Theoretical and experimental investigation of novel quinazoline derivatives: synthesis, photophysical, reactive properties, molecular docking and selective HSA biointeraction.

Abstract
Two new quinazoline derivatives (2a and 2b) were successfully synthesized in this work using the condensation technique in excellent yields. Using spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses, the compounds were completely characterized. Density functional theory (DFT) computations have been used to examine the title compound's reactive characteristics. Chemical reactivity was predicted using local reactive descriptors and molecule electrostatic potential. Additionally, Time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) simulations were used to examine the impact of solvents on the photophysical characteristics. The affinity of compounds 2a and 2b for human serum albumin (HSA) was further explored using several electronic spectroscopies. Through static mechanisms, both compounds reduce the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA. It is determined that the HSA-2b complex's binding constant is significantly greater than the HSA-2a complex. The fluorescence spectrum measurements proved that the HSA underwent structural changes after interaction with these compounds. It was demonstrated by site marker competitive displacement studies that compounds 2a and 2b preferred to bind to site I in HSA subdomain IIA. Additionally, synchronised fluorescence spectra were utilized to analyze how HSA's conformation changed after interacting with various substances. The molecular docking investigations of these compounds with the three critical HSA binding sites, comprising subdomains IIA, IIIA, and IB, further confirmed the experimental findings. The significant contact between the investigated compounds and HSA was supported by the docking simulations.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Odanacatib (ODN) is a selective cathepsin K inhibitor that acts as an anti-resorptive agent to treat osteoporosis. ODN is also found effective in reducing the effect of severe periodontitis. The interaction between ODN and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using spectroscopic, microscopic, and in silico approaches to characterize their binding. The fluorescence intensity of HSA increased upon the addition of increasing concentrations of ODN accompanied by blueshift in the fluorescence spectrum, which suggested hydrophobic formation around the microenvironment of the fluorophores upon ODN binding. A moderate binding affinity was obtained for ODN-HSA binding, with binding constant (Ka) values of ∼104 M-1. Circular dichroism results suggested that the overall secondary and tertiary structures of HSA were both only slightly altered upon ODN binding. The surface morphology of HSA was also affected upon ODN binding, showing aggregate formation. Drug displacement and molecular docking results revealed that ODN preferably binds to site III in subdomain IB of HSA, while molecular dynamics simulations indicated formation of a stable protein complex when site III was occupied by ODN. The ODN-HSA complex was mainly stabilized by a combination of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. These findings provide additional information to understand the interaction mechanism of ODN in blood circulation and may help in future improvements on the adverse effects of ODN.

Abstract
Half-sandwich Ru(II) complexes belong to group of biologically active metallo-compounds with promising antimicrobial and anticancer activity. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of arene ruthenium complexes containing benzimidazole moiety, namely, [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl(bimCOO)] (1) and [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2(bim)] (2) (where bimCOO = benzimidazole-2-carboxylate and bim = 1-H-benzimidazole). The compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, UV-vis and CV. Molecular structures of the complexes were determined by SC-XRD analysis, and the results indicated the presence of a pseudo-tetrahedral (piano stool) geometry. Interactions in the crystals of the Ru complexes using the Hirshfeld surface analysis were also examined. In addition, the biological studies of the complexes, such as antimicrobial assays (against planktonic and adherent microbes), cytotoxicity and lipophilicity, were performed. Antibacterial activity of the complexes was evaluated against S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa PAO1 and LES B58. Cytotoxic activity was tested against primary human fibroblasts and adenocarcinoma human alveolar basal epithelial cells. Obtained biological results show that the ruthenium compounds have bacteriostatic activity toward Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 strain and are not toxic to normal cells. A molecular docking study was applied as a predictive source of information about the plausibility of examined structures binding with HSA as a transporting system.

