Abstract
Pancreatic cancer, is an aggressive type of cancer and the most common malignancy with a poor prognosis regarding metastatic disease (survival < 10 %). The development of Novel chemotherapeutic drugs holds significant prospects for practical applications. Here, this work focuses on the interaction between two lanthanide complexes, Yb-BZA and Er-BZA, with DNA, as well as their anticancer activity against pancreatic cancer. The relationship between complexes and DNA is revealed by fluorescence, absorption spectral titration, cyclic voltammetric (CV) experiments, indicating that the Yb-BZA and Er-BZA interact with FS-DNA by bind groove. Moreover, molecular docking technology was utilized to confirm the binding of Yb-BZA and Er-BZA with 1BNA and 4AV1. The cytotoxic effects of Yb-BZA and Er-BZA on cancer cells BxPC-3 were evaluated, Yb-BZA (IC50 = 6.459 μg/mL) is more effective than oxaliplatin (IC50 = 16.46 μg/mL) evaluated using cytotoxicity assay. Yb-BZA and Er-BZA has the potential to become a chemotherapy drug for pancreatic cancer cells.

Abstract
Precise DNA quantification and nuclear imaging are pivotal for clinical testing, pathological diagnosis, and drug development. The detection and localization of mitochondrial DNA serve as crucial indicators of cellular health. We introduce a novel conjugated oligoelectrolyte (COE) molecule, COE-S3, featuring a planar backbone composed of three benzene rings and terminal side chains. This unique amphiphilic structure endows COE-S3 with exceptional water solubility, a high quantum yield of 0.79, and a significant fluorescence Stokes shift (λex = 366 nm, λem = 476 nm), alongside a specific fluorescence response to DNA. The fluorescence intensity correlates proportionally with DNA concentration. COE-S3 interacts with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) through an intercalation binding mode, exhibiting a binding constant (K) of 1.32 × 106 M-1. Its amphiphilic nature and strong DNA affinity facilitate its localization within mitochondria in living cells and nuclei in apoptotic cells. Remarkably, within 30 min of COE-S3 staining, cell vitality can be discerned through real-time nuclear fluorescence imaging of apoptotic cells. COE-S3's high DNA selectivity enables quantitative intracellular DNA analysis, providing insights into cell proliferation, differentiation, and growth. Our findings underscore COE-S3, with its strategically designed, shortened planar backbone, as a promising intercalative probe for DNA quantification and nuclear imaging.

A Minor Groove Binder with Significant Cytotoxicity on Human Lung Cancer Cells: The Potential of Hesperetin Functionalised Silver Nanoparticles. J Fluoresc 2023:10.1007/s10895-023-03409-7. [PMID: 37721707 DOI: 10.1007/s10895-023-03409-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
Natural drug functionalised silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) have gained significant interest in pharmacology related applications due to their therapeutic efficiency. We have synthesised silver nanoparticle using hesperetin as a reducing and capping agent. This work aims to discuss the relevance of the hesperetin functionalised silver nanoparticles (H-AgNPs) in the field of nano-medicine. The article primarily investigates the anticancer activity of H-AgNPs and then their interactions with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) through spectroscopic and thermodynamic techniques. The green synthesised H-AgNPs are stable, spherical in shape and size of 10 ± 3 nm average diameter. The complex formation of H-AgNPs with ctDNA was established by UV-Visible absorption, fluorescent dye displacement assay, isothermal calorimetry and viscosity measurements. The binding constants obtained from these experiments were consistently in the order of 104 Mol-1. The melting temperature analysis and FTIR measurements confirmed that the structural alterations of ctDNA by the presence of H-AgNPs are minimal. All the thermodynamic variables and the endothermic binding nature were acquired from ITC experiments. All these experimental outcomes reveal the formation of H-AgNPs-ctDNA complex, and the results consistently verify the minor groove binding mode of H-AgNPs. The binding constant and limit of detection of 1.8 μM found from the interaction studies imply the DNA detection efficiency of H-AgNPs. The cytotoxicity of H-AgNPs against A549 and L929 cell lines were determined by in vitro MTT cell viability assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. The cell viability and LDH enzyme release are confirmed that the H-AgNPs has high anticancer activity. Moreover, the calculated LD50 value for H-AgNPs against lung cancer cells is 118.49 µl/ml, which is a low value comparing with the value for fibroblast cells (269.35 µl/ml). In short, the results of in vitro cytotoxicity assays revealed that the synthesised nanoparticles can be considered in applications related to cancer treatments. Also, we have found that, H-AgNPs is a minor groove binder, and having high DNA detection efficiency.

