Abstract
With the developing resistance to traditional antiparasitic medications, the purpose of this study was to efficiently develop a series of six noble flavanoidal tetrazinane-6'-one derivatives by a one-pot reaction pathway. FT-IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and Mass spectra were employed for the structural elucidation of the synthesized compounds (7-12). Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite infection model that has been well-established, demonstrated that all the synthesized compounds are potent antiparasitic agents. DNA is the main target for various medicinal compounds. As a result, thestudy of how small molecules attach to DNA has received a lot of attention. In the present study, we have performed various biophysical techniques to determine the mode of binding of synthesized compounds (7-12) with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA). It was observed from the UV-visible absorbance and fluorescence spectra that all synthesized compounds (7-12) form complexes with the ct-DNA. The value of binding constant (Kb) was obtained to be in the range of 4.36---24.50 × 103 M - 1 at 298 K. Competitive displacement assay with ethidium bromide (EB), CD spectral analysis, viscosity measurements, and in silico molecular docking confirmed that ligands (7-12) incorporate with ct-DNA through groove binding only. Molecular docking studies were performed for all synthesized compounds with the calf thymus DNA and it was found that all the newly synthesized compounds strongly bind with the chain B of DNA in the minor groove with the value of binding energy in the range of -8.54 to -9.04 kcal per mole and several hydrogen bonding interactions.

Abstract
The in vitro anti-proliferative activity of MA (5,7-dihydroxy-8-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-6-(3-methyl-1-oxobutyl)-4-phenyl[1]2H-[1]benzopyran-2-one)on a variety of cancer cells was previously demonstrated. This work strives to understand the mechanisms by which MA exerts this biological activity. Thereafter, the binding of MA to calf thymus DNA was studied by monitoring the change in the UV-visible absorbance of MA. It was found that, the response of MA to binding with calf thymus DNA is characterised by an increase in the AS/AL ratio of the absorbance of the longest wavelength absorption band to the shortest one, and the appearance of a new band at about 377 nm assigned to S0→S1 transition, which is red shifted as compared to free MA. From the bands ratio, the binding constant is found to be 4.3x105 M-1, indicating strong binding. The deduced binding free energy, enthalpy and entropy are -7.7 kcal/mol, -10.89 ± 0.28 kcal/mol and -54.46 ± 4 J/K, respectively, indicating that MA binds to DNA by a non-bonding Van der Waals type interactions and hydrogen bonds. Further study with classical molecular dynamics shows that MA binds to DNA by intercalation, where it is positioned between two AT base pairs. Unlike isolated MA, TDDFT calculations on ten images extracted from the MD trajectory show that, the frontier molecular orbitals of the complex are distributed over the DNA and MA. This indicates a strong stacking interaction and then explains the hypochromism and the red shift of the S0→S1 transition. The present work demonstrates the potency of MA as antitumor compound and as absorbance-based molecular probe.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The negative environmental and social impacts of food waste accumulation can be mitigated by utilizing bio-refineries' approach where food waste is revalorized into high-value products, such as prodigiosin (PG), using microbial bioprocesses. The diverse biological activities of PG position it as a promising compound, but its high production cost and promiscuous bioactivity hinder its wide application. Metal ions can modulate the electronic properties of organic molecules, leading to novel mechanisms of action and increased target potency, while metal complex formation can improve the stability, solubility and bioavailability of the parent compound. The objectives of this study were optimizing PG production through bacterial fermentation using food waste, allowing good quantities of the pure natural product for further synthesizing and evaluating copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with it. Their antimicrobial and anticancer activities were assessed, and their binding affinity toward biologically important molecules, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and DNA was investigated by fluorescence emission spectroscopy and molecular docking. The yield of 83.1 mg/L of pure PG was obtained when processed meat waste at 18 g/L was utilized as the sole fermentation substrate. The obtained complexes CuPG and ZnPG showed high binding affinity towards target site III of BSA, and molecular docking simulations highlighted the affinity of the compounds for DNA minor grooves.

Abstract
Four neutral Rh1-Rh4 complexes of the general formula [Rh2(CH3COO)4L2], where L is an N-alkylimidazole ligand, were synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, and in the case of Rh4 the crystal structure was confirmed. Investigation of the interactions of these complexes with HSA by fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that the binding constants Kb are moderately strong (∼104 M-1), and site-marker competition experiments showed that the complexes bind to Heme site III (subdomain IB). Competitive binding studies for CT DNA using EB and HOE showed that the complexes bind to the minor groove, which was also confirmed by viscosity experiments. Molecular docking confirmed the experimental data for HSA and CT DNA. Antimicrobial tests showed that the Rh2-Rh4 complexes exerted a strong inhibitory effect on G+ bacteria B. cereus and G- bacteria V. parahaemolyticus as well as on the yeast C. tropicalis, which showed a higher sensitivity compared to fluconazole. The cytotoxic activity of Rh1-Rh4 complexes tested on three cancer cell lines (HeLa, HCT116 and MDA-MB-231) and on healthy MRC-5 cells showed that all investigated complexes elicited more efficient cytotoxicity on all tested tumor cells than on control cells. Investigation of the mechanism of action revealed that the Rh1-Rh4 complexes inhibit cell proliferation via different mechanisms of action, namely apoptosis (increase in expression of the pro-apoptotic Bax protein and caspase-3 protein in HeLa and HCT116 cells; changes in mitochondrial potential and mitochondrial damage; release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria; cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase in both HeLa and HCT116 cells together with a decrease in the expression of cyclin A and cyclin B) and autophagy (reduction in the expression of the protein p62 in HeLa and HCT116 cells).