Abstract
Drug binding to human serum albumin (HSA) significantly affects in vivo drug transport and biological activity. To gain insight into the binding mechanism of the two B-Raf tyrosine kinase inhibitors dabrafenib and vemurafenib to HSA, in this work, we adopted a combined strategy based on fluorescence spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), circular dichroism (CD), and molecular simulations. Both anticancer drugs are found to bind spontaneously and with a 1:1 stoichiometry within the same binding pocket, located in Sudlow's site II (subdomain IIIA) of the protein with comparable affinity and without substantially perturbing the protein secondary structure. However, the nature of each drug-protein interactions is distinct: whereas the formation of the dabrafenib/HSA complex is more entropically driven, the formation of the alternative vemurafenib/HSA assembly is prevalently enthalpic in nature. Kinetic analysis also indicates that the association rate is similar for the two drugs, whereas the residence time of vemurafenib within the HSA binding pocket is somewhat higher than that determined for the alternative B-Raf inhibitor.

Abstract
Biomolecular recognition usually leads to the formation of binding complexes, often accompanied by large-scale conformational changes. This process is fundamental to biological functions at the molecular and cellular levels. Uncovering the physical mechanisms of biomolecular recognition and quantifying the key biomolecular interactions are vital to understand these functions. The recently developed energy landscape theory has been successful in quantifying recognition processes and revealing the underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have shown that in addition to affinity, specificity is also crucial for biomolecular recognition. The proposed physical concept of intrinsic specificity based on the underlying energy landscape theory provides a practical way to quantify the specificity. Optimization of affinity and specificity can be adopted as a principle to guide the evolution and design of molecular recognition. This approach can also be used in practice for drug discovery using multidimensional screening to identify lead compounds. The energy landscape topography of molecular recognition is important for revealing the underlying flexible binding or binding-folding mechanisms. In this review, we first introduce the energy landscape theory for molecular recognition and then address four critical issues related to biomolecular recognition and conformational dynamics: (1) specificity quantification of molecular recognition; (2) evolution and design in molecular recognition; (3) flexible molecular recognition; (4) chromosome structural dynamics. The results described here and the discussions of the insights gained from the energy landscape topography can provide valuable guidance for further computational and experimental investigations of biomolecular recognition and conformational dynamics.

Abstract
The interaction of two binuclear mixed ligand Cu(ii) complexes [Cu(o-phen)LCu(OAc)] (1) and [Cu(o-phen)LCu(o-phen)](OAc) (2) (H3L = o-HOC6H4C(H)[double bond, length as m-dash]N-NH-C(OH)[double bond, length as m-dash]N-N[double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)-C6H4OH-o) and a new mononuclear Zn(ii) complex [Zn(HL)(o-phen)(H2O)](OAc)·H2O (3) (H2L = o-HOC6H4-C(H)[double bond, length as m-dash]N-NH-C([double bond, length as m-dash]O)-NH-N[double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)-C6H4OH-o, o-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and OAc = CH3COO-) with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied using fluorescence quenching, synchronous and 3D fluorescence measurements and UV-vis spectroscopy. 3D fluorescence studies showed that the HSA structure was altered at the secondary and tertiary levels upon binding with the complexes. This was further supported by the electronic absorption spectral studies of HSA in the absence and presence of the compounds. The average binding distance (r) between HSA and the complexes was obtained by Förster's resonance energy transfer theory. Complex 3 was structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Molecular docking studies indicated that all three complexes primarily bind to HSA in subdomain IIA with amino acid residues such as Arg218 and Lys199 which are located at the entrance of Sudlow's site I. The in vitro cytotoxicities of complexes 1-3 against HeLa cells showed promising anticancer activity (IC50 = 3.5, 3.9 and 16.9 μM for 1, 2 and 3, respectively). Live cell time lapse imaging for 1 was done to capture the dynamic behavior of the cells upon treatment with the complex. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry with HeLa cells indicated that 1 and 2 induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase while 3 induced arrest in the G0/G1 phase leading to cell death. Compounds 1 and 2 but not 3 induced apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway as suggested from the relative p53, caspase3 and bcl2 mRNA levels measured by real-time quantitative PCR analysis.

