Abstract
The study of the intermolecular binding interaction of small molecules with DNA can guide the rational drug design with greater efficacy and improved or more selective activity. In the current study, nintedanib's binding interaction with salmon sperm DNA (ssDNA) was thoroughly investigated using UV-vis spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, ionic strength measurements, viscosity measurements, thermodynamics, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulation techniques under physiologically simulated conditions (pH 7.4). The obtained experimental results showed that nintedanib and ssDNA had an apparent binding interaction. Nintedanib's binding constant (Kb) with ssDNA, as determined using the Benesi-Hildebrand plot, was 7.9 × 104 M-1 at 298 K, indicating a moderate binding affinity. The primary binding contact forces were hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions, as verified by the enthalpy and entropy changes (ΔH0 and ΔS0), which were - 16.25 kJ.mol-1 and 39.30 J mol-1 K-1, respectively. According to the results of UV-vis spectrophotometry, viscosity assays, and competitive binding interactions with ethidium bromide or rhodamine B, the binding mode of nintedanib to ssDNA was minor groove. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation studies showed that nintedanib fitted into the B-DNA minor groove's AT-rich region with high stability. This study can contribute to further understanding of nintedanib's molecular mechanisms and pharmacological effects.

Abstract
In the present study, a drug-like molecular hybrid structure between chalcone and sulfonamide moieties was synthesized and characterized. The structural peculiarities of the synthesized hybrid were further verified by means of single crystal X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, its biological activity as an anticancer agent was evaluated. The synthesized model of chalcone-sulfonamide hybrid 3 was found to have potent anticancer properties against the studied cancer cell lines. Hence, the in vitro binding interaction of hybrid 3 with Calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was studied at a simulated physiological pH to confirm its anticancer activity for the first time. This was investigated by applying different spectroscopic techniques, ionic strength measurements, viscosity measurements, thermodynamics, molecular dynamic simulation and molecular docking studies. The obtained results showed a clear binding interaction between hybrid 3 and CT-DNA with a moderate affinity via a minor groove binding mechanism. The binding constant (Kb) at 298 K calculated from the Benesi-Hildebrand equation was found to be 3.49 × 104 M-1. The entropy and enthalpy changes (ΔS0 and ΔH0) were 204.65 J mol-1 K-1 and 35.08 KJ mol-1, respectively, indicating that hydrophobic interactions constituted the major binding forces. The results obtained from molecular docking and dynamic simulation studies confirmed the minor groove binding interaction and the stability of the formed complex. This study can contribute to further understanding of the molecular mechanism of hybrid 3 as a potential antitumor agent and can also guide future clinical and pharmacological studies for rational drug design with enhanced or more selective activity and greater efficacy.[Figure: see text]Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
This study is designed to investigate the interaction of phenylpiperidine derivative drug paroxetine, which is an effective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and biomolecules through electrochemical, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking methods. The interaction between paroxetine and biomolecules was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry according to the decrease in deoxyguanosine anodic oxidation signal of double-stranded calf thymus DNA. Fluorescence spectroscopy studies were performed by titrating paroxetine against double-stranded calf thymus DNA solution at four different temperatures. The fluorescent results showed that paroxetine had a great affinity to bind with double-stranded calf thymus DNA. Interaction studies demonstrate that paroxetine binds to double-stranded calf thymus DNA via intercalation binding mode, and the binding constant values were calculated as 7.24 × 104 M-1 and 1.52 × 104 M-1 at 25 °C, based on voltammetric and spectroscopic results, respectively. Moreover, with the aim of elucidating the interaction mechanism between paroxetine and double-stranded calf thymus DNA, electrochemical and fluorescence spectroscopy studies along with molecular docking analysis were made.