Abstract
DNA, vital for biological processes, encodes hereditary data for protein synthesis, shaping cell structure and function. Since revealing its structure, DNA has become a target for various therapeutically vital molecules, spanning antidiabetic to anticancer drugs. These agents engage with DNA-associated proteins, DNA-RNA hybrids, or bind directly to the DNA helix, triggering diverse downstream effects. These interactions disrupt vital enzymes and proteins essential for maintaining cell structure and function. Analysing drug-DNA interactions has significantly advanced our understanding of drug mechanisms. Glipizide, an antidiabetic drug, is known to cause DNA damage in adipocytes. However, its extract mechanism of DNA interaction is unknown. This study delves into the interaction between glipizide and DNA utilizing various biophysical tools and computational technique to gain insights into the interaction mechanism. Analysis of UV-visible and fluorescence data reveals the formation of complex between DNA and glipizide. The binding affinity of glipizide to DNA was of moderate strength. Examination of thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures suggests that the binding was entropically spontaneous and energetically favourable. Various experiments such as thermal melting assays, viscosity measurement, and dye displacement assays confirmed the minor grove nature of binding of glipizide with DNA. Molecular dynamics studies confirmed the glipizide forms stable complex with DNA when simulated by mimicking the physiological conditions. The binding was mainly favoured by hydrogen bonds and glipizide slightly reduced nucleotide fluctuations of DNA. The study deciphers the mechanism of interaction of glipizide with DNA at molecular levels.

Abstract
Dimethyl 6-(pyrazine-2-yl)pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylate (py-2pz) was used as a ligand for the synthesis of new copper(ii) and silver(i) complexes, [CuCl2(py-2pz)]2 (1), [Cu(CF3SO3)(H2O)(py-2pz)2]CF3SO3·2H2O (2), [Ag(py-2pz)2]PF6 (3) and {[Ag(NO3)(py-2pz)]·0.5H2O} n (4). The complexes were characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods, while their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The X-ray analysis revealed the bidentate coordination mode of py-2pz to the corresponding metal ion via its pyridine and pyrazine nitrogen atoms in all complexes, while in polynuclear complex 4, the heterocyclic pyrazine ring of one py-2pz additionally behaves as a bridging ligand between two Ag(i) ions. DFT calculations were performed to elucidate the structures of the investigated complexes in solution. The antimicrobial potential of the complexes 1-4 was evaluated against two bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Candida (C. albicans and C. parapsilosis) species. Silver(i) complexes 3 and 4 have shown good antibacterial and antifungal properties with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 4.9 to 39.0 μM (3.9-31.2 μg mL-1). All complexes inhibited the filamentation of C. albicans and hyphae formation, while silver(i) complexes 3 and 4 had also the ability to inhibit the biofilm formation process of this fungus. The binding affinity of the complexes 1-4 with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by fluorescence emission spectroscopy to clarify the mode of their antimicrobial activity. Catechol oxidase biomimetic catalytic activity of copper(ii) complexes 1 and 2 was additionally investigated by using 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) and o-aminophenol (OAP) as substrates.

Abstract
We report the controlled growth of biologically active compounds: gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in various shapes, including their green synthesis, characterization, and studies of their applications towards biological, degradation and recycling. Using spectroscopic methods, studies on responsive binding mechanisms of AuNPs with biopolymers herring sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (hsDNA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), dyes degradation study, and exquisitely gold separation studies/recovery from nanowaste, COVID-19 testing kits, and pregnancy testing kits are discussed. The sensing ability of the AuNPs with biopolymers was investigated via various analytical techniques. The rate of degradation of various dyes in the presence and absence of AuNPs was studied by deploying stirring, IR, solar, and UV-Vis methods. AuNPs were found to be the most active cytotoxic agent against human breast cancer cell lines such as MCF-7 and MDAMB-468. Furthermore, an economical process for the recovery of gold traces from nanowaste, COVID-19 detection kits, and pregnancy testing kits was developed using inexpensive and eco-friendly α-cyclodextrin sugar. This method was found to be easy and safest in comparison with the universally accepted cyanidation process. In the future, small gold jewelry makers and related industries would benefit from the proposed gold-recycling process and it might contribute to their socio-economic growth. The methodologies proposed are also beneficial for trace-level forensic investigation.

