SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 319:124586. [PMID: 38833886 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Pesticides, including fungicides, are one of the important groups of environmental toxins that affect human and animal health. Studies have shown that these compounds are considered chemical pollutants. Carbendazim is a systemic fungicide. Unfortunately, excessive use of carbendazim has caused environmental pollution all over the world. In this study, the effect of carbendazim on the enzyme elastase (secreted from the endocrine gland of the pancreas) has been investigated. In a study, the performance and reaction of carbendazim with elastase were investigated using spectroscopic techniques. The stability and structure of elastase enzymes were studied under the influence of carbendazim. The results of fluorescence emission and UV-visible absorption spectrum showed that in the presence of carbendazim, there is an increase in UV-Vis absorption and a decrease in the intensity of the intrinsic fluorescence emission in the protein spectrum. Additionally, a decrease in the thermal stability of elastase was observed in the presence of carbendazim. The stability and structure of elastase enzyme were investigated in the presence of carbendazim. The results revealed that the UV-Vis absorption increased due to the presence of carbendazim, as indicated by the hyperchromic spectrum at 220 and 280 nm peaks. Additionally, the intrinsic fluorescence emission in the protein spectrum decreased with increasing carbendazim concentration at three different temperatures (298, 303, and 313 K). Moreover, the study demonstrated that the TM decreased from 2.59 to 4.58 with the increase of carbendazim, suggesting a decrease in the stability of the elastase structure in response to the elevated carbendazim concentration. According to the results of the research, the interaction between elastase and carbendazim has occurred, and changes have been made in the enzyme under the influence of carbendazim. The formation of the complex between elastase and carbendazim was consistent with the results obtained from molecular simulation and confirmed the thermodynamic data.

Abstract
Nowadays, cancer represents one of the major causes of death in humans worldwide, which renders the quest for new and improved antineoplastic agents to become an urgent issue in the field of biomedicine and human health. The present research focuses on the synthesis of 2,3,2',3'-tetra(pyridin-2-yl)-6,6'-biquinoxaline) and (2,3,2',3'-tetra(thiophen-2-yl)-6,6'-biquinoxaline) containing copper(II) and platinum(II) compounds as prodrug candidates. The binding interaction of these compounds with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and human serum albumin were assessed with UV titration, thermal decomposition, viscometric, and fluorometric methods. The thermodynamical parameters and the temperature-dependent binding constant (K'b) values point out to spontaneous interactions between the complexes and CT-DNA via the van der Waals interactions and/or hydrogen bonding, except Cu(ttbq)Cl2 for which electrostatic interaction was proposed. The antitumor activity of the complexes against several human glioblastomata, lung, breast, cervix, and prostate cell lines were investigated by examining cell viability, oxidative stress, apoptosis-terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling, in vitro migration and invasion, in vitro-comet DNA damage, and plasmid DNA interaction assays. The U87 and HeLa cells were investigated as the cancer cells most sensitive to our complexes. The exerted cytotoxic effect of complexes was attributed to the formation of the reactive oxygen species in vitro. It is clearly demonstrated that Cu(ttbq)Cl2, Pt(ttbq)Cl2, and Pt(tpbq)Cl2 have the highest DNA degradation potential and anticancer effect among the tested complexes by leading apoptosis. The wound healing and invasion analysis results also supported the higher anticancer activity of these two compounds.

Abstract
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are newly emerging estrogenic environmental pollutants, which attracted widespread public interest owing to their potential threats to human. Here, the interaction between two typical aromatic OPFRs, TPHP/EHDPP and HSA was researched by different experiments. Experimental results indicated that TPHP/EHDPP can insert the site I of HSA and be encircled by several amino acid residues, Asp451, Glu292, Lys195, Trp214 and Arg218 played vital roles in this binding process. At 298 K, the Ka value of TPHP-HSA complex was 5.098 × 104 M-1, and the Ka value of EHDPP-HSA was 1.912 × 104 M-1. Except H-bonds and van der Waals forces, the π-electrons on the phenyl ring of aromatic-based OPFRs played a pivotal role in maintaining the stability of the complexes. The content alterations of HSA were observed in the present of TPHP/EHDPP. The IC50 values of TPHP and EHDPP were 157.9 μM and 31.14 μM to GC-2spd cells, respectively. And the existence of HSA has a regulatory effect on the reproductive toxicity of TPHP/EHDPP. In addition, the results of present work implied Ka values of OPFRs and HSA are possible to be a useful parameter for evaluating their relative toxicity.

