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.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 306:123552.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to synthesize, characterize and explore the interaction of PEGylated graphene oxide (pGO) and synthetic human Follicular stimulating hormone β 33-53 peptide conjugated PEGylated graphene oxide nanoparticles (pGO-FSH) with human serum albumin (HSA) and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). The pGO/ pGO-FSH nanoparticles were synthesized using a modified Hummer's method, and the FSH peptide was conjugated through a maleimide crosslinking reaction. Synthesized nanoparticles were then characterized using techniques like FT-IR, UV-Visible absorbance, CD and Raman spectroscopy, and XRD and TGA. Morphological and particle size analysis was studied using SEM, TEM, DLS, and zeta potential measurements. The presence of FSH β 33-53 peptide was confirmed qualitatively and quantitatively using CD spectroscopy and Bradford's assay. Binding studies of pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles with HSA and DNA were carried out using biophysical techniques. The complex formation between pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles and HSA was revealed by UV absorbance spectroscopy, and the observed fluorescence quenching was confirmed by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. Time-resolved fluorescence quenching studies have shown that dynamic quenching plays an important role in binding HSA with pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles. However, structurally no significant changes were observed in the native structure of HSA upon binding with pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles suggesting that the latter did not induce any structural distortions together, confirmed by DSC, FT-IR, and CD spectroscopy experimental findings. Binding constants and thermodynamic parameters calculated using double logarithmic and Van't Hoff plots suggested weak and moderate binding affinity along with the involvement of hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions between HSA and pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles, respectively. UV absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy have revealed that pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles interact with DNA by binding at the minor groove region. These findings were further confirmed by DNA melting and viscosity studies. CD and FT-IR spectroscopy studies have shown no changes in the helical structure of B-form of DNA, thereby emphasizing the groove-binding nature of pGO/pGO-FSH nanoparticles. The obtained results are useful in further considering the potentiality of pGO-FSH nanoparticles as drug-delivery systems for in vivo applications, especially to target ovarian cancer.

Abstract
A simple, facile, moist-heating (e.g., autoclave), one-step procedure for EGCG-mediated biosynthesis of narrow-size magnetic iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (EGCG-MINPs) was developed. The influence of pH of the reaction mixture over the size distribution of as-synthesized EGCG-MINPs was investigated systematically by employing UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS)-based hydrodynamic size, surface charge (zeta-potential), and polydispersity index (PDI). The FE-SEM, TEM, and XRD characterizations revealed that the EGCG-MINPs synthesized at pH 5.0 were in the size range of 6.20-16.7 nm and possess well-crystalline hexagonal shaped nanostructures of hematite (α-Fe2O3) crystal phase. The role of EGCG in Fe3+ ion reduction and EGCG-MINP formation was confirmed by FTIR analysis. The VSM analysis has revealed that EGCG-MINPs were highly magnetic nanostructures with the hysteretic feature of saturation magnetization (Ms), remanent magnetization (Mr), and coercivity (Hc) as 33.64 emu/g, 12.18 emu/g, and 0.33 Oe, respectively. Besides, significant (p < 0.001) dose-dependent (250-1000 μg/mL) antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against the NDM-1-producing Gram-negative Escherichia coli (AK-33), Klebsiella pneumoniae (AK-65), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AK-66), and Shigella boydii (AK-67) bacterial isolates warranted the as-synthesized EGCG-MINPs as a promising alternative for clinical management of chronic bacterial infections in biomedical settings. In addition, molecular docking experiments revealed that compared to free Fe3+ and EGCG alone, the EGCG-MINPs or Fe-EGCG complex possess significantly high binding affinity toward HSA and hence can be considered as promising biocompatible nanodrug carriers in in vivo drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Owing to unique nano-scale properties, TiO2-NPs (T-NPs) are employed as food-quality enhancers in >900 processed food products. Whereas, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a green tea polyphenol is consumed in traditional brewed tea, globally. Taken together, we aimed to investigate whether human gastric-acid digested T-NPs and complex tea catechins yield ionic species (Ti4+, Ti3+ etc.) and active EGCG forms to meet favourable conditions for in vivo bio-genesis of EGCG-coronated TiO2-NPs (ET-NPs) in human gut. Secondly, compared to bare-surface micro and nano-scale TiO2, i.e., T-MPs and T-NPs, respectively, how EGCG coronation on ET-NPs in the gut facilitates the modulation of intrinsic propensity of internalization of TiO2 species into bacteria, body-organs, and gut-microbiota (GM), and immune system. ET-NPs were synthesized in non-toxic aqueous solution at varied pH (3-10) and characterised by state-of-the-arts for crystallinity, surface-charge, EGCG-encapsulation, stability, size, composition and morphology. Besides, flow-cytometry (FCM), TEM, EDS, histopathology, RT-PCR, 16S-rRNA metagenomics and ELISA were also performed to assess the size and surface dependent activities of ET-NPs, T-NPs and T-MPs vis-a-vis planktonic bacteria, biofilm, GM bacterial communities and animal's organs. Electron-microscopic, NMR, FTIR, DLS, XRD and EDS confirmed the EGCG coronation, dispersity, size-stability of ET-NPs, crystallinity and elemental composition of ET-NPs-8 and T-NPs. Besides, FCM, RT-PCR, 16S-rRNA metagenomics, histopathology, SEM and EDS analyses exhibited that EGCG coronation in ET-NPs-8 enhanced the penetration into body organs (i.e., liver and kidney etc.) and metabolically active bacterial communities of GM.

