Zhou J, Li J, Cheng C, Yao Y, Li Y, Liu H, Wu L. Unraveling the binding behavior of the antifouling biocide 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one with human serum albumin: Multi-spectroscopic, atomic force microscope, computational simulation, and esterase activity. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133266. [PMID: 38906347 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133266] [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: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
As a marine antifouling biocide, 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) exhibited high toxicity to marine organisms. This study investigated the interaction between DCOIT and human serum albumin (HSA) using several spectroscopic techniques combined with computer prediction methods. The UV-vis absorption spectra, Stern-Volmer constant (KSV) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) results indicated that DCOIT caused static quenching of HSA fluorescence. The ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° values were -31.03 ± 0.17 kJ·mol-1, -133.54 ± 0.88 kJ·mol-1 and -348.46 ± 2.86 J.mol-1·K-1, respectively, suggesting that van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds governed the spontaneous formation of the complex. Synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy observed the burial of Trp residues within HSA and the unfolding of HSA secondary structure induced by DCOIT. Three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) further detected DCOIT-induced loosening of HSA peptide chain structure. Site displacement experiments indicated that DCOIT binding at site I of HSA. Computational predictions indicated that hydrophobic interactions were also essential in the complex. The increased RMSD, Rg, SASA, and RMSF confirmed that DCOIT weakened the stability and compactness of HSA, rendering residues more flexible. Lastly, esterase activity assays demonstrated that DCOIT inhibited esterase activity and interfered with the human detoxification process.

The photophysical, photobiological, and DNA/HSA-binding properties of corroles containing carbazole and phenothiazine moieties. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131861. [PMID: 38670207 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131861] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
This study characterized four corrole derivatives, namely Cbz-Cor, MetCbz-Cor, PTz-Cor, and PTzEt-Cor, examining their photophysical, electrochemical, photobiological, and biomolecule-binding properties. Experimental photophysical data of absorption and emission elements correlated with a theoretical analysis obtained through time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). As for the photophysical properties, we observed lower fluorescence quantum yields and discernible differences between the excited and ground states, as indicated by Stokes shift values. Natural Transition Orbit (NTO) plots presented high occupied molecular orbital - low unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) densities around the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle in all examples. Our findings demonstrate that corroles maintain stability in solution and offer photostability (<20 %), predominantly in DMSO(5 %)/Tris-HCl (pH 7.4) buffer solution. Furthermore, the singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum yield and log POW values underscore their potential application in photoinactivation approaches, as these corroles serve as effective ROS generators with more lipophilic features. We also evaluated their biomolecular binding capacity towards salmon sperm DNA and human serum albumin using spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking analysis for sustenance. Concerning biomolecule interaction profiles, the corrole derivatives showed a propensity for interacting in the minor grooves of the double helix DNA due to secondary forces, which were more pronounced in site III of the human serum protein.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:131148.

Abstract
Glucose interacts with human serum albumin (HSA, the main protein responsible for the biodistribution of drugs in the bloodstream) and consequently affects the binding capacity of exogenous compounds. Thus, in this work, the interactive profile between HSA and the anti-inflammatory drug nimesulide (NMD, used mainly by patients with diabetic neuropathy to relieve acute or chronic pains) was characterized in nonglycemic, normoglycemic (80 mg/dL), and hyperglycemic (320 mg/dL) conditions by biophysics techniques. There is a spontaneous and ground-state association HSA:NMD under physiological conditions. Therefore, the Stern-Volmer constant (Ksv) can also be used to estimate the binding affinity. The Ksv values for nonglycemic, normoglycemic, and hyperglycemic conditions are around 104 M-1, indicating a moderate affinity of NMD to albumin that was slightly improved by glucose levels. Additionally, the binding is enthalpically and entropically driven mainly into subdomains IIA or IIIA. The binding perturbs weakly the α-helix content of albumin, however, glucose potentially stabilizes the tertiary structure, decreasing the structural perturbation upon NMD binding and improves the complex HSA:NMD stability. Overall, the biophysical characterization indicated that glucose levels might slightly positively impact the pharmacokinetic profile of NMD, allowing NMD to achieve its therapeutical potential without affecting drastically its effective dosages.