Abstract
Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) is the most toxic and abundant microcystin produced by cyanobacteria. Previous studies have demonstrated that MC-LR can lead to DNA damage by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species content to induce oxidative stress. However, the direct effect of MC-LR on DNA has not been fully described. In this study, the direct effect of MC-LR on DNA was explored by using spectral analysis and molecular biology technology. First, the fluorescent probe Bptp-R2 was developed to monitor different types of DNA and explore the direct interaction between DNA and MC-LR. The significant differences in the fluorescence of probe-plasmid DNA and probe-ds DNA at various MC-LR concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 μmol/L) and MC-LR exposure times (0, 6, 12, and 24 h) showed that the direct interaction between DNA and MC-LR was significant (P ≤ 0.01). Gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the direct interaction between DNA and MC-LR cannot cause DNA strand breaks or change DNA configuration. Then, PCR experiments revealed that the direct interaction between DNA and MC-LR cannot affect DNA replication in a PCR system (P ≤ 0.01). This study discovered that the effects of MC-LR on DNA originate mainly from the secondary effects of MC-LR rather than from the direct interaction between DNA and MC-LR.

Abstract
The interaction of four arene ruthenium complexes [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(Me2dppz)Cl]PF6 (1) with Me2dppz = 11,12-dimethyldipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine, [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(aip)Cl]PF6 (2) with aip = 2-(9-anthryl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline), ([(ƞ6-toluene)Ru(ppf)Cl]PF6) (3) and ([(ƞ6-p-cymene)Ru(ppf)Cl]PF6) (4) with ppf = pyrido[2',3':5,6] pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline with calf thymus DNA were investigated. All of four complexes exhibit DNA-binding activity. UV-Vis spectroscopic studies revealed the intrinsic binding constants of the order 104 M-1 of magnitude, indicating non-intercalative mode. Fluorescence quenching analysis showed that all complexes interfere with intercalator ethidium bromide and minor groove binder Hoechst 33258 by a singular non-intercalative mode with extent that differs by two orders of magnitude. Gel electrophoresis results on DNA cleavage assay demonstrated that all complexes produced conformational changes of supercoiled circular plasmid pUC19 in concentration dependent way. The results of fluorescence titration bovine serum albumin by 1, 2, 3 and 4 showed that all complexes significantly quench tryptophan residues fluorescence through a static quenching mechanism. The antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria analyzed. Complex 1 was most active, even on Escherichia coli was more active than positive control compound.

Abstract
Two zinc(II) complexes with dimethyl 2,2′-bipyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate (py-2py) of the general formula [Zn(py-2py)X2], X = Cl− (1) and Br− (2) were synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural and adopt a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry with values of tetrahedral indices τ4 and τ’4 in the range of 0.80–0.85. The complexes were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against two bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis), while their cytotoxicity was tested on the normal human lung fibroblast cell line (MRC-5) and the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Complex 1 showed moderate activity against both Candida strains. However, this complex was twofold more cytotoxic compared to complex 2. The complexes tested had no effect on the survival rate of C. elegans. Complex 2 showed the ability to inhibit filamentation of C. albicans, while complex 1 was more effective than complex 2 in inhibiting biofilm formation. The interactions of complexes 1 and 2 with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied to evaluate their binding affinity toward these biomolecules.

Deciphering the mechanism and binding interactions of Pemetrexed with dsDNA with DNA-targeted chemotherapeutics via spectroscopic, analytical, and simulation studies. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2021; 209:114490. [PMID: 34875572 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.114490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Revised: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Pemetrexed is a well-known and widely used antineoplastic drug under the category of cytotoxic, folate anti-metabolites that is used in chemotherapeutic treatments, especially in malignant mesothelioma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. Here, the binding mechanism and interactions of Pemetrexed with double strain fish sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) were studied thoroughly both experimentally and theoretically, using multi-spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking simulations. Our ultimate goal is to understand better the potential of such antineoplastic drugs and, hence, to design drugs with high dsDNA binding affinities and fewer adverse effects. We employed several techniques yielding different but complementary results such as UV, fluorescence, thermal denaturation, electrochemical and viscosity, and molecular docking studies under physiological conditions. Our results revealed that the Pemetrexed binds fairly strongly to dsDNA's minor groove through hydrogen bond interactions with the mostly adenine and guanine bases via its p-carbamide and p-carboxylic groups. MD simulations of the drug-dsDNA complex were followed for 50 ns to confirm that interaction is stable and robust electrostatic interactions were due to hydrogen bonding mostly with the adenine and guanine nucleotides in the minor groove.

Abstract
New dinuclear silver(i) complexes with N,N',N'',N'''-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc), [Ag2(NO3)(tpmc)]NO3·1.7H2O (1), [Ag2(CF3SO3)2(tpmc)] (2), and [Ag2(tpmc)](BF4)2 (3) were synthesized and characterized by NMR (1H and 13C), IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and molar conductivity measurements. The molecular structures of the complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The spectroscopic and crystallographic data showed that the structure of the complexes strongly depends on the nature of the counteranion of silver(i) salt used for their synthesis. The antimicrobial activity of complexes 1-3 was examined against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and different species of unicellular fungus Candida spp. The ability of these complexes to inhibit the formation of Candida biofilms and to eradicate the already formed biofilms was tested in the standard microtiter plate-based assay. In addition, a bioelectrochemical testing of the antimicrobial activity of complex 1 against early biofilm was also performed. The obtained results indicated that complexes 1-3 showed increased activity toward Gram-negative bacteria and Candida spp. and could inhibit the formation of biofilms. In most cases, these complexes had positive selectivity indices and showed similar or even better activity with respect to the clinically used silver(i) sulfadiazine (AgSD). The values of the binding constants for complexes 1-3 to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were found to be high enough to indicate their binding to this biomolecule, but not so high as to prevent their release upon arrival at the target site. Moreover, the positive values of partition coefficients for these complexes indicated their ability to be transported through the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, complexes 1-3 could induce the formation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in C. albicans cells and/or interact with DNA. Taken together, silver(i) complexes with the tpmc ligand could be considered as novel antimicrobial compounds with favourable pharmacological properties, being safer than AgSD.