Abstract
Conioidine A (1), isolated in 1993 with unknown relative and absolute configuration, was suggested to be a DNA-binding compound by an indirect technique. Four stereoisomers of conioidine A have been synthesized from d- and l-proline, and the natural product has been identified as possessing (4R,6R) absolute configuration. Binding of the conioidine diastereomers to calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). All stereoisomers display at least an order of magnitude weaker binding to DNA than the control compound netropsin; however, a strong association with HSA was observed for the (4R,6S) stereoisomer.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the cooperative refolding/renaturation behaviour of guanidinium hydrochloride (GdnHCl) denatured bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the presence of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and their catanionic mixture in the solution of 60 mM sodium phosphate buffer of physiological pH 7.4, using artificial chaperone-assisted two-step method. Here, we have employed biophysical techniques to characterize the refolding mechanism of denatured BSA after 200 times of dilution in the presence of cationic, anionic surfactants and their catanionic mixture, separately. We have found that minimum refolding of diluted BSA in the presence of 1:1 rational mixture of CTAB and SDS (CTAB/SDS = 50/50), it may be due to the micelles formation which is responsible for the unordered microstructure aggregate formation. Other mixtures (CTAB/SDS = 20/80 and 80/20) slightly played an effective role during refolding process in the presence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin. On other hand, CTAB and SDS are more effective and reflect a good renaturation tendency of denatured BSA solution separately and in existence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin as compare to their mixture compositions. But overall, CTAB has the better renaturation tendency as compare to SDS in the existence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin. These results ascribed the presence of charge head group and length of hydrophobic tail of CTAB surfactant that plays an important task during electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions at pH 7.4 at which BSA carries negative charge on their surface. These biophysical parameters suggest that, CTAB surfactant assisted artificial chaperone protocol may be utilized in the protein renaturation/refolding studies, which may address the associated problems of biotechnological industries for the development of efficient and inexpensive folding aides, which may also be used to produced genetically engineered cells related diseases, resulting from protein misfolding/aggregation.

Purpurin 18 derivatives with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker were synthesized as novel photosensitizers (PSs) with the goal of using them in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer. These compounds, derived from a second-generation PS, exhibit absorption at long wavelengths; considerable singlet oxygen generation and, in contrast to purpurin 18, have higher hydrophilicity due to decreased logP. Together, these properties make them potentially ideal PSs. To verify this, we screened the developed compounds for cell uptake, intracellular localization, antitumor activity and induced cell death type. All of the tested compounds were taken up into cancer cells of various origin and localized in organelles known to be important PDT targets, specifically, mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. The incorporation of a zinc ion and PEGylation significantly enhanced the photosensitizing efficacy, decreasing IC50 (half maximal inhibitory compound concentration) in HeLa cells by up to 170 times compared with the parental purpurin 18. At effective PDT concentrations, the predominant type of induced cell death was apoptosis. Overall, our results show that the PEGylated derivatives presented have significant potential as novel PSs with substantially augmented phototoxicity for application in the PDT of cervical, prostate, pancreatic and breast cancer.

Abstract
Concise total syntheses of the anthracenone C-glycosides alvaradoins E and F, uveoside, and 10-epi-uveoside (1-4) have been accomplished from chrysophanic acid 8 and bromosugar 9. Key steps in the syntheses include the DBU-induced coupling of 8 and 9 to produce β-C-glycoside 11, and a Pb(OAc)4-mediated Kochi reaction to introduce the C-1' oxygen atom of the natural products. Isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorescence binding studies reveal that compounds 1 and 2 have good affinity for the plasma protein HSA.

Abstract
Background Resistance towards targeted cancer treatments caused by single nucleotide variations is a major issue in many malignancies. Currently, there are a number of available drugs for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), which are overcome by different sets of mutations. The main aim of this study was to explore if it can be possible to exploit this and create a treatment protocol that outperforms each drug on its own. Methods We present a computer program to test different treatment protocols against CML, based on available resistance mutation growth data. The evolution of a relatively stable pool of cancer stem cells is modelled as a stochastic process, with the growth of cells expressing a tumourigenic protein (here, Abl1) and any emerging mutants determined principally by the drugs used in the therapy. Results There can be some benefit to Bosutinib-Ponatinib rotation therapy even if the mutation status is unknown, whereas Imatinib-Nilotinib rotation is unlikely to improve the outcomes. Furthermore, an interplay between growth inhibition and selection effects generates a non-linear relationship between drug doses and the risk of developing resistance. Conclusions Drug rotation therapy might be able to delay the onset of resistance in CML patients without costly ongoing observation of mutation status. Moreover, the simulations give credence to the suggestion that lower drug concentrations may achieve better results following major molecular response in CML.