Costa-Tuna A, Chaves OA, Loureiro RJS, Pinto S, Pina J, Serpa C. Interaction between a water-soluble anionic porphyrin and human serum albumin unexpectedly stimulates the aggregation of the photosensitizer at the surface of the albumin. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 255:128210. [PMID: 37992936 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
The 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-difluoro-3-sulfophenyl)porphyrin (TDFPPS4) was reported as a potential photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy. The capacity of the photosensitizers to be carried in the human bloodstream is predominantly determined by its extension of binding, binding location, and binding mechanism to human serum albumin (HSA), influencing its biodistribution and ultimately its photodynamic therapy efficacy in vivo. Thus, the present work reports a biophysical characterization on the interaction between the anionic porphyrin TDFPPS4 and HSA by UV-visible absorption, circular dichroism, steady-state, time-resolved, and synchronous fluorescence techniques under physiological conditions, combined with molecular docking calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. The interaction HSA:TDFPPS4 is spontaneous (ΔG° < 0), strong, and enthalpically driven (ΔH° = -70.1 ± 3.3 kJ mol-1) into subdomain IIA (site I). Curiously, despite the porphyrin binding into an internal pocket, about 50 % of TDFPPS4 structure is still accessible to the solvent, making aggregation in the bloodstream possible. In silico calculations were reinforced by spectroscopic data indicating porphyrin aggregation between bound and unbound porphyrins. This results in an adverse scenario for anionic porphyrins to achieve their therapeutical potential as photosensitizers and control of effective dosages. Finally, a trend of anionic porphyrins to have a combination of quenching mechanisms (static and dynamic) was noticed.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) effectively binds different types of low-molecular-weight compounds and thus enables their distribution in living organisms. Recently, it has been reported that the protein-ligand interactions play a crucial role in bioaccumulation processes and provide an important sorption phase, especially for ionogenic compounds. Therefore, the binding interactions of such compounds with proteins are the subject of an ongoing interest in environmental and life sciences. In this paper, the influence of some counter-ions, namely [B(CN)4]- and [C(CN)3]- on the affinity of the [IM1-12]+ towards HSA has been investigated and discussed based on experimental methods (isothermal titration calorimetry and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy) and molecular dynamics-based computational approaches. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the resulting HSA/ligand complexes was assessed using DSC and CD spectroscopy. As an outcome of the work, it has been ascertained that the protein is able to bind simultaneously the ligands under study but in different regions of HSA. Thus, the presence in the system of [IM1-12]+ does not disturb the binding of [C(CN)3]- and [B(CN)4]-. The presented results provide important information on the presence of globular proteins and some ionogenic compounds in the distribution and bioaccumulation of ILs in the environment and living organisms.

Abstract
We report the DNA-binding properties of three porphyrins with peripheral thienyl substituents (TThPor, PdTThPor and PtTThPor). The binding capacity of each porphyrin with DNA was determined by UV-Vis and steady-state fluorescence emission spectroscopy combined with molecular docking calculations. The results suggest that the interaction of these compounds probably occurs via secondary interactions via external grooves (minor grooves) around the DNA macromolecule. Moreover, porphyrins containing peripheral Pd(II) or Pt(II) complexes (PdTThPor and PtTThPor) were able to promote photo-damage in the DNA.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of new tri-cationic corrole derivatives, containing Pt(II) or Pd(II) complexes attached at the peripheral position of thienyl moieties. Corrole derivatives were characterized through microanalysis, electrochemical, spectrometry and spectroscopy analysis. Singlet and triplet excited-states are investigated by photophysical/theoretical calculation methods and photobiological parameters were also evaluated spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis and EPR). Also, the binding capacity of each corrole derivative with nucleic acids (DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) was determined by UV-Vis, steady-state, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, combined with molecular docking analysis. Moreover, the new corroles containing peripheral complexes improve their interactions with biomacromolecules, generate reactive oxygen species under light source irradiation studied and has potential for application in photodynamic therapeutic processes.

Abstract
This manuscript presents the first report on antimicrobial photo-inactivation in vitro using tetra-cationic porphyrins with peripheral platinum(II) bipyridyl complexes against Gram-positive bacteria. Two isomeric tetra-cationic porphyrins (3TPyP and 4TPyP) were tested against clinically important bacterial species. The antimicrobial activity assays were performed at specific photosensitizer (PS) concentrations under dark and white-light LED irradiation conditions for 120 min. The porphyrin 3-PtTPyP was the most efficient PS against the bacteria tested, inhibiting bacterial growth in just 15 min and 30 min at low concentrations (3.75 and 0.45 µM). The minimal inhibitory concentration of the porphyrin increased in the presence of reactive oxygen species scavengers, indicating that singlet oxygen and radical species likely participated in the photo-oxidation mechanism. In addition, the checkerboard assay that tests the association of compounds, showed a synergistic effect, suggesting a potentiation of the antibacterial effect when porphyrin was tested in combination with ciprofloxacin and vancomycin. Thus, tetra-cationic porphyrins containing platinum(II) complexes are promising agents for microbial photo-inactivation as an alternative therapy against infections.