Abstract
Azo dyes are made in significant amounts annually and released into the environment after being employed in the industry. There are some reports about the toxic effects of these dyes on several organisms. Thus, the textile dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) has been examined for its cytotoxic effects on the human serum albumin (HSA) structure. Molecular interaction between RB5 and HSA indicated the combination of docking methods, molecular dynamic simulation, and multi-spectroscopic approaches. HSA's intrinsic fluorescence was well quenched with enhancing RB5 level, confirming complex formation. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was done to study the cytotoxic effects of RB5 and HSA conformation. Molecular modeling revealed that the RB5-HSA complex was stabilized by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions. The results of molecular docking revealed that the binding energy of RB5 to HSA was - 27.94 kJ/mol. The change in secondary structure causes the annihilation of hydrogen bonding networks and the reduction of biological activity. This research can indicate a suitable molecular modeling interaction of RB5 and HAS and broaden our knowledge for azo dye toxicity under natural conditions.

Abstract
The interactions of ruthenium(II) complex with Glucose inhibited division protein A (GidA protein) was studied through various spectroscopic techniques with the ultimate goal of preparing adducts with good selectivity for cancer cells. In all the cases, formation of a tight metal-protein conjugate was observed. The influence of pH, reducing agents and chelators on the formation of adduct was analysed by UV- visible spectroscopy. While there was no effect on the addition of sodium ascorbate, some alterations on some selected bands were seen on the UV-visible spectra on the addition of EDTA. The adduct was stable in the pH range of 5-8. Addition of ruthenium(II) complex effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of GidA and it occurred through static quenching. The effect of ruthenium(II) complex on the conformation of GidA has been examined by analyzing CD spectrum. Though, there was some conformational changes observed in the presence of ruthenium(II) complex, α- helix in the secondary structure of GidA retained its identity. Molecular docking of ruthenium(II) complex with GidA also indicated that GidA docks through hydrophobic interaction. The stable semisynthetic complex (ruthenium(II) complex with GidA) was checked for topoisomerase II inhibition. Relaxation and decatenation assay proved topoisomerase II inhibition of semisynthetic complex.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Purpose Gastric injury is a major issue for long-term administration of aspirin. In this work, we tried to explore the possibility of using BLG to alleviate aspirin-induced gastric injury, because of excellent abilities of BLG in loading drug molecules. Methods Various spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking methods were applied to investigate the interaction mechanism between BLG and aspirin. Animal experiments were performed to figure out the effects of taking aspirin-BLG on the stomach. Results Our results demonstrate that aspirin could bind with BLG to form stable aspirin-BLG complex (the binding constant Kb= 2.051 × 103 M−1). The formation process is endothermic (∆H>0) and the main acting force is hydrophobic force. Our data also show that the aspirin-BLG complex is formed with a higher affinity in simulated gastric fluid and could remain stable for several hours, which might arise from its special binding mode under acidic condition and the resistance of BLG to gastric digestion. Furthermore, animal models (rats with aspirin-induced gastric damage) were built. The results of animal experiments reveal that the oral administration of aspirin-BLG could cause less damage to gastric tissue, and it also hardly triggers obvious inflammatory responses. Conclusion This study would contribute to an in-depth understanding of the interaction mechanism between BLG and aspirin. It is reasonable to believe that using BLG to bind with aspirin would be a potential way to alleviate the aspirin-induced gastric injury.

