Revisiting the hydrolysis of ampicillin catalyzed by Temoneira-1 β-lactamase, and the effect of Ni(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). Protein Sci 2023; 32:e4809. [PMID: 37853808 PMCID: PMC10661098 DOI: 10.1002/pro.4809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
β-Lactamases grant resistance to bacteria against β-lactam antibiotics. The active center of TEM-1 β-lactamase accommodates a Ser-Xaa-Xaa-Lys motif. TEM-1 β-lactamase is not a metalloenzyme but it possesses several putative metal ion binding sites. The sites composed of His residue pairs chelate borderline transition metal ions such as Ni(II). In addition, there are many sulfur-containing donor groups that can coordinate soft metal ions such as Hg(II). Cd(II) may bind to both types of the above listed donor groups. No significant change was observed in the circular dichroism spectra of TEM-1 β-lactamase on increasing the metal ion content of the samples, with the exception of Hg(II) inducing a small change in the secondary structure of the protein. A weak nonspecific binding of Hg(II) was proven by mass spectrometry and 119m Hg perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy. The hydrolytic process of ampicillin catalyzed by TEM-1 β-lactamase was described by the kinetic analysis of the set of full catalytic progress curves, where the slow, yet observable conversion of the primary reaction product into a second one, identified as ampilloic acid by mass spectrometry, needed also to be considered in the applied model. Ni(II) and Cd(II) slightly promoted the catalytic activity of the enzyme while Hg(II) exerted a noticeable inhibitory effect. Hg(II) and Ni(II), applied at 10 μM concentration, inhibited the growth of E. coli BL21(DE3) in M9 minimal medium in the absence of ampicillin, but addition of the antibiotic could neutralize this toxic effect by complexing the metal ions.

Bioelectrochemistry 2021; 142:107936. [PMID: 34474204 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2021.107936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2021] [Revised: 08/15/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Some bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics that were once commonly used to treat them. Moreover, this resistance has become more and more massive and worrying. During this work, we succeeded in synthesizing "metal-antibiotic" complexes, combining as a ligand for the metals of Cu (II), Zn (II) and Fe (III). These complexes AMX - M (M = Cu, Fe and Zn) were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, IR spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. Job's method of continuous variation suggested 1:1 metals to ligand stoichiometry for all amoxicillin complexes. The binding constant/association constant (K) of the AMX with Zn(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III) were found to be 4.46 × 104, 7.17 × 102 and 7.65 × 102 L mol-1, respectively. The IR spectra shows that the ligands coordinated to the metal ions through amino, imino, carboxylate, β-lactamic and carbonyl groups. The electrochemical results proved that amoxicillin oxidation process can be delayed by transition metal complexation. After, the complex synthesis, the antibacterial activity of ligand and its metal complexes were evaluated against Escherichia. coli bacteria by antibiogram method. The results show that the metal-amoxicillin complexes have better antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) than the free ligand (amoxicillin) due to the AMX protection against oxidation after complexation.

Modeling solubility, acid-base properties and activity coefficients of amoxicillin, ampicillin and (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid, in NaCl(aq) at different ionic strengths and temperatures. Eur J Pharm Sci 2012; 47:661-77. [PMID: 22903046 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2012.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2012] [Revised: 07/31/2012] [Accepted: 08/04/2012] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The total solubility of three penicillin derivatives was determined, in pure water and NaCl aqueous solutions at different salt concentrations (from ∼0.15 to 1.0 mol L(-1) for ampicillin and amoxicillin, and from ∼0.05 to 2.0 mol L(-1) for (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid), using the shake-flask method for generating the saturated solutions, followed by potentiometric analysis. The knowledge of the pH of solubilization and of the protonation constants determined in the same experimental conditions, allowed us to calculate, by means of the mass balance equations, the solubility of the neutral species at different ionic strength values, to model its dependence on the salt concentration and to determine the corresponding values at infinite dilution. The salting parameter and the activity coefficients of the neutral species were calculated by the Setschenow equation. The protonation constants of ampicillin and amoxicillin, determined at different temperatures (from T=288.15 to 318.15K), from potentiometric and spectrophotometric measurements, were used to calculate, by means of the Van't Hoff equation, the temperature coefficients at different ionic strength values and the corresponding protonation entropies. The protonation enthalpies of the (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid were determined by isoperibol calorimetric titrations at T=298.15K and up to I=2.0 mol L(-1). The dependence of the protonation constants on ionic strength was modeled by means of the Debye-Hückel and SIT (Specific ion Interaction Theory) approaches, and the specific interaction parameters of the ionic species were determined. The hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring was studied by spectrophotometric and H NMR investigations as a function of pH, ionic strength and time. Potentiometric measurements carried out on the hydrolyzed (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid allowed us to highlight that the opened and the closed β-lactam forms of the (+)6-aminopenicillanic acid have quite different acid-base properties. An analysis of literature solubility, protonation constants, enthalpies and activity coefficients is reported too.

Abstract
Approaching living systems, aqueous solutions are appropriate to characterize antioxidants, whereas the frequently used standard 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) is insoluble in water. Therefore, mixed water-ethanol solvents were investigated using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Two forms of DPPH were identified: at higher ethanol ratios a quintet spectrum characteristic of solutions, and at lower ratios, a singlet spectrum typical for solid DPPH, were found. Mixed solvents with 0-50% (v/v) water reproduced the same antioxidant equivalent points well and the reaction rate between DPPH and the antioxidant may increase considerably with increasing water ratios, as demonstrated using vitamin E as an antioxidant. But at still higher water ratios (70-90% (v/v)) the antioxidant activities dropped, since a part of the DPPH in the aggregated form does not react sufficiently with the antioxidants. Characteristics of the most common antioxidants were determined in ethanol or its 50% (v/v) aqueous solution.