Abstract
The trans-A2B-corrole series was prepared starting with 5-(pentafluorophenyl)dipyrromethene, which was then reacted with respective aryl-substituted aldehyde by Gryko synthesis. It was further characterized by HRMS and electrochemical methods. In addition, we investigated experimental photophysical properties (absorption, emission by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence) in several solvents and TDDFT calculations, aggregation, photostability and reactive oxygen species generation (ROS), which are relevant when selecting photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy and many other photo-applications. In addition, we also evaluated the biomolecule-binding properties with CT-DNA and HSA by spectroscopy, viscometry and molecular docking calculations assays.

Cancer and parasitic diseases, such as leishmaniasis and Chagas disease, share similarities that allow the co-development of new antiproliferative agents as a strategy to quickly track the discovery of new drugs. This strategy is especially interesting regarding tropical neglected diseases, for which chemotherapeutic alternatives are extremely outdated. We designed a series of (E)-3-aryl-5-(2-aryl-vinyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles based on the reported antiparasitic and anticancer activities of structurally related compounds. The synthesis of such compounds led to the development of a new, fast, and efficient strategy for the construction of a 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring on a silica-supported system under microwave irradiation. One hit compound (23) was identified during the in vitro evaluation against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cell lines (EC50 values ranging from 5.5 to 13.2 µM), Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes (EC50 = 2.9 µM) and Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes (EC50 = 12.2 µM) and amastigotes (EC50 = 13.5 µM). In silico studies indicate a correlation between the in vitro activity and the interaction with tubulin at the colchicine binding site. Furthermore, ADMET in silico predictions indicate that the compounds possess a high druggability potential due to their physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicity profiles, and for hit 23, it was identified by multiple spectroscopic approaches that this compound binds with human serum albumin (HSA) via a spontaneous ground-state association with a moderate affinity driven by entropically and enthalpically energies into subdomain IIA (site I) without significantly perturbing the secondary content of the protein.

Abstract
The interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and the non-charged synthetic photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetra(pyridine-4-yl)porphyrin (4-TPyP) was evaluated by in vitro assays under physiological conditions using spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis, circular dichroism, steady-state, time-resolved, synchronous, and 3D-fluorescence) combined with in silico calculations by molecular docking. The UV-vis and steady-state fluorescence parameters indicated a ground-state association between HSA and 4-TPyP and the absence of any dynamic fluorescence quenching was confirmed by the same average fluorescence lifetime for HSA without (4.76 ± 0.11 ns) and with 4-TPyP (4.79 ± 0.14 ns). Therefore, the Stern-Volmer quenching (KSV) constant reflects the binding affinity, indicating a moderate interaction (104 M-1) being spontaneous (ΔG°= -25.0 kJ/mol at 296 K), enthalpically (ΔH° = -9.31 ± 1.34 kJ/mol), and entropically (ΔS° = 52.9 ± 4.4 J/molK) driven. Binding causes only a very weak perturbation on the secondary structure of albumin. There is just one main binding site in HSA for 4-TPyP (n ≈ 1.0), probably into the subdomain IIA (site I), where the Trp-214 residue can be found. The microenvironment around this fluorophore seems not to be perturbed even with 4-TPyP interacting via hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces with the amino acid residues in the subdomain IIA.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of two novel tetra-cationic porphyrins, containing Pt(II) or Pd(II) polypyridyl complexes attached at the peripheral position of N4-macrocycle. Compounds were characterized through elemental analysis, molar conductivity, cyclic voltammetry, and spectroscopy analysis. Photophysical and photobiological parameters were also evaluated. Also, the binding capacity of each porphyrin with human serum albumin (HSA) was determined by UV-Vis, steady-state, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, combined with molecular docking calculations. The results suggest that the interaction of these compounds is spontaneous, weak to moderate, and probably occurs at site III (subdomain IB) by non-covalent forces, including van der Waals and H-bonding. Moreover, porphyrins containing peripheral complexes improve their interactions with biomolecules, show good photostability, generate reactive oxygen species under white light studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, and promote photo-damage of HSA.

