. Selection of an appropriate specimen to sample and the advantages and limitations of the available sampling techniques require careful consideration. Ultimately, the goal will be to assess the appropriateness of a drug and dosing regimen for a specific pathogen and infection.

Use of entrapment and high-performance affinity chromatography to compare the binding of drugs and site-specific probes with normal and glycated human serum albumin. Anal Bioanal Chem 2013; 405:5833-41. [PMID: 23657448 PMCID: PMC3696424 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-013-6981-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2013] [Revised: 04/09/2013] [Accepted: 04/11/2013] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Protein entrapment and high-performance affinity chromatography were used with zonal elution to examine the changes in binding that occurred for site-specific probes and various sulfonylurea drugs with normal and glycated forms of human serum albumin (HSA). Samples of this protein in a soluble form were physically entrapped within porous silica particles by using glycogen-capped hydrazide-activated silica; these supports were then placed into 1.0 cm × 2.1 mm inner diameter columns. Initial zonal elution studies were performed using (R)-warfarin and L-tryptophan as probes for Sudlow sites I and II (i.e., the major drug binding sites of HSA), giving quantitative measures of binding affinities in good agreement with literature values. It was also found for solutes with multisite binding to the same proteins, such as many sulfonylurea drugs, that this method could be used to estimate the global affinity of the solute for the entrapped protein. This entrapment and zonal approach provided retention information with precisions of ±0.1-3.3% (± one standard deviation) and elution within 0.50-3.00 min for solutes with binding affinities of 1 × 10(4)-3 × 10(5) M(-1). Each entrapped-protein column was used for many binding studies, which decreased the cost and amount of protein needed per injection (e.g., the equivalent of only 125-145 pmol of immobilized HSA or glycated HSA per injection over 60 sample application cycles). This method can be adapted for use with other proteins and solutes and should be valuable in high-throughput screening or quantitative studies of drug-protein binding or related biointeractions.

Abstract
Drug-plasma protein binding is an important parameter that, together with other physicochemical properties such as lipophilicity and pK(a), greatly influences drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Therefore, it is important for pharmaceutical companies to develop a rapid screening assay to examine plasma protein binding during the early stages of the drug discovery process. Human serum albumin (HSA) and α(1)-acid glycoprotein (AGP) are the most important plasma proteins that are capable of binding drugs. In this work, an automated and high-throughput (<3 min/compound) strategy was developed using high performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) with commercial HSA and AGP columns to evaluate drug-plasma protein interactions for drug screening. A generic gradient was used throughout the study to separate drugs that were weakly and tightly bound to HSA and AGP. To accelerate the analysis time, the system was calibrated in a single run by pooling reference compounds without overloading the column. For both HSA and AGP studies, the developed methods were successfully transferred from HPAC-UV to HPAC-MS with single quadrupole MS detection and ammonium acetate, pH 7.0 as a volatile mobile phase. The MS detection enhanced the sensitivity, selectivity, and throughput of the method by pooling unknown compounds. For HSA analyses, the binding percentages obtained using HPAC were well correlated with the binding percentages from the literature. This method was also able to rank compounds based on their affinity for HSA. Concerning the AGP analyses, the quality of the correlation between the binding percentages obtained in HPAC and those from the literature was weaker. However, the method was able to classify compounds into weak, medium, and strong binders and rank compounds based on their affinity for AGP.

Abstract
The interaction of two Chinese medicinal ingredients and human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated by high performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). HSA bounded silica-based stationary phase was prepared based on the "click chemistry" strategy, and packed in a column (named as HSA column). The drug-HSA binding ratio was calculated from the difference of the drug's retention times on the HSA column and silica column (blank column). The warfarin-HSA binding ratio determined by this method was similar to the reference reported value by ultrafiltration method. The results indicated that the new HSA column and the HPAC method can be used for the detection of binding ratio of drug and HSA. The binding ratios of puerarin and goitrin determined by the HPAC method were 10.26% and 10.20%, respectively. And the binding ratio of puerarin determined by ultrafiltration was 14.25%. All these results showed that HPAC is a useful method to investigate the interaction between drugs and protein.

Abstract
Columns containing immobilized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were prepared for the analysis of drug interactions with this agent by high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). R/S-Propranolol was used as a model drug for this study. The LDL columns gave reproducible binding to propranolol over 60 h of continuous use in the presence of pH 7.4 0.067 M potassium phosphate buffer. Experiments conducted with this type of column through frontal analysis indicated that two types of interactions were occurring between R-propranolol and LDL, while only a single type of interaction was observed between S-propranolol and LDL. The first type of interaction, which was seen for both enantiomers, involved non-saturable binding; this interaction had an overall affinity (nK(a)) of 1.9 (±0.1) × 10(5) M(-1) for R-propranolol and 2.7 (±0.2) × 10(5) M(-1) for S-propranolol at 37 °C. The second type of interaction was observed only for R-propranolol and involved saturable binding that had an association equilibrium constant (K(a)) of 5.2 (±2.3) × 10(5) M(-1) at 37 °C. Similar differences in binding behavior were found for the two enantiomers at 20 °C and 27 °C. This is the first known example of stereoselective binding of drugs by LDL or other lipoproteins. This work also illustrates the ability of HPAC to be used as a tool for characterizing mixed-mode interactions that involve LDL and related binding agents.