Abstract
Antidepressants refer to psychotropic drugs which are used to treat mental illness with prominent emotional depression symptoms. It was reported that antidepressants had associated with anti-carcinogenic function which was associated with various signaling pathways and changing of microenvironment. Its mechanism includes cell apoptosis, antiproliferative effects, mitochondria-mediated oxidative stress, DNA damaging, changing of immune response and inflammatory conditions, and acting by inhibiting multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Accumulated studies showed that antidepressants influenced the metabolic pathway of tumor cells. This review summarized recent developments with the impacts and mechanisms of 10 kinds of antidepressants in carcinostasis. Antidepressants are also used in combination therapy with typical anti-tumor drugs which shows a synergic effect in anti-tumor. By contrast, the promotion roles of antidepressants in increasing cancer recurrence risk, mortality, and morbidity are also included. Further clinical experiments and mechanism analyses needed to be achieved. A full understanding of the underlying mechanisms of antidepressants-mediated anticarcinogenic effects may provide new clues for cancer prevention and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Studying the binding interaction between biological macromolecules and small molecules has formed the core of different research aspects. The interaction of palbociclib with calf thymus DNA at simulated physiological conditions (pH 7.4) was studied using different approaches, including spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, FT-IR spectroscopy, viscosity measurements, ionic strength measurements, thermodynamic, molecular dynamic simulation, and docking studies. The obtained findings showed an apparent binding interaction between palbociclib and calf thymus DNA. Groove binding mode was confirmed from the findings of competitive binding studies with ethidium bromide or rhodamine B, UV–Vis spectrophotometry, and viscosity assessment. The binding constant (Kb) at 298 K calculated from the Benesi–Hildebrand equation was found to be 6.42 × 103 M−1. The enthalpy and entropy changes (∆H0 and ∆S0) were − 33.09 kJ mol−1 and 61.78 J mol−1 K−1, respectively, showing that hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds constitute the primary binding forces. As indicated by the molecular docking results, palbociclib fits into the AT-rich region of the B-DNA minor groove with four base pairs long binding site. The dynamic performance and stability of the formed complex were also evaluated using molecular dynamic simulation studies. The in vitro study of the intermolecular binding interaction of palbociclib with calf thymus DNA could guide future clinical and pharmacological studies for the rational drug scheming with enhanced or more selective activity and greater efficacy.

Abstract
Fluoxetine (FLX) is an antidepressant that is increasingly being detected in aquatic environments. However, this contaminated FLX can affect aquatic organisms. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic, mutagenic, and cytotoxic potential of FLX on erythrocytes in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) after acute exposure. Fish were exposed to different concentrations of FLX (10, 100 and 1000 µg/L) for 96 h. Then, the condition factor (K value) was used to assess the general fish condition. The genotoxicity was investigated using a comet assay, and the mutagenicity was examined using micronucleus (MN) and erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities (ENAs) assays. In addition, the cytotoxicity was analyzed by erythrocyte morphometry and erythrocyte maturity index (EMI). The results showed that FLX did not affect the fish's health. Nevertheless, 100 and 1000 µg/L FLX significantly increased DNA damage. Furthermore, a higher concentration of FLX presented a significantly increased frequency of MNs and ENAs, also leading to changes in some erythrocyte morphometric indices and significantly decreased mature erythrocytes. In conclusion, our results indicate that FLX induces genotoxic, mutagenic, and cytotoxic effects in erythrocytes of O. niloticus.

Abstract
In the current work, the binding interaction of cabozantinib with salmon sperm DNA (SS-DNA) was studied under simulated physiological conditions (pH 7.4) using fluorescence emission spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, ionic strength measurement, FT-IR spectroscopy, and molecular modeling methods. The obtained experimental data demonstrated an apparent binding interaction of cabozantinib with SS-DNA. The binding constant (Kb) of cabozantinib with SS-DNA evaluated from the Benesi-Hildebrand plot was equal to 5.79 × 105 at 298 K. The entropy and enthalpy changes (∆S0 and ∆H0) in the binding interaction of SS-DNA with cabozantinib were 44.13 J mol-1 K-1 and -19.72 KJ mol-1, respectively, demonstrating that the basic binding interaction forces are hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Results from UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, competitive binding interaction with rhodamine B or ethidium bromide, and viscosity measurements revealed that cabozantinib binds to SS-DNA via minor groove binding. The molecular docking results revealed that cabozantinib fits into the AT-rich region of the B-DNA minor groove and the binding site of cabozantinib was 4 base pairs long. Moreover, cabozantinib has eight active torsions, implying a high degree of flexibility in its structure, which played a significant role in the formation of a stable cabozantinib-DNA complex.