Abstract
The abuse application of glyphosate can result in a potential hazard for environment and human, however its ultrasensitive detection remains challenging. Herein, a Cu2+ modulated DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) sensor was constructed to sensitively determine glyphosate based on the turn-on fluorescence strategy. The fluorescence quenching of DNA-AgNCs occurred with the existence of Cu2+. Upon the presence of glyphosate, the functional groups on the surface of glyphosate could chelate with Cu2+, following the fluorescence recovery of DNA-AgNCs. Through the stoichiometric methods, we unveil that Cu2+-trigged fluorescence quenching mode is a combination of static and dynamic quenching with the static mode being predominant. In DNA-AgNCs/Cu2+ system, the carboxylate, amine, and phosphonate groups of glyphosate interact with Cu2+ through chelation, in which the carboxylate oxygen, the phosphonate oxygen atoms, and the monoprotonated secondary amine nitrogen atom and Cu2+ form chelate rings. This fluorescence sensor showed a desired linearity of glyphosate analysis under the optimum conditions, ranging from 15 to 100 μg/L with a low detection down to 5 μg/L. Moreover, the proposed sensor was successfully utilized to measure glyphosate in real samples, indicating a promising application in pesticide residues detection.

Abstract
We synthesized and characterized the ruthenium(iii) pincer-type complex [RuCl3(H2Lt-Bu] (H2Lt-Bu = 2,6-bis(5-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine, 1) by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the mass spectrometry (MS) method ESI Q-TOF. For comparison reasons, we also studied ruthenium(iii) terpyridine complexes of the general formula [Ru(N-N-N)Cl3], where N-N-N = 4'-chloro-terpyridine (Cl-tpy; 2) or 4'-chlorophenyl-terpyridine (Cl-Ph-tpy; 3). A kinetic study of the substitution reactions of 1-3 with biomolecules showed that the rate constants depend on the properties of the spectator ligand and the nature of the entering nucleophile. The DNA/HSA binding study showed that in comparison to complex 1 (bis-pyrazolylpyridine), the other two (2 and 3) terpyridine complexes had a slightly better binding affinity to calf thymus DNA (CT DNA), while in the case of human serum albumin (HSA), complex 1 exhibited the strongest quenching ability. We demonstrated that 1 possesses significant in vitro cytotoxic activity against mouse colon carcinoma CT26 cells and in vivo antitumor activity in murine heterotopic colon carcinoma. Complex 1 induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptotic death in CT26 cells. Additionally, 1 showed antiproliferative activity, as evaluated by the detection of the expression levels of the Ki67 protein. Furthermore, the in vivo results showed that 1 reduced primary tumour growth and the number and growth of lung and liver metastases, significantly prolonging the treated mice's survival rate. This study highlighted that 1 does not show hepato- and nephrotoxicity. Our data demonstrated the considerable antitumor activity of the ruthenium(iii) pincer complex against CT26 tumour cells and implicated further investigations of its role as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for colon carcinoma.

Abstract
Titin is a giant elastic protein which is responsible for passive muscle stiffness when muscle sarcomeres are stretched. Chloramphenicol, besides being a broad-spectrum antibiotic, also acts as a muscle relaxant. Therefore, it is important to study the interaction between titin I27 and chloramphenicol. We investigated the interaction of chloramphenicol with octamer of titin I27 using single-molecule force spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence data indicated that binding of chloramphenicol with I27 results in fluorescence quenching. Furthermore, it is observed that chloramphenicol binds to I27 at a particular concentration ([Formula: see text] 40 μM). Single-molecule force spectroscopy shows that, in the presence of 40 μM chloramphenicol concentration, the I27 monomers become mechanically stable, resulting in an increment of the unfolding force. The stability was further confirmed by chemical denaturation experiments on monomers of I27, which corroborate the evidence for enhanced mechanical stability at 40 μM drug concentration. The free energy of stabilization for I27 (wild type) was found to be 1.95 ± 0.93 kcal/mole and I27 with 40 μM drug was 3.25 ± 0.63 kcal/mole. The results show a direct effect of the broad-spectrum antibiotic chloramphenicol on the passive elasticity of muscle protein titin. The I27 is stabilized both mechanically and chemically by chloramphenicol.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 252:119538.

