Abstract
Heavy metals such as Iron, Copper, and Zinc are micro-essential trace metal and involve animportant biological role, but it quickly turns toxic at exceeding the permissible limit, causing gastrointestinal irritation, liver, bone, and kidney damage, as well as disorders including Wilson's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. It is important to detect the metal ions as well as their concentration quickly and affordable cost using organic probes. Among the organic probes,the coumarin fluorescent probe shows a very prominent candidate with heavy metal ions. Therefore, in the present review, we reviewed the very recent literature the identify the heavy metals using modified coumarin fluorescent probes. Readers will get information quickly about the method of preparation of modified coumarin core and their use as fluorescent probes with heavy metals using absorption and emission spectroscopic methods along with the probable mechanistic pathway of detection.

Das S, Roy P, Sardar PS, Ghosh S. Addressing the interaction of stem bromelain with different anionic surfactants, below, at and above the critical micelle concentration (cmc) in phosphate buffer at pH 7: Physicochemical, spectroscopic, & molecular docking study. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132368. [PMID: 38761912 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132368] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
The structural stability and therapeutic activity of Stem Bromelain (BM) have been explored by unravelling the interaction of stem BM in presence of two different types of anionic surfactants namely, bile salts, NaC and NaDC and the conventional anionic surfactants, SDDS and SDBS, below, at and above the critical micelle concentration (cmc) in aqueous phosphate buffer of pH 7. Different physicochemical parameters like, surface excess (Γcmc), minimum area of surfactants at air water interface (Amin) etc. are calculated from tensiometry both in absence and presence of BM. Several inflection points (C1, C2 and C3) have been found in tensiometry profile of surfactants in presence of BM due to the conformational change of BM assisted by surfactants. Similar observation also found in isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) profiles where the enthalpy of micellization (ΔH0obs) of surfactants in absence and presence of BM have calculated. Further, steady state absorption and fluorescence spectra monitoring the tryptophan (Trp) emission of free BM and in presence of all the surfactants at three different temperatures (288.15 K, 298.15 K, and 308.15 K) reveal the nature of fluorescence quenching of BM in presence of bile salts/surfactants. Time resolved fluorescence studies at room temperature also support to determine the several quenching parameters. The binding constant (Kb) of BM with all the surfactants and free energy of binding (∆G0 of bile salts/surfactants with BM at different temperatures have been calculated exploiting steady state fluorescence technique. It is observed that, the binding of NaC with BM is greater as compared to other surfactants while Stern-Volmer quenching constant (KSV) is found greater in presence of SDBS as compared with others which supports the surface tension and ITC data with the fact that surface activity of surfactant(s) is decreasing with the binding of the surfactants at the core or binding pocket of BM. Circular Dichroism (CD) study shows the stability of secondary structure of BM in presence of NaC and NaDC below C3, while BM lost its structural stability even at very low surfactant concentration of SDDS and SDBS which also supports the more involvement of bile salts in binding rather than surfactants. The molecular docking studies have also been substantiated for better understanding the several experimental investigations interaction of BM with the bile salts/surfactants.