Abstract
In this study, the Cu(II) complex with Zonisamide (ZNS) and 1, 10-Phenanthroline (Phen) ligands as an anticancer metallodrug was synthesized and characterized successfully by FT-IR, mass spectrometry, TGA, XPS, AAS, CHNSO, magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductivity. The interaction of Cu(II) complex with DNA was explored through a multi-spectroscopic approach such as fluorescence, UV-vis spectrophotometry, CD spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. Molecular docking simulation was carried out to gain a deeper insight into the target site of DNA which interacted with the mentioned complex. The competitive binding tests with Hoechst 33258 showed that [CuCl2(ZNS)(Phen)EtOH].H2O can bind to the groove site of DNA. The calculated thermodynamic parameters, ΔS° = +201.15 J mol-1K-1 and ΔH° = +41.32 kJ mol-1 confirm that the hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonding play an essential role in the binding process. The experimental and molecular modeling results demonstrate that the Cu(II) complex binds to DNA through major groove binding. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxic effects of [CuCl2(ZNS)(Phen)EtOH].H2O against B92 cancer cell lines showed better activity in Cu(II) complex in comparison to free ZNS. Therefore, [CuCl2(ZNS)(Phen)EtOH].H2O can open a new horizon in the treatment of glioma cancer by ZNS metallodrugs.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Glutathione reductase (GR) is a homodimeric enzyme playing an important role in the regeneration of the central antioxidant molecule reduced glutathione (GSH) from oxidized glutathione (GSSG) at the expense of a molecule of NADPH. GSH scavenges and eliminates superoxide and hydroxyl radicals non-enzymatically or serves as an electron donor for several enzymes. Fluoxetine (FLU), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is widely prescribed in the treatment of major depressive disorder. Here, using enzyme kinetic studies and molecular docking simulations, we aimed at disclosing the mechanistic and structural aspects of the interaction between GR and FLU. Affecting enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner, FLU was shown to be a moderately potent (IC50 = 0.88 mM) inhibitor of GR. When the variable substrate was GSSG, the type of inhibition was linear mixed-type competitive (Ki = 279 ± 32 μM; α = 5.48 ± 1.29). When the variable substrate was NADPH, however, the type of inhibition was non-competitive (Ki = 879 ± 82 μM). The observed difference in inhibition types was attributed to the binding of FLU in the large intermonomer cavity of GR, where it hampered catalysis and interfered with substrate binding. Overall, although it is anticipated that long-term use of FLU leads to acquired GR deficiency, the inhibitory action of FLU on GR may be therapeutically exploited in anti-cancer research.

Abstract
As a sulfonylurea herbicide, sulfosulfuron is extensively applied in controlling broad-leaves and weeds in agriculture. It may cause a potential risk for human and herbivores health due to its widely application and residue in crops and fruits. The study of the binding characteristics of calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) with sulfosulfuron was performed through a series of spectroscopic techniques and computer simulation. The experimental results showed sulfosulfuron interacted with ct-DNA through the groove binding. The negative values of thermodynamic parameter (ΔH0, ΔS0 and ΔG0) revealed that the reaction of sulfosulfuron with DNA could proceed spontaneously, and the hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces were essential to sulfosulfuron-ct-DNA binding, which was further verified by molecular docking study. Meanwhile, the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions also played a supporting function for the interaction of sulfosulfuron with ct-DNA. The circular dichroism (CD) results exhibited a minor change in the secondary structure of ct-DNA during interaction process. Moreover, the conformation of sulfosulfuron had the obvious change after binding to DNA, which suggested that the flexibility of sulfosulfuron contributed to stabilizing the sulfosulfuron-ct-DNA complex.