Suramin, screened from an approved drug library, inhibits HuR functions and attenuates malignant phenotype of oral cancer cells. Cancer Med 2018; 7:6269-6280.

Abstract
AU‐rich elements (ARE) exist in the 3′‐untranslated regions of the mRNA transcribed from cell growth‐related genes such as proto‐oncogenes, cyclin‐related genes, and growth factors. HuR binds and stabilizes ARE‐mRNA. HuR is expressed abundantly in cancer cells and related malignant phenotypes. HuR knockdown attenuates the malignant phenotype of oral cancer cells. In this study, we screened 1570 compounds in the approved drug library by differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) to discover a HuR‐targeted compound. Firstly, 55 compounds were selected by DSF. Then, 8 compounds that showed a shift in the melting temperature value in a concentration‐dependent manner were selected by DSF. Of them, suramin, an anti‐trypanosomal drug, binds to HuR, exhibiting fast‐on and fast‐off kinetic behavior on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). We confirmed that suramin significantly decreased mRNA and protein expression of cyclin A2 and cyclin B1. The cyclin A2 and cyclin B1 mRNAs were destabilized by suramin. Furthermore, the motile and invasive activities of a tongue carcinoma cell line treated with suramin were markedly lower than those of control cells. The above findings suggest that suramin binds to HuR and inhibits its function. We also showed that the anticancer effects of suramin were caused by the inhibition of HuR function, indicating its potential as a novel therapeutic agent in the treatment of oral cancer. Our results suggest that suramin, via its different mechanism, may effectively suppress progressive oral cancer that cannot be controlled using other anticancer agents.

Abstract
Binding affinities of flavonols namely quercetin, myricetin, and kaempferol to human serum albumin (HSA) were determined fluorimetrically and the order was observed to be myricetin > quercetin > kaempferol demonstrating structure-activity relationship. Quercetin-coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) show higher binding affinity to HSA compared to free quercetin with binding constants 6.04 × 107 M-1 and 4.2 × 106 M-1, respectively. Using site-specific markers it is concluded that free quercetin and that coated on AgNPs bind at different sites. Significant structural changes in circular dichroism (CD) spectra of HSA were recorded with quercetin-coated AgNPs compared to free quercetin. These results were further substantiated by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy where fluorescence life time of the tryptophan residue in HSA-quercetin-coated AgNPs complex decreased to 3.63 ns from 4.22 ns in HSA-quercetin complex. Isothermal calorimetric studies reveal two binding modes for quercetin-coated AgNPs and also higher binding constants compared to free quercetin. These higher binding affinities are attributed to altered properties of quercetin when coated on AgNPs enabling it to reach the binding sites other than site II where free quercetin mainly binds.

Abstract
We have studied the binding of busulfan (BN) to human serum albumin (HSA) at physiological pH 7.4 by using fluorescence, UV-vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic tools, as well as dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements and molecular simulation approaches. HSA fluorescence quenching experiments showed that BN reduces the HSA native fluorescence intensity through the static mechanism. In addition, a single binding site on the HSA is occupied by BN with a binding constant at 298K of 1.84×103M-1. The enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) of BN-HSA interaction were calculated as -1.40kcalmol-1 and +10.14calmol-1K-1 respectively, which suggest the possible interaction mode as hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding. Moreover, the secondary structure alteration of HSA following its complexation with BN was studied and showed that α-helical content of HSA gets increased on interacting with BN. Ligand binding site to HSA was further investigated by site-specific markers in fluorescence measurements as well molecular modeling approach which indicated that BN bind to the nearby sudlow site II of HSA through hydrophobic as well as hydrogen bonding interaction. The present study will be helpful for understanding the binding mechanism of BN to human serum albumin.