Abstract
Three new silver(I) complexes [Ag(NO3)(tia)(H2O)]n (Ag1), [Ag(CF3SO3)(1,8-naph)]n (Ag2) and [Ag2(1,8-naph)2(H2O)1.2](PF6)2 (Ag3), where tia is thianthrene and 1,8-naph is 1,8-naphthyridine, were synthesized and structurally characterized by different spectroscopic and electrochemical methods and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Their antimicrobial potential was evaluated against four bacterial and three Candida species, and the obtained results revealed that these complexes showed significant activity toward the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the investigated Candida species with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range 1.56-7.81 μg/mL. On the other hand, tia and 1,8-naph ligands were not active against the investigated strains, suggesting that their complexation with Ag(I) ion results in the formation of antimicrobial compounds. Moreover, low toxicity of the complexes was detected by in vivo model Caenorhabditis elegans. The interaction of the complexes with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied to evaluate their binding affinity towards these biomolecules for possible insights into the mode of antimicrobial activity. The binding affinity of Ag1-3 to BSA was higher than that for DNA, indicating that proteins could be more favorable binding sites for these complexes in comparison to the nucleic acids.

Abstract
Five novel copper(ii) complexes with pyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate esters as ligands, [Cu(NO3)(py-2tz)(H2O)3]NO3 (1), [Cu(NO3)2(py-2metz)(H2O)] (2), [Cu(NO3)2(py-2py)(H2O)]·H2O (3), [CuCl2(py-2tz)]2 (4) and [CuCl2(py-2metz)]n (5) (py-2tz is dimethyl 2-(thiazol-2-yl)pyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate, py-2metz is dimethyl 2-(4-methylthiazol-2-yl)pyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate and py-2py is dimethyl 2,2'-bipyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate), were synthesized and structurally characterized by different spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. The structure of these complexes was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, confirming the bidentate coordination mode of the corresponding pyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate ester to the Cu(ii) ion through the nitrogen atoms. The antimicrobial potential of copper(ii) complexes 1-5 was assessed against two bacterial and two Candida species. These complexes showed better growth inhibiting activity against Candida spp. with respect to the tested bacterial species, also being moderately toxic towards normal human lung fibroblast cells (MRC-5). Complexes 1 and 4 showed the greatest ability to inhibit the filamentation of C. albicans, which is an important process during fungal infection, and these two complexes efficiently inhibited the biofilm formation of C. albicans at subinhibitory concentrations. Complex 4 also successfully prevented the adhesion of C. albicans in an in vitro epithelial cell model. The mechanism of the antifungal activity of copper(ii) complexes 1-5 was studied through their interaction with ct-DNA, as one of the possible target biomolecules, by fluorescence spectroscopy and gel electrophoresis. Finally, the ability of these complexes to bind to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by fluorescence emission spectroscopy.

Abstract
At present, research progress of anthracene's toxicity lags far behind the pollution caused on its application fields such as petroleum and minerals. In this paper, anthracene-induced oxidative stress effects and genetic toxicity were investigated at both the molecular and cellular levels. The intracellular oxidative stress effect of anthracene on earthworm primary coelomocyte was confirmed by the detection of reactive oxygen species, antioxidant enzymes activity, and malondialdehyde content. Moreover, after anthracene exposure, the decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential and cell viability also indicated the adverse effects of anthracene on earthworm coelomocyte. The comet assay proved the break in DNA strand, revealing the anthracene-induced DNA damage. On the molecular level, we revealed that anthracene caused the shrinkage of the catalase skeleton and altered the microenvironment of chromophores of catalase by multi-spectral methods. Molecular simulation results indicated that anthracene interacted with His74 by "arene-arene" force and the dominant binding site between anthracene and catalase was close to the active site of catalase. In addition, anthracene was shown to bind to the DNA molecule by groove binding mode. This study proposed a new combined analysis method for the toxicity evaluation of anthracene at the cellular and molecular levels. Graphical abstract This study creatively proposed a new combined analysis for the toxicity evaluation of ANT at the cellular and molecular levels.