Abstract
We have semi-synthesized a natural product 7-acetylhorminone from crude extract of Premna obtusifolia (Indian headache tree), which is active against colorectal cancer after probation through computational screening methods as it passed through the set parameters of pharmacokinetics (most important nonblood-brain barrier permeant) and drug likeliness (e.g., Lipinski's, Ghose's, Veber's rule) which most other phytoconstituents failed to pass combined with docking with EGFR protein which is highly upregulated in the colorectal carcinoma cell. The structure of 7-acetylhorminone was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and COSY studies. To validate the theoretical studies, first, in vitro experiments were carried out against human colorectal carcinoma cell lines (HCT116) which revealed the potent cytotoxic efficacy of 7-acetylhorminone and verified preliminary investigation. Second, the drugability of 7-acetylhorminone interaction with serum albumin proteins (HSA and BSA) is evaluated both theoretically and experimentally via steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic studies, circular dichroism, isothermal titration calorimetry, and molecular docking. In summary, this study reveals the applicability of 7-acetylhorminone as a potent drug candidate or as a combinatorial drug against colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The interaction mechanism between trypsin and fulvic acid was analyzed by multispectral method and molecular docking simulation. The fluorescence spectra showed that fulvic acid induced static quenching of trypsin. The validity of this conclusion was further substantiated through the computation of the binding constants. The thermodynamic parameters show that the reaction is mainly controlled by van der Waals force and hydrogen bond force, and the reaction is spontaneous. In addition, based on the obtained binding distance, there may be a non-radiative energy transfer between the two. The ultraviolet spectrum showed that fulvic acid could shift the absorption peak of trypsin, indicating that fulvic acid had an effect on the secondary structure of trypsin. According to the synchronous fluorescence spectrum results, fulvic acid primarily interacts with tryptophan residues in trypsin and induces alterations in their microenvironment. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum and circular dichroism further proves this conclusion. The molecular docking simulation reveals that the interaction between the two groups primarily arises from hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The findings suggest that FA has the ability to induce conformational changes in trypsin's secondary structure.

Abstract
The interaction between chloramphenicol (CHL) and pepsin (PEP), as well as the impact of CHL on PEP conformation, were investigated using spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking simulations in this study. The experimental results demonstrate that CHL exhibits a static quenching effect on PEP. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the reaction between CHL and PEP is spontaneous, primarily driven by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. Moreover, the binding distance of r<7 nm suggests the occurrence of Förster's non-radiative energy transfer between these two molecules. In the synchronous fluorescence spectrum, the maximum fluorescence intensity of PEP produced a redshift phenomenon, indicating that CHL was bound to tryptophan residues of PEP. The addition of CHL induces changes in the secondary structure of PEP, as confirmed by the observed alterations in peak values in three-dimensional fluorescence spectra. The UV spectra reveal a redshift of 3 nm in the maximum absorption peak, indicating a conformational change in the secondary structure of PEP upon addition of CHL. Circular dichroism analysis demonstrates significant alterations in the α-helix, β-sheet, β-turn, and random coil contents of PEP before and after CHL incorporation, further confirming its ability to modulate the secondary structure of PEP.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a potent mutagen, is synthesized by Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus flavus. Human serum albumin (HSA) is a globular protein with diverse roles. As AFB1 is ingested with food and is transported in the body via blood, it becomes pertinent to comprehend the effect of the binding of this toxin on the structure and conformation of HSA, which may help to get insight into the toxic effect of the exposure of the mycotoxin. In this study, multi-spectroscopic approaches have been used to evaluate the binding efficiency of AFB1 with both the native HSA (nHSA) and the glycated HSA (gHSA). Steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy reveals the static type of fluorescence quenching in the fluorescence emission spectra of nHSA and gHSA in the presence of AFB1. The binding constant (Kb) is calculated to be 6.88 × 104 M-1 for nHSA, while a reduced Kb value of 2.95 × 104 M-1 has been obtained for gHSA. The circular dichroism study confirms the change in the secondary structure of nHSA and gHSA in the presence of AFB1, followed by alterations in the melting temperature (Tm) of nHSA and gHSA. In silico computational findings envisaged the amino acid residues and bonds involved in the binding of nHSA and gHSA with AFB1. The comprehensive study analyzes the binding effectiveness of AFB1 with nHSA and gHSA and shows reduced binding of AFB1 to gHSA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a polyphenol belonging to the class stilbenes. The active and stable form of resveratrol is trans-resveratrol. This polyphenol is bestowed with numerous biological properties. Aflatoxin B1 is a hepato-carcinogen and mutagen that is produced by Aspergillus species. In this study, the interaction of trans-resveratrol with HSA followed by competitive dislodging of AFB1 from HSA by trans-resveratrol has been investigated using spectroscopic studies. The UV-absorption studies revealed ground state complex formation between HSA and trans-resveratrol. Trans-resveratrol binds strongly to HSA with the binding constant of ~ 107 M−1 to a single binding site (n = 1.58), at 298.15 K. The Stern–Volmer quenching constant was calculated as 7.83 × 104 M−1 at 298.15 K, suggesting strong fluorescence quenching ability of trans-resveratrol. Site markers displacement assay projected subdomain IIA as the binding site of trans-resveratrol to HSA. The molecular docking approach envisages the amino acid residues involved in the formation of the binding pocket. As confirmed from the site marker displacement assays, both trans-resveratrol and AFB1 binds to HSA in the same binding site, subdomain IIA. The study explores the ability of trans-resveratrol to displace AFB1 from the HSA-AFB1 complex, thereby affecting the toxicokinetic behavior of AFB1 associated with AFB1 exposure.