Abstract
The interactions of proteins with drugs are very important from a pharmacological point of view. Holo-transferrin is a blood-plasma glycoprotein whose main function is iron-binding and the transport of other ligands. Additionally, the protein is only transferrin-form recognized by TfR1 and TfR2 receptors at the surface of rapidly proliferating malignant cells. Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor mainly used in the treatment of blood cancers, frequently in multidrug therapy with cyclophosphamide. In this study the effect of cyclophosphamide on the interaction of imatinib mesylate with human holo-transferrin has been investigated. Using spectroscopic techniques such as fluorescence, circular dichroism, ultraviolet-visible and electrophoretic light scattering additive parameters, system stability and the effect of the ligands on the protein conformation at varying pH values have been defined. Calculated quenching constants are in the order of 2 × 104 M-1 and the type of interaction depends on the reaction medium. Under physiological conditions binding constant is 1.329 × 106 M-1 whereas in an environment similar to that of cancer cells the constant is significantly lower, Ka = 6.060 × 104 M-1. N values are approximate to 1 in all cases. Moreover, some changes are observed in the α-helical structure of the protein after interaction with the drugs and the presence of cyclophosphamide slightly stabilizes the protein secondary structure. All collected data proves the effect of cyclophosphamide on the interaction between imatinib mesylate and human holo-transferrin. It is of great clinical interest due to anticancer, multidrug therapies including both imatinib mesylate and cyclophosphamide.

Abstract
Stability of proteins plays a significant role not only in their biological function but also in medical science and protein engineering. Since proteins are only stable in special conditions, maintaining their stability and function in biological and biotechnological applications may pose serious challenges. Osmolytes provide a general method of shielding proteins from the unfolding and aggregation caused by extreme stress on the environment. In such studies, the researchers used spectroscopic and simulation approaches to study the alterations of the myoglobin structure and stability in glycerol presence. Experimental results showed a stability improvement of the complex myoglobin-glycerol. After the addition of glycerol resulting in the initiation of hydrogen bonds and higher levels of hydrophobicity, the increase of the Tm was observed. The static mode quenching observed in this study. Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bindings had a decisive and significant role concerning the stability of protein which was consistent with the modeling results. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that the glycerol presence could enhance myoglobin stability. The consistency between the theoretical studies and experimental findings demonstrates that the method proposed in this study could provide a useful method for protein-ligand complex investigations.

Abstract
In this study, five new complexes containing deferiprone (dfp) and N,N-donor ligands [bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and ethylenediamine (en)] were synthesized: [Fe(dfp)2(bpy)](PF6) (1), [Fe(dfp)2(phen)](PF6) (2), [Cu2(dfp)2(bpy)2](PF6)2 (3), [Ga(dfp)2(bpy)](PF6) (4), and [Fe(dfp)2(en)](PF6) (5). Characterization of these complexes was carried out through elemental analysis and FT-IR, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography was used to determine their structures. Whilst the polyhedron has a distorted octahedral geometry in 1, 2, 4, and 5, it adopts a distorted square-pyramidal geometry in 3. Interaction of these compounds with human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated through electronic absorption and fluorescence titration techniques. Emission quenching was performed separately for each complex at three different temperatures and thermodynamic parameters were calculated using binding constants to better understand the power of different binding forces with the HSA. Results demonstrated that compounds interact strongly with the HSA with a static quenching mechanism. Our evaluation of the cytotoxicity of complexes against the breast cancer MCF-7 cell line showed that complex 2 presents a better cytotoxicity than the standard cis-Pt. Finally, using the AutoDock 4.2 program, simulations to analyze the mechanism of complex-HSA interactions and their binding mode were carried out. Results showed that the best binding mode is located in subdomain IB for 1, 2, and 4, in I/II for 3, and in IA/IIA for 5. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
A series of novel silver(i) 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpy), 4'-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2':6':2''-terpyridine (tpy-Ph-Me) and 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (dione) derivatives containing PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) or 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane-7-sulfide (PTA[double bond, length as m-dash]S) have been synthesized and fully characterized. Two types of complexes have been obtained, monocationic [Ag(tpy)(PTA)](NO3) (1), [Ag(tpy-Ph-Me)(PTA)](NO3) (2), [Ag(dione)(PTA[double bond, length as m-dash]S)](BF4) (4) and [Ag(dione)2](PF6) (5) and neutral [Ag(dione)(PTA[double bond, length as m-dash]S)(NO3)] (3). The solid-state structures of four complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 are luminescent at room temperature and 77 K while 5 shows emission only at 77 K. Compounds 3 and 4 are not emissive. Furthermore, representative light-stable and water-soluble 1 and 3 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities on the normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cell line and their antitumor activity using the human lung carcinoma (A549), epithelioid cervix carcinoma (HeLa) and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. Interactions between the complexes and human serum albumin (HSA) using UV-Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) were also investigated.

