Abstract
Population and food requirements are increasing daily throughout the world. To fulfil these requirements application of pesticides is also increasing. Organophosphorous (OP) and Organocarbamate (OC) compounds are widely used pesticides. These pesticides are used for suicidal purposes too. Both inhibit Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholinergic symptoms are mainly used for the diagnosis of pesticide poisoning. Although the symptoms of the intoxication of OP and OC are similar, recent research has described different targets for OP and OC pesticides. Researchers believe the distinction of OP/OC poisoning will be beneficial for the management of pesticide exposure. OP compounds produce adducts with several proteins. There is a new generation of OP compounds like glyphosate that do not inhibit AChE. Therefore, it's high time to develop biomarkers that can distinguish OP poisoning from OC poisoning.

Development of a High-Accuracy, Low-Cost, and Portable Fluorometer with Smartphone Application for the Detection of Urinary Albumin towards the Early Screening of Chronic Kidney and Renal Diseases. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:876. [PMID: 37754110 PMCID: PMC10526137 DOI: 10.3390/bios13090876] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
This study presents the development of a portable fluorometer with a smartphone application designed to facilitate the early screening of chronic kidney and renal diseases by enabling the sensitive detection of urinary albumin. Utilizing a fluorescence-based aptasensor, the device achieved a linear calibration curve (0.001-1.5 mg/mL) with a linearity of up to 0.98022 and a detection limit of 0.203 µg/mL for human serum albumin (HSA). The analysis of 130 urine samples demonstrated comparable performance between this study's fluorometer, a commercial fluorometer, and the standard automated method. These findings validate the feasibility of the portable fluorometer and aptasensor combination as a reliable instrument for the sensitive and specific measurement of HSA in urine samples. Moreover, the fluorometer's portability offers potential applications in portable point-of-care testing, enhancing its utility in clinical settings for early disease screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The oral bioavailability of withangulatin A (WA) is low and may undergo first-pass metabolism because of the presence of two esters bonds. This study aimed to identify the hydrolysis behavior and mechanism of WA, thus enriching its structure-pharmacokinetic relationship. METHODS The in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of WA in rats were first investigated, followed by in vitro assays including metabolic stability, phenotyping identification and metabolic kinetics assays. After screening out the responsible enzymes with higher catalytic capacity, molecular docking study was performed to demonstrate the interaction mode between WA and metabolic enzymes. Then, metabolites in human serum albumin (HSA) were identified by LC-TOF-MS/MS. RESULTS In rats, the oral bioavailability of WA was only 2.83%. In vitro, WA was hydrolyzed in both rat and human plasma and could not be inhibited by selective esterase inhibitors. Physiologic concentration of HSA not recombinant human carboxylesterases (rhCES) could significantly hydrolyze WA, and it had a similar hydrolytic capacity with human plasma to WA. Furthermore, WA could stably bind to HSA by forming hydrogen bonds with Lys199 and Arg410, accompanied by the metabolic reaction of the lactone ring opening. CONCLUSION The study showed that WA underwent obvious hydrolysis in rat and human plasma, which implied a strong first-pass effect. Serum albumin rather than common esterases primarily contributed to the hydrolytic metabolism of WA in plasma.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease involving continued elevated blood glucose levels. It is a leading cause of mortality and reduced life expectancy. Glycated human serum albumin (GHSA) has been reported to be a potential diabetes biomarker. A nanomaterial-based aptasensor is one of the effective techniques to detect GHSA. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been widely used in aptasensors as an aptamer fluorescence quencher due to their high biocompatibility and sensitivity. GHSA-selective fluorescent aptamers are first quenched upon binding to GQDs. The presence of albumin targets results in the release of aptamers to albumin and consequently fluorescence recovery. To date, the molecular details on how GQDs interact with GHSA-selective aptamers and albumin remain limited, especially the interactions of an aptamer-bound GQD (GQDA) with an albumin. Thus, in this work, molecular dynamics simulations were used to reveal the binding mechanism of human serum albumin (HSA) and GHSA to GQDA. The results show the rapid and spontaneous assembly of albumin and GQDA. Multiple sites of albumins can accommodate both aptamers and GQDs. This suggests that the saturation of aptamers on GQDs is required for accurate albumin detection. Guanine and thymine are keys for albumin-aptamer clustering. GHSA gets denatured more than HSA. The presence of bound GQDA on GHSA widens the entrance of drug site I, resulting in the release of open-chain glucose. The insight obtained here will serve as a base for accurate GQD-based aptasensor design and development.

Abstract
Detection of microalbuminuria is an analytical challenge. There are dye-based methods and immunochemical methods. However, these methods are less specific and sensitive respectively. So, people are trying new approaches for microalbuminuria detection. In this context, we have developed a fluorescent spectroscopic method to detect human serum albumin using its pseudoesterase property. Recently, we had discovered that neostigmine does not inhibit Human serum albumin pseudoesterase activity. Using such a phenomenon, we have devised a specific fluorimetric detection method of HSA using 2NA as a substrate for the pseudoesterase activity. The developed method can sense as low as 0.1 μM of HSA in the urine matrix without dye or antibody. We have proposed a scheme of automation of the proposed method.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in plasma, contributing actively to oncotic pressure maintenance and fluid distribution between body compartments. HSA acts as the main carrier of fatty acids, recognizes metal ions, affects pharmacokinetics of many drugs, provides the metabolic modification of some ligands, renders potential toxins harmless, accounts for most of the anti-oxidant capacity of human plasma, and displays esterase, enolase, glucuronidase, and peroxidase (pseudo)-enzymatic activities. HSA-based catalysis is physiologically relevant, affecting the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds including proteins, lipids, cholesterol, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and drugs. Catalytic properties of HSA are modulated by allosteric effectors, competitive inhibitors, chemical modifications, pathological conditions, and aging. HSA displays anti-oxidant properties and is critical for plasma detoxification from toxic agents and for pro-drugs activation. The enzymatic properties of HSA can be also exploited by chemical industries as a scaffold to produce libraries of catalysts with improved proficiency and stereoselectivity for water decontamination from poisonous agents and environmental contaminants, in the so called “green chemistry” field. Here, an overview of the intrinsic and metal dependent (pseudo-)enzymatic properties of HSA is reported to highlight the roles played by this multifaced protein.