Abstract
The photophysics of 4-azidocoumarin (4-AC), a novel fluorescent coumarin derivative, is well established by the investigation of the alteration of the microheterogeneous environment comprising two types of systems: supramolecular systems, cyclodextrins (CDs), and biomolecular systems, serum albumins (SAs). The enhanced emission of the ligand with the organized assemblies like α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence and fluorescence anisotropy at 298 K is compared with those of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA). The remarkable enhancement of the emission of ligand 4-AC along with the blue shift of the emission for both the systems are visualized as the incorporation of 4-AC into the hydrophobic core of the CDs and proteins mainly due to reduction of nonradiative decay process in the hydrophobic interior of CDs and SAs. The binding constants at 298 K and the single binding site are estimated using enhanced emission and anisotropy of the bound ligand in both the systems. The marked enhancement of the fluorescence anisotropy indicates that the ligand molecule experiences a motionally constrained environment within the CDs and SAs. Rotational correlation time (θc) of the bound ligand 4-AC is calculated in both the categories of the confined environment using time-resolved anisotropy at 298 K. Molecular docking studies for both the variety of complexes of the ligand throw light to assess the location of the ligand and the microenvironment around the ligand in the ligand-CD and ligand-protein complexes. Solvent variation study of the probe 4-AC molecule in different polar protic and aprotic solvents clearly demonstrates the polarity and hydrogen-bonding ability of the solvents, which supports the alteration of the microenvironments around 4-AC due to binding with the biomimicking as well as biomolecular systems. Dynamic light scattering is employed to determine the hydrodynamic diameter of free BSA/HSA and complexes of BSA/HSA with the ligand 4-AC.

Abstract
The toxicity of antimony (Sb) is closely related to its chemical forms. To further realize the toxicity risk of different forms of Sb, the separate and simultaneous binding mechanisms of antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated with muti-spectroscopic methods. Fluorescence quenching result and UV-vis absorption spectra showed that a 1:1 complex was formed between antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate and BSA through a modest binding force. The results revealed that the binding of antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate to BSA caused changes in the secondary structure of BSA. Both Sb forms (antimony potassium tartrate and potassium pyroantimonate) were able to interact with BSA when coexisting but there was a binding influence on their interacting with the BSA. Both Sb forms interfere with the binding of the other to protein.

Abstract
In the last few years, metallodrugs play a key role in the development of medicinal chemistry. The choice of metal ion, its oxidation state and stability, and the choice of inert and labile ligands are just some of the very important facts which must be considered before starting the synthesis of complexes with utilization in medicinal purpose. As a result, a lot of compounds of different transition metal ions found application for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose. Beside all, gold compounds have attracted particular attention. It is well-known that gold compounds could be used for the treatment of cancer, HIV, rheumatoid arthritis (chrysotherapy), and other diseases. This metal ion has unoccupied d-sublevels and possibility to form compounds with different oxidation states, from -1 to +5. However, gold(I) and gold(III) complexes are dominant in chemistry and medicine. Especially, gold(III) complexes are of great interest due to their structural similarity with cisplatin. Accordingly, this review summarizes the chemistry of some mononuclear and polynuclear gold(III) complexes. Special attention is given to gold(III) complexes with nitrogen-donor inert ligands (aliphatic or aromatic that have a possibility to stabilize complex) and their kinetic behavior toward different biologically relevant nucleophiles, mechanism of interaction with DNA/bovine serum albumin (BSA), cytotoxic activity, as well as computational calculations.