Abstract
The interaction of native calf thymus DNA with the anti-hyperthyroid drug methimazole was investigated by different spectroscopic (UV-Vis spectrophotometry, spectroflourimetry, and circular dichroism), electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry) methods, and molecular docking calculations. The binding constant (Kb) obtained from the spectrophotometric method was 9.67 × 103 L mol−1, comparable with that of groove binding molecules. The binding mode was further investigated by following the competition between Hoechst 33258 and methimazole for DNA grooves by spectrofluorimetry. Consistent results were obtained from all experimental methods used in this study. Finally, theoretical calculations using the molecular docking method confirmed the experimental results.

Abstract
The objective of the present research is to study the interaction of separate and simultaneous of alprazolam (ALP) and fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) with human serum albumin (HSA) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) using different kinds of spectroscopic, cyclic voltammetry and molecular modeling techniques. The absorbance spectra of protein, drugs and protein-drug showed complex formation between the drugs and HSA. Fluorescence analysis demonstrated that ALP and FLX could quench the fluorescence spectrum of HSA and demonstrated the conformational change of HSA in the presence of both drugs. Also, fluorescence quenching mechanism of HSA-drug complexes both separately and simultaneously was suggested as static quenching. The analysis of UV absorption data and the fluorescence quenching of HSA in the binary and ternary systems showed that FLX decreased the binding affinity between ALP and HSA. On the contrary, ALP increased the binding affinity of FLX and HSA. The results of synchronous fluorescence and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra indicated that the binding of drugs to HSA would modify the microenvironment around the Trp and Tyr residues and the conformation of HSA. The distances between Trp residue and the binding sites of the drugs were estimated according to the Förster theory, and it was demonstrated that non-radiative energy transfer from HSA to the drugs occurred with a high probability. Moreover, according to CV measurements, the decrease of peak current in the cyclic voltammogram of the both drugs in the presence of HSA revealed that they interacted with albumin and binding constants were calculated for binary systems which were in agreement with the binding constants obtained from UV absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The prediction of the best binding sites of ALP and FLX in binary and ternary systems in molecular modeling approach was done using of Gibbs free energy.

Abstract
The binding interaction of sorafenib with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was studied using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), viscosity measurement and molecular docking methods. The experimental results revealed that there was obvious binding interaction between sorafenib and ct-DNA. The binding constant (Kb) of sorafenib with ct-DNA was 5.6×10(3) M(-1) at 298 K. The enthalpy and entropy changes (ΔH(0) and ΔS(0)) in the binding process of sorafenib with ct-DNA were -27.66 KJ mol(-1) and -21.02 J mol(-1) K(-1), respectively, indicating that the main binding interaction forces were van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding. The docking results suggested that sorafenib preferred to bind on the minor groove of A-T rich DNA and the binding site of sorafenib was 4 base pairs long. The conformation change of sorafenib in the sorafenib-DNA complex was obviously observed and the change was close relation with the structure of DNA, implying that the flexibility of sorafenib molecule played an important role in the formation of the stable sorafenib-ct-DNA complex.

Abstract
Colon cancer is one of the most common tumors worldwide, with increasing incidence in developing countries. Patients treated with fluoxetine (FLX) have a reduced incidence of colon cancer, although there still remains great controversy about the nature of its effects. Here we explore the latest achievements related to FLX treatment and colon cancer. Moreover, we discuss new ideas about the mechanisms of the effects of FLX treatment in colon cancer. This leads to the hypothesis of FLX arresting colon tumor cells at the at G1 cell-cycle phase through a control of the tumor-related energy generation machinery. We believe that the potential of FLX to act against tumor metabolism warrants further investigation.