Abstract
A novel fluorenone appended Schiff base (L) has been synthesized and utilized for studying the binding interactions with Calf Thymus DNA (ct-DNA). The mechanism of binding with ct-DNA was explored by employing various spectroscopic techniques viz. UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, gel-electrophoresis, circular dichroism (CD), melting studies, viscosity arrays and molecular modelling methodology. The interpretation of UV-vis absorbance spectra pointed to binding of L within minor groove of ct-DNA with the binding constant of Kb = 0.15 × 104 M-1. Dye-displacement studies with Rhodamine-B (RhB) and Ethylene Bromide (EB) in fluorescence spectroscopy verified the groove binding mode of interaction between L and ct-DNA. Melting studies, circular dichroism, and viscosity studies further elucidated the binding modes of L with ct-DNA. Thermodynamic variable measurements taken at various temperatures such as ΔG⁰, ΔH⁰, and ΔS⁰ revealed that hydrophobic forces played a significant role in the binding process. The meticulous computational interaction demonstrated by molecular docking confirmed the minor groove binding of L with ct-DNA.

Abstract
The present work focuses on the study of the aggregation and complexing properties of calixarenes as potential DNA condensation agents for gene delivery. In the current study, 1,4-triazole derivatives of calix[4]arenes 7 and 8 containing monoammonium fragments were synthesized. The synthesized compound's structure was characterized by using various spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, HRESI MS, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR). The interactions between a series of calix[4]arene-containing aminotriazole groups (triazole-containing macrocycles with diethylenetriammonium fragments (3 and 4) and triazole-containing macrocycles with monoammonium fragments (7 and 8)) and calf thymus DNA were carried out via UV absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The role of the binding forces of calixarene-DNA complexes was analyzed. Photophysical and morphological studies revealed the interaction of the calixarenes 3, 4 and 8 with ct-DNA, which transformed the fibrous structure of ct-DNA to completely condensed compact structures that are 50 nm in diameter. The cytotoxic properties of calixarenes 3, 4, 7 and 8 against cancerous cells (MCF7, PC-3) as well as a healthy cell line (HSF) were investigated. Compound 4 was found to have the highest toxic effect on MCF7 breast adenocarcinoma (IC50 3.3 μM).

Abstract
The interaction of antifolate drug Pemetrexed (PEM) with CT-DNA has been studied by UV-Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopic techniques. The results of these spectroscopic studies in combination with viscosity measurements, voltammetric and KI quenching studies suggested a less-common mode of binding of PEM with CT-DNA i.e. neither intercalation nor groove binding. Thus, metadynamic (MD) simulation is utilized to decipher the nature of binding of PEM with CT-DNA. Analysis of free energy surfaces obtained in MD simulation, reveals that PEM binds to the 3'- and 5'-ends of the DNA molecule. The thermodynamics of the interaction has been investigated by isothermal titration calorimetric experiment. The analysis shows that PEM binds with CT-DNA strongly with a binding constant of 2.6x109 M-1 and the process is found to be spontaneous (ΔG - 12.84 kcal/mol). Further, positive values of enthalpy (ΔH 6.09 cal/mol) and entropy (ΔS 43.1 cal/mol) changes indicate that the binding is an enthalpically unfavourable and, instead, entropically driven process.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In this study, deep eutectic solvent oscillation-assisted extraction (DES-OS) combined with macroporous resin adsorption and desorption technology was used to achieve the rapid green extraction and separation of the characteristic component dihydromyricetin (DMY) from vine tea. Multivariate data analysis showed that the DES system composed of tetrabutylammonium bromide (N444Br) and pyruvic acid (molar ratio 1 : 2) had good extraction performance for DMY. The influence parameters of DES-OS were studied, and optimized by the single-factor test and response surface methodology (RSM) with Box–Behnken design (BBD). The extraction model of DMY was established and verified. The results showed that the extraction yield of DMY could reach 40.1 mg g−1 under the optimal conditions (DES water contents of 71.18%, extraction time of 2.80 h, extraction temperature of 46.40 °C), which is in good agreement with the predicted value. In addition, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to characterize the solvent before and after extraction. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results further confirmed that tetrabutylammonium bromide:pyruvate enhanced the destruction of the cell wall structure, resulting in the release of more DMY. Furthermore, different macroporous resins were selected for the separation of DMY for the DES-OS extract, and it was found that the DM301 resin had the ideal recovery performance under optimized dynamic condition. Finally, the product was found to have an inhibitory effect against xanthine oxidase (XO) as a mixed-type competitive inhibitor with IC50 values of (5.79 ± 0.22) × 10−5 mol L−1. The inhibitory mechanisms of DMY on XO were explored by enzyme kinetics, spectroscopy, molecular docking and molecular dynamics analysis approaches, which provided a theoretical basis for the above inhibition assays. In this study, deep eutectic solvent oscillation-assisted extraction (DES-OS) combined with macroporous resin adsorption and desorption technology was used to achieve the rapid green extraction and separation of dihydromyricetin (DMY) from vine tea.![]()