Abstract
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial cells embedded in biofilm matrices can lead to the development of chronic cariogenesis. Here, we isolated and identified three Gram-positive MDR oral cocci, (1) SJM-04, (2) SJM-38, and (3) SJM-65, and characterized them morphologically, biochemically, and by 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis as Georgenia sp., Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Rothia mucilaginosa, respectively. These three oral isolates exhibited antibiotic-resistance against nalidixic acid, tetracycline, cefuroxime, methicillin, and ceftazidime. Furthermore, these Gram positive MDR oral cocci showed significant (p < 0.05) variations in their biofilm forming ability under different physicochemical conditions, that is, at temperatures of 28, 30, and 42 °C, pH of 6.4, 7.4, and 8.4, and NaCl concentrations from 200 to 1000 µg/mL. Exposure of oral isolates to TiO2NPs (14.7 nm) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced planktonic cell viability and biofilm formation in a concentration-dependent manner, which was confirmed by observing biofilm architecture by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy. Overall, these results have important implications for the use of tetragonal anatase phase TiO2NPs (size range 5-25 nm, crystalline size 13.7 nm, and spherical shape) as an oral antibiofilm agent against Gram positive cocci infections. We suggest that TiO2NPs pave the way for further applications in oral mouthwash formulations and antibiofilm dental coatings.

Abstract
The present opinion deals with an updated safety assessment of the food additive titanium dioxide (E 171) based on new relevant scientific evidence considered by the Panel to be reliable, including data obtained with TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and data from an extended one-generation reproductive toxicity (EOGRT) study. Less than 50% of constituent particles by number in E 171 have a minimum external dimension < 100 nm. In addition, the Panel noted that constituent particles < 30 nm amounted to less than 1% of particles by number. The Panel therefore considered that studies with TiO2 NPs < 30 nm were of limited relevance to the safety assessment of E 171. The Panel concluded that although gastrointestinal absorption of TiO2 particles is low, they may accumulate in the body. Studies on general and organ toxicity did not indicate adverse effects with either E 171 up to a dose of 1,000 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day or with TiO2 NPs (> 30 nm) up to the highest dose tested of 100 mg/kg bw per day. No effects on reproductive and developmental toxicity were observed up to a dose of 1,000 mg E 171/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested in the EOGRT study. However, observations of potential immunotoxicity and inflammation with E 171 and potential neurotoxicity with TiO2 NPs, together with the potential induction of aberrant crypt foci with E 171, may indicate adverse effects. With respect to genotoxicity, the Panel concluded that TiO2 particles have the potential to induce DNA strand breaks and chromosomal damage, but not gene mutations. No clear correlation was observed between the physico-chemical properties of TiO2 particles and the outcome of either in vitro or in vivo genotoxicity assays. A concern for genotoxicity of TiO2 particles that may be present in E 171 could therefore not be ruled out. Several modes of action for the genotoxicity may operate in parallel and the relative contributions of different molecular mechanisms elicited by TiO2 particles are not known. There was uncertainty as to whether a threshold mode of action could be assumed. In addition, a cut-off value for TiO2 particle size with respect to genotoxicity could not be identified. No appropriately designed study was available to investigate the potential carcinogenic effects of TiO2 NPs. Based on all the evidence available, a concern for genotoxicity could not be ruled out, and given the many uncertainties, the Panel concluded that E 171 can no longer be considered as safe when used as a food additive.