Abstract
Donepezil (DNP) is one of approved drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the potential effect of DNP on DNA is still unclear. Therefore, the interaction of DNP with calf thymus DNA (DNA) was studied in vitro using spectroscopic and molecular docking methods. Steady-state and transient fluorescence experiments showed that there was a clear binding interaction between DNP and DNA, resulting from DNP fluorescence being quenched using DNA. DNP and DNA have one binding site between them, and the binding constant (Kb ) was 0.78 × 104 L·mol-1 at 298 K. In this binding process, hydrophobic force was the main interaction force, because enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) of DNP-DNA were 67.92 kJ·mol-1 and 302.96 J·mol-1 ·K-1 , respectively. DNP bound to DNA in a groove-binding mode, which was verified using a competition displacement study and other typical spectroscopic methods. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum results showed that DNP interacted with guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases of DNA. The molecular docking results further supported the results of spectroscopic experiments, and suggested that both Pi-Sigma force and Pi-Alkyl force were the major hydrophobic force functioning between DNP and DNA.

Abstract
1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpa) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (bpe) were used for the synthesis of polynuclear silver(I) complexes, {[Ag(bpa)]NO3}n (1), {[Ag(bpa)2]CF3SO3 .H2O}n (2) and {[Ag(bpe)]CF3SO3}n (3). In complexes 1-3, the corresponding nitrogen-containing heterocycle acts as a bridging ligand between two Ag(I) ions. In vitro antimicrobial activity of these complexes, along with the ligands used for their synthesis, was evaluated against the broad panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The silver(I) complexes 1-3 showed selectivity towards Candida spp. and Gram-negative Escherichia coli in comparison to the other investigated bacterial strains, effectively inhibiting the growth of four different Candida species with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) between 2.5 and 25 μg/mL and the growth of E. coli, with MIC value being 12.5 μg/mL. Importantly, complex 2 significantly reduced C. albicans filamentation, an essential process for its pathogenesis. Antiproliferative effect on the normal human lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5 was also evaluated with the aim of determining the therapeutic potential of the complexes 1-3. The interactions of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied to evaluate their binding activities towards these biomolecules for possible insights on their mode of action.

Liu Y, Yang Q, Zhu M, Wang L, Zhou Q, Yang Z, Huang X. Endocytosis in microcystis aeruginosa accelerates the synthesis of microcystins in the presence of lanthanum(III). HARMFUL ALGAE 2020; 93:101791. [PMID: 32307072 DOI: 10.1016/j.hal.2020.101791] [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: 10/25/2019] [Revised: 02/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Microcystis aeruginosa bloom releases microcystins (MCs) into global aquatic environment, which other living organisms can ingest the released MCs. The toxic effects of MCs on organisms are amplified through the food chain, threatening human and animal health. Lanthanum(III) [La(III)], a pollutant in aquatic environments worldwide, has been confirmed to stimulate MC synthesis in M. aeruginosa. However, the involved cellular mechanism remains unclear. Here, using interdisciplinary approaches, it was first observed that La(III) activated the clathrin-mediated endocytosis in M. aeruginosa. This allowed the algal cells to rapidly absorb macro-elements (C, N and P) and micro-elements (K, Ca and Mg) through the clathrin-mediated endocytosis. These in turn stimulated chlorophyll production, photosynthesis, the growth of the algal cells, and the increases in the productions of MC-LW, MC-LR and MC-YR in M. aeruginosa. These results provide valuable insights for understanding the involved cellular mechanism on MC synthesis and managing MC pollution, which is important to protect global food chain and the ecosystem.

Abstract
Structure-based drug designing has become a significant subject of research, and several clinically promising DNA binding compounds were evolved using this technique. The interaction of an octamer DNA sequence d(CCAATTGG)2 with a natural stilbene, resveratrol and its analogues have been studied using molecular docking method. Out of the ten compounds studied, seven compounds were found to bind to the minor groove of AATT segment of the sequence. Pterostilbene, a natural analogue of resveratrol, showed the lowest binding energy. Rhaponticin, a natural analogue of resveratrol and digalloylresveratrol, a synthetic ester of resveratrol bind to the major groove of the AATT segment while dihydroresveratrol binds to the minor groove of GC terminal base pair. ADMET (Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) study showed that all compounds obey Lipinski rule and are accepted as orally active drugs based on different physicochemical descriptors. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the complex with lowest binding energy and trajectory analysis were performed. Principal component analysis has been performed to underline the prominent motions in alone DNA and when it is bound to pterostilbene.

