Cardiovascular drugs and triazole based kinase inhibitors as a new strategies for the treatment of Alzheimer disease

The study on the interactions of two 1,2,3-triazoles with several biological macromolecules by multiple spectroscopic methodologies and molecular docking

1-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (CPTC) and 5-(3-chlorophenyl) -1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (PCTA) are two new derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole. Their structural and spectral properties were characterized by density functional theory calculations (DFT). The binding properties of CPTC or PCTA with several typical biomacromolecules such as human serum albumin (HSA), bovine hemoglobin (BHb), human immunoglobulin (HIgG) or DNA were investigated by molecular docking and multiple spectroscopic methodologies. The different parameters including binding constants and thermodynamic parameters for CPTC/PCTA-HSA/BHb/HIgG/DNA systems were obtained based on various fluorescence enhancement or quenching mechanisms. The results of binding constants indicated that there were the strong interactions between two triazoles and four biological macromolecules due to the higher order of magnitude between 10³ and 10⁵. The values of thermodynamic parameters revealed that the binding forces for these systems are mainly hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic force, or hydrogen bond, respectively, which are in agreement with the results of molecular docking to a certain extent. Moreover, the information from synchronous, 3D fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopies proved that two compounds CPTC and PCTA could affect the microenvironment of amino acids residues of three kinds of proteins. Based on the above experimental results, a comparison of the interaction mechanisms for CPTC/PCTA-proteins/DNA systems have been performed in view of their different molecular structures, which is beneficial for the further research in order to design them as the novel drugs.