Abstract
This manuscript reports enhanced antimicrobial photoinactivation using tetra-cationic porphyrins with peripheral platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes against fungal dermatophyte strains. Six different positively charged porphyrins were used and applied in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy experiments (aPDT) against dermatophyte fungi colonies. The microbiological tests were conducted with an adequate concentration of photosensitizer (PS) under white-light irradiation for 120 min and the most effective PS meta isomer 3PtP significantly reduced the concentration of viable fungal colony. In this way, tetra-cationic porphyrins containing platinum(II)-bipyridyl complexes may be promising fungicidal aPDT agents with potential applications in future clinical cases.

Abstract
In this study, the cationic complex [PtMe(Me2SO)(dppf)]CF3SO3 (PtFc) (dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) was exploited as a precursor to functionalize the multi-chromophoric system hexakis(pyridyl-porphyrinato)benzene (1). The final adduct [PtFc]18-1, containing eighteen platinum(II) organometallic [PtMe(dppf)] fragments, was prepared and characterized through UV/Vis absorption, 31P{1H}-NMR spectroscopy, and fluorescence emission. UV/vis and fluorescence titrations confirmed the coordination between the platinum(II) center and all the pyridyl moieties of the peripheral substituent groups of the porphyrin. The drop casting of diluted dichloromethane solution of [PtFc]18-1 onto a glass surface afford micrometer-sized emissive porphyrin rings.

Abstract
This article deals with the synthesis of Schiff-based bis-azomethine-based ligands derived from pyridoxal and aliphatic dihydrazides and the synthesis of nickel(II) complexes C1-C4. The synthesized complexes had their structures elucidated by monocrystal X-ray diffraction and were characterized by vibrational and absorption spectroscopy. The synthesized ligands have characteristics that allow the formation of self-assembly processes, thus, the flexibility or rigidity of the coordination of organic molecules added to the orbitals of the NiII cation leads to the formation of helical complexes with double helix and a dinucler nickel(II) complex. Moreover, compounds was their interactions with CT-DNA and HSA absorption and emission analysis and molecular docking calculations.

Abstract
Two fluorinated meso-C6F5-corroles (5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-10-(phenyl)corrole and 5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-10-(1-pyrenyl)corrole) were biologically evaluated in terms of binding affinity to human serum albumin (HSA) and calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) via multiple spectroscopic techniques under physiological conditions combined with molecular docking calculations. The HSA:corrole interaction is spontaneous and moderate via static binding, disturbing both secondary and tertiary albumin structures at high fluorinated corrole concentrations. The competitive binding studies indicated positive cooperativity or allosteric activation, while molecular docking calculations suggested that both fluorinated corroles bind preferentially inside subdomains IIA and IB (sites I and III, respectively). The experimental CT-DNA binding assays indicated that fluorinated corroles interact spontaneously by non-classical modes in the minor groove of the CT-DNA strands via static fluorescence quenching mechanism. Molecular docking results also showed the minor groove as the main binding site for CT-DNA. Overall, the pyrene moiety increased the interaction with HSA and CT-DNA, which is probably due to the planarity and volume that favors the pyrene unit to be buried inside the biomacromolecule pockets.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we report, for the first time, the photoinactivation evaluation of tetra-cationic porphyrins with peripheral Pt (II)-bpy complexes in the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of rapidly growing mycobacterial strains (RGM). Two different isomeric Pt (II)-porphyrins were synthetized and applied. PDI experiments in the strains of Mycobacteroides abscessus subsp. Abscessus (ATCC 19977), Mycolicibacterium fortuitum (ATCC 6841), Mycobacteroides abscessus subsp. Massiliense (ATCC 48898), and Mycolicibacterium smegmatis (ATCC 700084) conducted with adequate concentration (without aggregation) of photosensitizers (PS) under white-light illumination for 90 min showed that the most effective PS significantly reduced the concentration of viable mycobacteria. The present results show that positively charged porphyrins at the meta position (3-PtTPyP) are more efficient PS against M. abscessus, M. fortuitum, M. massiliense, and M. smegmatis. The effectiveness of the molecule as PS for PDI studies is also clear with mycobacteria, which is strongly related with the porphyrin peripheral charge and coordination platinum (II) compounds and consequently their solubility in physiological media. Tetra-cationic PS may be promising anti-mycobacterial PDI agents with potential applications in medical clinical cases and bioremediation.