Abstract
Drugs, in general, exhibit their pharmacological activity in binding with intracellular targets. Numerous anticancer and antibacterial drugs target DNA as one of their primary intracellular targets. Dexlansoprazole (DLP) is a heterocyclic compound containing benzimidazole moiety and a proton pump inhibitor used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. The interaction of dexlansoprazole with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been studied using biophysical methods. The UV-Visible studies revealed a binding constant of 2.15 ± 0.3 × 104 M-1 which is close to the value of 2.44 ± 0.3 × 104 M-1 obtained from the fluorescence studies. Competitive displacement studies using the fluorescence spectroscopic method with ethidium bromide and Hoechst as DNA markers suggested the groove binding mode of DLP in ct-DNA. The groove binding mode of DLP in ct-DNA was complemented by the results of viscosity and DNA melting studies. Further studies on the effect of ionic strength and potassium iodide on DLP binding with ct-DNA supported the observed binding mode. Circular dichroism studies reflected no significant conformational variation in ct-DNA after the interaction. The binding mode obtained from the experimental studies was corroborated by the molecular docking studies that showed the position of DLP in the minor groove of ct-DNA along with the receptor interface restudies involved in the interaction.

Abstract
The nucleus is considered the ideal target for anti-tumor therapy because DNA and some enzymes in the nucleus are the main causes of cell canceration and malignant proliferation. However, nuclear target drugs with good biosafety and high efficiency in cancer treatment are rare. Herein, a nuclear-targeted material MeTPAE with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics was developed based on a triphenylamine structure skeleton. MeTPAE can not only interact with histone deacetylases (HDACs) to inhibit cell proliferation but also damage telomere and nucleic acids precisely through photodynamic treatment (PDT). The cocktail strategy of MeTPAE caused obvious cell cycle arrest and showed excellent PDT anti-tumor activity, which offered new opportunities for the effective treatment of malignant tumors.

[PMID: 34818732 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.131280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the binding mechanism between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and three gingerols ([6]-, [8]- and [10]-gingerol) was evaluated to explore an effective strategy for improving solubility and stability of gingerols. The fluorescence analysis suggested gingerols could bind with BSA to form a stable BSA/gingerols complex and [10]-gingerol had the strongest binding affinity (Ka = 4.016 × 104 L/mol) at 298 K. Thermodynamic parameters and molecular modeling validated that hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonds were the main driving force for the interaction of BSA/gingerols. Gingerols bound to BSA at site I (subdomain IIA) resulted in a conformational change of BSA with a structure shrinkage, which was responsible for the decrease of surface hydrophobicity. The formation of BSA/gingerols complexes promoted the solubility of [6]-, [8]- and [10]-gingerol increasing by 1.50, 6.04 and 23.50 times, respectively. In addition, the stability and antioxidant capacity of gingerols was significantly improved after binding with BSA.

Abstract
The interactions between calf thymus DNA and a series of glucose-based cationic gemini surfactants 1a-1c with different spacer length, n = 4, 6 and 8, were studied by UV absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, FT-IR, dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The results showed that all the surfactants could interact with DNA efficiently. On addition of increasing concentration of the surfactants, UV absorption hypochromicity with insignificant blue shift were observed, until the DNA signal disappeared. The surfactant 1c was more efficient in the reduction of absorption intensity of DNA. According to the fluorescence quenching experiments by ethidium bromide exclusion, 1c exhibited the highest binding properties, with the binding constant at 3.25 × 108 L·mol-1. The spectroscopy study indicated that the surfactants bound with the DNA by a non-intercalative mode, mainly electrostatic interaction between the positively charged headgroups of the surfactants and negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA at low concentration, and the hydrophobic interaction among the alkyl chains at high concentration. The conformation of DNA during the interaction process could be kept B-form of DNA. For 1c, the DNA molecules can be compacted to about 103 nm in hydrodynamic diameter at 0.2 mM, while the minimum sizes of DNA were 140 nm and 133 nm, respectively, in the presence of 1a and 1b. The impact of the cationic gemini surfactants on the DNA compaction and condensation would shed light on their potential applications in gene delivery.

LUMINESCENCE 2021; 37:310-322.