Abstract
Five novel silver(I) complexes with 4,7-phenanthroline (4,7-phen), [Ag(NO3-O)(4,7-phen-μ-N4,N7)]n (1), [Ag(ClO4-О)(4,7-phen-μ-N4,N7)]n (2), [Ag(CF3COO-O)(4,7-phen-μ-N4,N7)]n (3), [Ag2(H2O)0.58(4,7-phen)3](SbF6)2 (4) and {[Ag2(H2O)(4,7-phen-μ-N4,N7)2](BF4)2}n (5) were synthesized, structurally elucidated and biologically evaluated. These complexes showed selectivity towards Candida spp. in comparison to the tested bacteria and effectively inhibited the growth of four different Candida species, particularly of C. albicans strains, with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in the range of 2.0-10.0 μM. In order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of 1-5, in vivo toxicity studies were conducted in the zebrafish model. Based on the favorable therapeutic profiles, complexes 1, 3 and 5 were selected for the evaluation of their antifungal efficacy in vivo using the zebrafish model of lethal disseminated candidiasis. Complexes 1 and 3 efficiently controlled and prevented fungal filamentation even at sub-MIC doses, while drastically increased the survival of the infected embryos. Moreover, at the MIC doses, both complexes totally prevented C. albicans filamentation and rescued almost all infected fish of the fatal infection outcome. On the other side, complex 5, which demonstrated the highest antifungal activity in vitro, affected the neutrophils occurrence of the infected host, failed to inhibit the C. albicans cells filamentation and showed a poor potential to cure candidal infection, highlighting the importance of the in vivo activity evaluation early in the therapeutic design and development process. The mechanism of action of the investigated silver(I) complexes was related to the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) response in C. albicans, with DNA being one of the possible target biomolecules.

Abstract
The interaction of SnMe2Cl2(bu2bpy)complex with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been explored following, using spectroscopic methods, viscosity measurements, Atomic force microscopy, Thermal denaturation and Molecular docking. It was found that Sn(IV) complex could bind with DNA via intercalation mode as evidenced by hyperchromism and bathochromic in UV-Vis spectrum; these spectral characteristics suggest that the Sn(IV) complex interacts with DNA most likely through a mode that involves a stacking interaction between the aromatic chromophore and the base pairs of DNA. In addition, the fluorescence emission spectra of intercalated methylene blue (MB) with increasing concentrations of SnMe2Cl2(bu2bpy) represented a significant increase of MB intensity as to release MB from MB-DNA system. Positive values of ΔH and ΔS imply that the complex is bound to ct-DNA mainly via the hydrophobic attraction. Large complexes contain the DNA chains with an average size of 859 nm were observed by using AFM for Sn(IV) Complex-DNA. The Fourier transform infrared study showed a major interaction of Sn(IV) complex with G-C and A-T base pairs and a minor perturbation of the backbone PO2 group. Addition of the Sn(IV)complex results in a noticeable rise in the Tm of DNA. In addition, the results of viscosity measurements suggest that SnMe2Cl2(bu2bpy) complex may bind with the classical intercalative mode. From spectroscopic and hydrodynamic studies, it has been found that Sn(IV)complex interacts with DNA by intercalation mode. Optimized docked model of DNA-complex mixture confirmed the experimental results.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have attracted great attention because of their superior optical properties and wide utilization in biological and biomedical studies. This paper reports an environmentally benign procedure of greener monodispersible SeNP synthesis using the reducing power of Trigonella foenum-graecum extract, characterization and their protective effect against unfolded (Herring sperm DNA) hsDNA. We investigated the anti-cancer activity of SeNPs against MCF-7, MDA MB 435 and COLO-205 cells. The photocatalytic activity of SeNPs was investigated for the degradation of a Sunset Yellow FCF (SYFCF) dye using ultraviolet-B light. The reduction of the Se ion to SeNPs was monitored by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The size and morphology of the SeNPs were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The SeNPs were stable, and the diameter was homogeneous at around 5-12 nm. Interactions of various concentrations of SeNPs with hsDNA were systematically investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), polarimetry and FTIR spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The results from fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that SeNPs quenched the fluorescence intensity of hsDNA with increasing concentrations. The modified Stern-Volmer quenching rate constant Ksv, binding constant K and binding sites n at different temperatures and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters ΔH°, ΔG° and ΔS° were calculated. Hoechst 33258 and methyl green (MG) site markers, melting experiment (Tm), viscosity measurements and sequence specificity verification by DNA bases clarified that SeNPs bind to hsDNA via a groove site. The rate of photocatalytic degradation of the SYFCF dye in the presence and absence of photocatalysts (SeNPs) was studied using UV-vis, the results showed appreciable degradation of the SYFCF dye. Our results suggested that nano Se can be used as a promising selenium species with potential application in cancer treatment. These nanoparticles were found to be the most active cytotoxic agent prepared in a new green synthesis manner, causing >50% inhibition of MCF-7, MDA MB-435 and COLO-205 cell proliferation at concentrations <10(-7) M. Hence these SeNPs could be recognized as promising materials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The interaction of DNA with Bis [N,N-bis (carboxymethyl) aminomethyl] fluorescein-Ferrous(III) (Fluorescein-DA-Fe(III)) with dual functional (sonodynamic and sonocatalytic) activity was studied by UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. And then, the damage of DNA caused by Fluorescein-DA-Fe(III) under ultrasonic irradiation (US) was researched by agarose gel electrophoresis and cytotoxicity assay. Meanwhile, some influenced factors such as ultrasonic irradiation time and Fluorescein-DA-Fe(III) concentration on the damage degree of DNA molecules were also examined. As a control, for Bis [N,N-bis (carboxymethyl) aminomethyl] fluorescein (Fluorescein-DA), the same experiments were carried out. The results showed that both Fluorescein-DA-Fe(III) and Fluorescein-DA can interact with DNA molecules. Under ultrasonic irradiation, Fluorescein-DA shows sonodynamic activity, which can damage DNA molecules. While, in the presence of Fe(III) ion, the Fluorescein-DA-Fe(III) displays not only sonodynamic activity but also sonocatalytic activity under ultrasonic irradiation, which injures DNA more serious than Fluorescein-DA. The researches confirmed the dual function (sonodynamic activity and sonocatalytic activity) of Fluorescein-DA-Fe(III) and expanded the usage of Fluorescein-DA-Fe(III) as a sonosensitizer in sonodynamic therapy (SDT).