Abstract
l-Methionine (l-Met) is one of the necessary amino acids that play unparalleled roles, influencing both the protein structure and metabolism. Understanding the interactions between proteins and small molecules can be realized by various perspectives, and this is significant for the progression of basic sciences and drug development. In this study, the variations in the stability, function, and structure of α-Chymotrypsin (α-Chy) in the presence of l-Met were investigated using spectroscopic and computational approaches. The results of the UV-vis absorption demonstrated that α-Chy had a maximum peak at 280 nm due to the Trp residue. Hyperchromism shift was seen in the presence of l-Met. Ground state system was formed in the presence of l-Met, as confirmed by the fluorescence studies. Fluorescence variations also revealed static quenching. The CD spectra also represented the alteration of the enzyme with an increase in the α-helix and a decrease in the β-sheet. The activity of α-Chy was incremented in the presence of l-Met. Therefore, l-Met served as an activator. Molecular docking results also indicated a negative amount for the Gibbs free energy of the binding of l-Met to the enzyme. α-Chy became more stable in the presence of l-Met, based on the molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract
Two novel, neutral and water soluble Pd(II) complexes of formula [Pd(Gly)(Ala)] (1) and [Pd(Gly)(Val)] (2) (Gly, Ala, and Val are anionic forms of glycine, alanine, and valine amino acids, respectively) have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR, elemental analysis, and molar conductivity measurement. The data revealed that each amino acid binds to Pd(II) through the nitrogen of -NH2 and the oxygen of -COO- groups and acts as a bidentate chelate. These complexes have been assayed against leukemia cells (K562) using MTT method. The results indicated that both of the complexes display more cytotoxicity than the well-known anticancer drug, cisplatin. The interaction of the compounds with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) were assayed by a series of experimental techniques including electronic absorption, fluorescence, viscometry, gel electrophoresis, and FT-IR. The results indicated that the two complexes have interesting binding propensities toward CT-DNA as well as HSA and the binding affinity of (1) is more than (2). The fluorescence data indicated that both complexes strongly quench the fluorescence of ethidium bromide-DNA system as well as the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA via static quenching procedures. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG°) calculated from the fluorescence studies showed that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions play a major role in the binding of the complexes to DNA and HSA. We suggest that both of the Pd(II) complexes exhibit the groove binding mode with CT-DNA and interact with the main binding pocket of HSA. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
For determining the pharmacological properties of medicinal compounds, their binding with serum albumins is very crucial. Herein, we have selected safranal, a major constituent of saffron which is known to retain a number of medicinal properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, tumoricidal, anti-genotoxic, and anti-aging activities; and studied its mechanism of binding with human serum albumin at physiological pH using various spectroscopic methods along with computational approach using molecular docking. A change in the difference UV-visible spectrum of HSA in presence of safranal was found which is due to the complex formation. Owing to the strong absorption of safranal at the fluorescence excitation wavelength of HSA (295 nm) and in the whole range of emission, the fluorescence spectra of HSA in presence of safranal were corrected for the inner filter effect. After the correction the spectra were free from the safranal absorption effect and it was found that addition of safranal causes the quenching of HSA fluorescence and a blue shift of the emission maximum which are attributed to the binding of safranal to the protein and dominance of hydrophobic forces in the interaction, respectively. It was evident from the comparison of observed and corrected fluorescence spectra that before correction there was a large red shift while after correction appearance of blue shift was occurred. The involvement of hydrophobic interaction was also found from the extrinsic fluorescence measurements using ANS dye as well as from the analyzed thermodynamic parameters. Safranal was found to partially induce the secondary structure of HSA as construed from the CD measurements. The size of the HSA was also decreased as evident from the DLS and RLS measurements. Both site marker studies and molecular docking simulations suggested that the primary binding site of the safranal in the HSA is Sudlow's site 1 located in the subdomain IIA. Hydrophobic interaction provides the major contribution to the binding forces along with a little amount of hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
In this work, a pair of new palladium(II) complexes, [Pd(Gly)(Phe)] and [Pd(Gly)(Tyr)], (where Gly is glycine, Phe is phenylalanine, and Tyr is tyrosine) were synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, and conductivity measurements. The detailed 1H NMR and infrared spectral studies of these Pd(II) complexes ascertain the mode of binding of amino acids to palladium through nitrogen of -NH2 and oxygen of -COO- groups as bidentate chelates. The Pd(II) complexes have been tested for in vitro cytotoxicity activities against cancer cell line of K562. Interactions of these Pd(II) complexes with CT-DNA and human serum albumin were identified through absorption/emission titrations and gel electrophoresis which indicated significant binding proficiency. The binding distance (r) between these synthesized complexes and HSA based on Forster's theory of non-radiation energy transfer were calculated. Alterations of HSA secondary structure induced by complexes were confirmed by FT-IR measurements. The results of emission quenching at three temperatures have revealed that the quenching mechanism of these Pd(II) complexes with CT-DNA and HSA were the static and dynamic quenching mechanism, respectively. Binding constants (Kb), binding site number (n), and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters were calculated and revealed that the hydrogen binding and hydrophobic forces played a major role when Pd(II) complexes interacted with DNA and HSA, respectively. We bid that [Pd(Gly)(Phe)] and [Pd(Gly)(Tyr)] complexes exhibit the groove binding with CT-DNA and interact with the main binding pocket of HSA. The complexes follow the binding affinity order of [Pd(Gly)(Tyr)] > [Pd(Gly)(Phe)] with CT-DNA- and HSA-binding.