Abstract
With advances in new drug therapies, it is essential to understand the interactions between drugs and target molecules. In this study, we applied multiple spectroscopic techniques including absorbance, fluorescence, circular dichroism spectroscopy, viscosity, thermal melting, calorimetric, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to study the interaction between 2-Ethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl) pyramido pyrazole ophthalazine trione (PPF) and calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) in the absence or presence of histone H1. PPF exhibits a high binding affinity towards ct DNA in binary and ternary systems. In addition, the result for the binding constant was observed within the range 104 M-1 achieved through fluorescence quenching data, while the values for enthalpy and entropy changes for ct DNA-PPF and (ct DNA-H1) PPF complexes were measured to be -72.54 kJ.mol-1 , -161.14 J.mol-1 K-1 , -85.34 kJ.mol-1 , and -19.023 J.mol-1 K-1 , respectively. Furthermore, in accordance with circular dichroism spectra, the inducement of ct DNA structural changes was observed during binding of PPF and H1 in binary and ternary system forms. The essential roles of hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces throughout the interaction were suggested using thermodynamic parameters. According to the obtained data, the interaction mode of ct DNA-PPF and (ct DNA-H1) PPF complexes was intercalation binding. Suggested by the MD simulation study, the ct DNA-H1 complex caused a reduction in the stability of the DNA structure in the presence or absence of ligand, which demonstrated that PPF as an intercalating agent can further distort the structure. The information achieved from this study will be very helpful in understanding the effects of PPF on the conformational state of ct DNA in the absence or presence of the H1 molecule, which seems to be quite significant for clarifying the mechanisms of action and its pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a prototype of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with potential mutagenicity, toxicity and carcinogenicity, is ubiquitous in deep-fried foods. Herein, the changes in eight specific PAHs (PAH8) concentration in sunflower oil during frying were investigated by gas chromatography-triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ-MS). PAH8 concentrations in sunflower oil were 23.92-27.82 μg kg-1 and increased with increasing frying time. The detected BaP levels were 3.64-4.00 μg kg-1, exceeding the upper limit (2 μg kg-1) set by European Union (EU), though below the limiting value (10 μg kg-1) in China. The interaction between BaP and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was explored through various spectroscopic methods and molecular docking. Melting studies, denaturation experiments, ionic strength effects and viscosity measurements indicated that BaP interacted with ctDNA primarily via groove binding as evidenced by circular dichroism analysis and molecular docking. Further gel electrophoresis assays suggested that DNA was damaged at high levels of BaP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF), a by-product of the Maillard reaction, usually present in fried and baked food, may cause potential harm to the human body. Here, the interaction between 5-HMF and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) under physiological buffer (pH 7.4) was studied using multi-spectroscopic methods combined with multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) chemometrics and molecular simulation techniques. RESULTS The concentration profiles and pure spectra of the three components (5-HMF, ctDNA and 5-HMF-ctDNA complex) were extracted from highly overlapping spectra using MCR-ALS analysis, which verified the formation of 5-HMF-ctDNA complex. The binding constant being of the order of 103 L mol-1 at four temperatures (292, 298, 304 and 310 K) indicated a weak affinity in the binding of 5-HMF to ctDNA. The binding interaction was mainly driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Viscosity analysis, melting assay, ionic strength effect and competitive fluorescence studies ascertained that 5-HMF bound to ctDNA through groove binding, and it tended to bind to guanine-cytosine rich region of ctDNA which was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectra and molecular docking. Circular dichroism spectral analysis and DNA cleavage assays indicated that the ctDNA conformation was altered from B to A form and 5-HMF caused DNA damage at higher concentration. CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that 5-HMF bound to ctDNA through groove binding and caused DNA damage. This research may contribute to understand the binding mechanism of 5-HMF to ctDNA and to the assessment of the toxicological effect of 5-HMF in biological processes. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The combination effects of nanodiamonds (NDs) and Paclitaxel (PTX) on the DNA structure were examined. The UV-Visible, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, CD, viscosity and zeta potential results showed that PTX + NDs could form a complex via groove binding mechanism. The values of binding constants, ΔG° and ΔH° and ΔS° values showed that PTX + NDs interact strongly with DNA and the hydrophobic force plays main role in this interaction. The ΔG25ο and Tm study indicated the instability of DNA in presence of PTX + NDs. This study demonstrated that NDs could enhance the effect of PTX on DNA structure as well as its affinity and binding to DNA.

Abstract
DNA is a major target for a number of anticancer substances. Interaction studies between small molecules and DNA are essential for rational drug designing to influence main biological processes and also introducing new probes for the assay of DNA. Tschimgine (TMG) is a monoterpene derivative with anticancer properties. In the present study we tried to elucidate the interaction of TMG with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) using different spectroscopic methods. UV-visible absorption spectrophotometry, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies as well as molecular docking study revealed formation of complex between TMG and CT-DNA. Binding constant (Kb) between TMG and DNA was 2.27×104M-1, that is comparable to groove binding agents. The fluorescence spectroscopic data revealed that the quenching mechanism of fluorescence of TMG by CT-DNA is static quenching. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔH<0 and ΔS<0) at different temperatures indicated that van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds were involved in the binding process of TMG with CT-DNA. Competitive binding assay with methylene blue (MB) and Hoechst 33258 using fluorescence spectroscopy displayed that TMG possibly binds to the minor groove of CT-DNA. These observations were further confirmed by CD spectral analysis, viscosity measurements and molecular docking.