Abstract
Glipizide is known to stimulate insulin secretion by β-cells of the pancreas. It is a second-generation sulfonylurea drug used in the management of type 2 diabetes. The shorter biological half-life makes it a suitable candidate to be designed as a controlled release formulation. Human serum albumin (HSA), a major plasma protein plays a crucial role in the transportation of drugs, hormones, fatty acids, and many other molecules and determines their physiological fate and biodistribution. In this study, the interaction of glipizide with HSA was investigated under physiological conditions using multi-spectroscopic techniques corroborated with molecular docking and dynamics approach. It was found that glipizide integrates to HSA with a binding constant in the order of 105 M-1. The mode of fluorescence quenching by glipizide is static in nature with one binding site. Glipizide preferentially interacts with sub-domain IIA of HSA and their complexion is thermodynamically favorable. This interaction results in the loss of α-helical content of HSA. The energy transfer efficiency from HSA to glipizide was found to be 26.72%. In silico molecular docking and simulation studies ratified in vitro findings and revealed that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions are accountable for glipizide-HSA complex formation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
In this study, fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) were exposed to an estimated daily human E171 consumption concentration for 20 generations. Exposure to E171 resulted in: a change in normal developmental and reproductive dynamics, reduced fecundity after repetitive breeding, increased genotoxicity, the appearance of aberrant phenotypes and morphologic changes to the adult fat body. Marks of adaptive evolution and directional selection were also exhibited. The larval stages were at a higher risk of sustaining damage from E171 as they had a slower elimination rate of TiO2 compared to the adults. This is particularly worrisome, since among the human population, children tend to consume higher daily concentrations of E171 than do adults. The genotoxic effect of E171 was statistically higher in each subsequent generation compared to the previous one. Aberrant phenotypes were likely caused by developmental defects induced by E171, and were not mutations, since the phenotypic features were not transferred to any progeny even after 5 generations of consecutive crossbreeding. Therefore, exposure to E171 during the early developmental period carries a higher risk of toxicity. The fact that the daily human consumption concentration of E171 interferes with and influences fruit fly physiological, ontogenetic, genotoxic, and adaptive processes certainly raises safety concerns.

Abstract
The wider applications of nanoparticles (NPs) has evoked a world-wide concern due to their possible risk of toxicity in humans and other organisms. Aggregation and accumulation of NPs into cell leads to their interaction with biological macromolecules including proteins, nucleic acids and cellular organelles, which eventually induce toxicological effects. Application of toxicogenomics to investigate molecular pathway-based toxicological consequences has opened new vistas in nanotoxicology research. Indeed, genomic approaches appeared as a new paradigm in terms of providing information at molecular levels and have been proven to be as a powerful tool for identification and quantification of global shifts in gene expression. Toxicological responses of NPs have been discussed in this chapter with the aim to provide a clear understanding of the molecular mechanism of NPs induced toxicity both in in vivo and in vitro test models.

Abstract
Pendimethalin (PM) is a dinitroaniline herbicide extensively applied against the annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds. There is no report available on PM-induced low-dose genotoxicity in human primary cells and in vivo test models. Such data gap has prompted us to evaluate the genotoxic potential of PM in human lymphocytes and rats. PM selectively binds in the minor groove of DNA by forming covalent bonds with G and C nitrogenous bases, as well as with the ribose sugar. PM induces micronucleus formation (MN) in human lymphocytes, indicating its clastogenic potential. Comet assay data showed 35.6-fold greater DNA damage in PM (200 μM)-treated human lymphocytes. Rat bone-marrow cells, at the highest dose of 50 mg/kg b w/day of PM also exhibited 10.5-fold greater DNA damage. PM at 200 μM and 50 mg/kg b w/day induces 193.4 and 229% higher reactive oxygen species generation in human lymphocytes and rat bone-marrow cells. PM-treated human lymphocytes and rat bone-marrow cells both showed dysfunction of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m). PM exposure results in the appearance of 72.2 and 35.2% sub-G1 apoptotic peaks in human lymphocytes and rat bone-marrow cells when treated with 200 μM and 50 mg/kg b w/day of PM. Rats exposed to PM also showed imbalance in antioxidant enzymes and histological pathology. Overall, our data demonstrated the genotoxic and apoptotic potentials of PM in human and animal test models.