Abstract
Imatinib mesylate (Imt) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor mainly used in the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+CML). Human serum transferrin is the most abundant serum protein responsible for the transport of iron ions and many endogenous and exogenous ligands. In this study the mechanism of interactions between the imatinib mesylate and all states of transferrin (apo-Tf, Htf and holo-Tf) has been investigated by fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), circular dichroism (CD) and zeta potential spectroscopic methods. Based on the experimental results it was proved that under physiological conditions the imatinib mesylate binds to the each form of transferrin with a binding constant c.a. 105M-1. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals were involved in the interaction of apo-Tf with the drug and hydrophobic and ionic strength participate in the reaction of Htf and holo-Tf with imatinib mesylate. Moreover, it was shown that common metal ions, Zn2+ and Ca2+ strongly influenced apo-Tf-Imt binding constant. The CD studies showed that there are no conformational changes in the secondary structure of the proteins. No significant changes in secondary structure of the proteins upon binding with the drug and instability of apo-Tf-Imt system are the desirable effects from pharmacological point of view.

Abstract
In this study, a cytotoxic Pt(IV) complex [Pt(5,5'-dmbpy)Cl4 (5,5'-dmbpy is 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) was selected to investigate its affinity to human serum albumin (HSA) by spectroscopy and molecular docking methods. This complex has a bidentate nitrogen donor ligand with four chloride anions attached to a Pt(IV) metal in a distorted octahedral environment. The fluorescence data showed this complex quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching mechanism. The binding constant (Kb) and the number of binding sites (n) were obtained based on the results of fluorescence measurements. UV-vis, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy proved that the Pt(IV) complex could slightly change the secondary structure of protein. Thermodynamic parameters show that the Pt(IV) complex binds to HSA through electrostatic and Vander Waals interactions with one binding site. The molecular docking results confirmed the spectroscopic results and showed that Pt(IV) complex is embedded into subdomain IIA of protein. The aim of this study is to describe the performance of effective anti-cancer drugs when faced with proteins such as HSA.