Abstract
Indomethacin belongs to the acetic acid derivative class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with diverse pharmacological and biological activities. Understanding the mechanism of interaction of drugs with possible target and off-target biomolecules can prove useful in the development of a rational drug designing system. In this paper, we have attempted to ascertain the mode of binding of indomethacin with calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) through various biophysical techniques and in silico molecular docking. Analysis of the UV-visible absorbance spectra and fluorescence emission profile of indomethacin upon addition of Ct-DNA indicates the formation of a drug-DNA complex. UV-visible absorbance and steady state fluorescence experiments revealed a binding constant on the order of 103 L mol-1, which is consistent with those of well-known groove binders. Competitive displacement studies with ethidium bromide, acridine orange and Hoechst 33258 further suggested that indomethacin binds to the minor groove of the Ct-DNA. The above observations were further confirmed by KI induced quenching experiments, DNA melting studies, CD spectral analysis and viscosity measurements. The thermodynamic parameters like spontaneous free energy (ΔG < 0) and large favourable enthalpy (ΔH < 0) obtained from isothermal calorimetry indicated the involvement of hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces in the binding process. Molecular docking further corroborated the experimental results.

Abstract
Biomedical application of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) demands the eco-friendly composite for synthesis of SeNPs. The present study reports an aqueous extract of Allium sativum (AqEAS) plug-up the current need. Modern spectroscopic, microscopic and gravimetric techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. Characterization studies revealed the formation of crystalline spherical shaped SeNPs. FTIR spectrum brings out the presence of different functional groups in AqEAS, which influence the SeNPs formation and stabilization. Furthermore the different aspects of the interaction between SeNPs and CT-DNA were scrutinized by various spectroscopic and cyclic voltametric studies. The results reveals the intercalation and groove binding mode of interaction of SeNPs with stacked base pair of CT-DNA. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant (KSV) were found to be 7.02×106M-1 (ethidium bromide), 4.22×106 M-1 (acridine orange) and 7.6×106M-1 (Hoechst) indicating strong binding of SeNPs with CT-DNA. The SeNPs - CT-DNA interactions were directly visualized by atomic force microscopy. The present study unveils the cost effective, innocuous, highly stable SeNPs intricate mechanism of DNA interaction, which will be a milestone in DNA targeted chemotherapy.

Abstract
Studying the mode of interaction between small molecules and DNA has received much attention in recent years, as many drugs have been reported to directly interact with DNA thereby regulating the expression of many genes. Capsaicin is a capsaiciniods family phytocompound having many therapeutic applications including diabetic neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, prevention of DNA strand breaks and chromosomal aberrations. In this study, we have investigated the interaction of capsaicin with calf thymus DNA using a number of biophysical techniques to get an insight and better understanding of the interaction mechanism. Analysis of UV-vis absorbance spectra and fluorescence spectra indicates the formation of complex between capsaicin and Ct-DNA. Thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS measurements were taken at different temperatures indicated that hydrogen bonding and van der Waal's forces played major role in the binding process. Additional experiments such as iodide quenching, CD spectroscopy suggested that capsaicin possibly binds to the minor groove of the Ct-DNA. These observations were further confirmed by DNA melting studies, viscosity measurements. Molecular docking provided detailed computational interaction of capsaicin with Ct-DNA which proved that capsaicin binds to Ct-DNA at minor groove. Computational molecular docking also revealed the exact sites and groups to which capsaicin interacted.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of dyes on DNA before and after enzymatic decolorization by acidic horseradish peroxidase (HRP-A). The comet assay is easy and feasible method widely used to measure DNA damage and repair. The medium-throughput comet assay was employed for assessment of genotoxic effects of 8 dyes in BEAS-2B cells. We have incorporated a digestion with bacterial endonuclease (formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase, FPG) to detect oxidized bases in the case of single and double azo dyes, Orange II (OR2) and Amido Black 10B (AB), respectively. This allowed detection 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, one of most abundant oxidized bases in nuclear DNA. In the case of AB there was no indication of DNA damage, either strand brakes or FPG-sensitive sites before and after decolorization. The OR2 induced DNA damage (in terms of percentage of DNA in comet tails). Also, the frequency of FPG-sensitive sites increased with OR2 concentration. After decolorization no DNA damaging effects was seen at all. The interaction studies of OR2 and AB, before and after decolorization, with calf thymus DNA has been investigated by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results provide support for the idea that in some cases enzymatic decolorization contributes to lower genotoxicity potential.

Abstract
Damage to cellular DNA is believed to determine the cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin. However, high resolution structures formed by oxaliplatin and different linear DNA remain unclear. This study characterized, the key structures of different linear DNA in the platination process by UV absorption spectra and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Bathochromic shift and hyperchromicity in UV spectra after addition of oxaliplatin revealed that it can disrupt base stacking of DNA in the platination process. AFM results of different linear DNA indicated that, the platination process can induce DNA change from an extended conformation to the network structure with many kinks and finally to the compact particles, or toroids with increasing the incubation time. All AFM results confirmed that, platination of different linear DNA by oxaliplatin is a time depended process. The present AFM results provide, structural evidence about the interactions between oxaliplatin and different linear DNA containing multiple targets.

Abstract
We have studied the interaction of a polymeric water soluble anthracenyl derivative () with salmon testes DNA. The results from UV-Vis, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and circular dichroism spectroscopies indicate that the groove binding process regulates the interaction between and DNA. The binding constants, calculated by absorption spectroscopy at 298, 304 and 310 K, were equal to 3.2 × 10(5) M(-1), 4.7 × 10(5) M(-1), and 6.6 × 10(5) M(-1) respectively, proving a relatively high affinity of for salmon testes DNA. Results of Hoechst 33258 displacement assays strongly support the groove binding mode of to DNA. The association stoichiometry of the :DNA adduct was found to be 1 for every 5 base pairs. FT-IR spectra, recorded at different /DNA molar ratios, indicate the involvement of the phosphate groups and adenine and thymine DNA bases in the association process. Thermodynamic results suggest that hydrophobic forces regulate the binding of with DNA without excluding some extent of involvement of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding arising due to surface binding between the hydrophilic polymeric arms of the ligand and the functional groups positioned on the edge of the groove. The resulting composite biomaterial could constitute a valuable candidate for future biological and/or photonic applications.

Abstract
Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), a typical phthalic acid ester, is widespread in the environment and causes extensive concern due to its adverse effects on human health. To understand the genotoxicity of DMP at molecular level, the toxic interaction of DMP with herring sperm (hs) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA; hs-DNA) was investigated in vitro under simulated physiological conditions using multi-spectroscopic techniques and a molecular modeling method. The results of Ultraviolet-Visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectra indicated that DMP interacts with hs-DNA in a groove-binding mode that changes the double helical structure of DNA. The binding constant and the number of binding sites calculated from the fluorescence quenching data were 565.718 L mol(-1) and 0.7872, respectively. A molecular modeling study revealed that DMP tends to bind with DNA in the A-T-rich regions of minor groove and that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces play main roles in the interaction. This research can help to elucidate the mechanism of DMP toxicity in vivo.

Abstract
In this Article, we demonstrate a detailed characterization of binding interaction of berberine chloride (BBCl) with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) in buffer solution as well as in two differently charged reverse micelles (RMs). The photophyscial properties of this alkaloid have been modulated within these microheterogeneous bioassemblies. The mode of binding of this alkaloid with DNA is of debate to date. However, fluorescence spectroscopic measurements, circular dichroism (CD) measurement, and temperature-dependent study unambiguously establish that BBCl partially intercalates into the DNA base pairs. The nonplanarity imposed by partial saturation in their structure causes the nonclassical types of intercalation into DNA. Besides the intercalation, electrostatic interactions also play a significant role in the binding between BBCl and DNA. DNA structure turns into a condensed form after encapsulation into RMs, which is followed by the CD spectra and microscopy study. The probe location and dynamics in the nanopool of the RMs depended on the electrostatic interaction between the charged surfactants and cationic berberine. The structural alteration of CT-DNA from B form to condensed form and the interplay of surface charge between RMs and DNA determine the interaction between the alkaloid and DNA in RMs. Time-resolved study and fluorescence anisotropy measurements successfully provide the binding interaction of BBCl in the nanopool of the RMs in the absence and in the presence of DNA. This study motivates us to judge further the potential applicability of this alkaloid in other biological systems or other biomimicking organized assemblies.

Abstract
Drug-DNA interactions have been extensively studied in the recent past. Various techniques have been employed to decipher these interactions. DNA is a major target for a wide range of drugs that may specifically or non-specifically interact with DNA and affect its functions. Interaction between small molecules and DNA are of two types, covalent interactions and non-covalent interactions. Three major modes of non-covalent interactions are electrostatic interactions, groove binding and intercalative binding. This review primarily focuses on discussing various techniques used to study non-covalent interactions that occur between drugs and DNA. Additionally, we report several techniques that may be employed to analyse the binding mode of a drug with DNA. These techniques provide data that are reliable and simple to interpret.

Abstract
Two novel coordination compounds of half-sandwiched ruthenium(II) containing 2-(5-fluorouracil)-yl-N-(pyridyl)-acetamide were synthesized, and their intercalation binding modes with calf thymus DNA were revealed by hyperchromism of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy; the binding constants were determined according to a Langmuir adsorption equation that was deduced on the base of careful cyclic voltammetry measurements. The two compounds exhibited DNA intercalation binding activities with the binding constants of 1.13×106 M-1 and 5.35 ×105 M-1, respectively.
