Impacts of monosaccharide composition on immunomodulation by cello-pentaose, manno-pentaose, and xylo-pentaose: Unraveling the underlying molecular mechanisms. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 334:122006. [PMID: 38553211 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Different types of functional oligosaccharides exhibit varying degrees of immune-enhancing effects, which might be attributable to differences in their glycosyl structures. The differences in the immunomodulatory action of three functional oligosaccharides with distinct glycosyl compositions: cello-oligosaccharides (COS), manno-oligosaccharides (MOS), and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), were investigated in mouse-derived macrophage RAW264.7. Moreover, the immune enhancement mechanism of oligosaccharides with diverse glycosyl compositions was investigated from a molecular interaction perspective. The TLR4-dependent immunoregulatory effect of functional oligosaccharides was shown by measuring the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 in RAW264.7 cells treated with different functional oligosaccharides, both with and without Resatorvid [TAK-242] (a Toll-like receptor 4 [TLR4] inhibitor). Western blot analysis showed that binding of the three oligosaccharides to TLR4 activated the downstream signaling pathway and consequently enhanced the immune response. The fluorescence spectra and molecular docking results revealed that the main mechanisms by which these oligosaccharides attach to the TLR4 active pocket are hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Functional oligosaccharides were ranked according to their affinity for TLR4, as follows: MOS > COS > XOS, indicating that oligosaccharides or polysaccharides containing mannose units may confer significant advantages for immune enhancement.

Interaction of eugenol-based anti-tuberculosis nanoemulsion with bovine serum albumin: A spectroscopic study including Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28306. [PMID: 38571616 PMCID: PMC10987999 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), a deadly infectious disease, is primarily caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The misuse of antibiotics has led to the development of drug resistance, prompting researchers to explore new technologies to combat multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis (MDR TB). Phospholipid-based nanotherapeutics, such as nanoemulsions, are gaining traction as they enhance drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Our study focuses on the interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and a drug-loaded nanoemulsion based on Eugenol. This nanoemulsion incorporates Eugenol, Clove, cinnamon oil, and first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs like Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol. The primary objective is to assess the biosafety profile of the nanoemulsion upon interaction with BSA. We employed Fluorescence, UV-visible, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyze this interaction. UV-visible spectroscopy detected changes in hydrophobicity due to structural alterations in BSA near the tryptophan residue, leading to the formation of ground-state complexes. Fluorescence spectroscopy demonstrated that the nanoemulsion effectively quenched fluorescence originating from tryptophan and tyrosine residues. Studies using synchronous and three-dimensional spectroscopy point to a potential modification of the aromatic environment of BSA by the nanoemulsion. Resonance light scattering spectra indicated the formation of large aggregates due to the interaction with the nanoemulsion. The second derivative FTIR spectra showed an increase in the magnitude of secondary structure bands, suggesting a conformational shift. This research has significant pharmacological implications for developing safer, more targeted drug delivery systems. The information obtained from the interaction of the nanoemulsion with the blood carrier protein is vital for the future development of superior carriers with minimal adverse effects on patients. It is crucial to remember that conformational changes brought on by drug-ligand complexes attaching to carrier proteins may have negative consequences. Therefore, this study enhances the in vitro evaluation of potential adverse effects of the nanoemulsion on serum proteins.

Abstract
Local anesthetics are effective in relieving pain, but their duration of action is short. Therefore, the development of injectable sustained release systems to prolong the effect of local anesthetics has been of interest. In such systems delivering conventional local anesthetics, it has been challenging to achieve long durations of effect, particularly without incurring tissue toxicity. To overcome these challenges, we created a platform comprising a protein hydrogel incorporating hydrophobic local anesthetic (bupivacaine) nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were prepared by anti-solvent precipitation stabilized with bovine serum albumin (BSA), followed by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GA). The resulting BSA hydrogels prolonged release of bupivacaine in vitro. When bupivacaine nanoparticles within crosslinked BSA were injected at the sciatic nerve in rats, a duration of nerve block of 39.9 h was obtained, compared to 5.5 h for the commercial bupivacaine liposome suspension EXPAREL®. Tissue reaction was benign. We further demonstrated that this system could control the release of the amphiphilic drug diphenhydramine and the hydrophobic paclitaxel.

Heme and Cu 2+-induced vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) tyrosine nitration: A possible molecular mechanism for the attenuated anti-inflammatory effect of VIP in inflammatory diseases. Biochimie 2023; 214:176-187. [PMID: 37481062 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2023.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide that play an important role in immunoregulation and anti-inflammation. Numerous inflammatory/autoimmune disorders are associated with decreased VIP binding ability to receptors and diminished VIP activation of cAMP generation in immune cells. However, the mechanisms linking oxidative/nitrative stress to VIP immune dysfunction remain unknown. It has been reported that the elevated heme or Cu2+ in inflammatory diseases can cause oxidative and nitrative damage to nearby biological targets under high oxidative stress conditions, which affects the structure and activity of linked peptides or proteins. Thus, the VIP down-regulated immune response may be interfered by redox metal catalyzed VIP tyrosine nitration. To explore this, we systematically investigated the possibility of heme or Cu2+ to catalyze VIP tyrosine nitration. The results showed that Tyr10 and Tyr22 of VIP can both be nitrated in heme/H2O2/NO2- system as well as in Cu2+/H2O2/NO2- system. Then, we used synthetic mutant VIPs with tyrosine residues substituted by 3-nitrotyrosine to study the impact of tyrosine nitration on VIP activity in SHSY-5Y cells. Our findings demonstrated that VIP nitration dramatically decreased the content of its α-helix and random coil, suggesting that VIP nitration might reduce its affinity to the receptor. This was further confirmed in the cAMP assay. The results showed that 10 nM of these tyrosine nitrated VIPs could significantly (p < 0.01) decrease cAMP secretion compared to the wild type VIP. Our data reveal that the attenuation of the neuroprotective effect of VIP in inflammation-related diseases might be attributed to metal-catalyzed VIP tyrosine nitration.

Abstract
The diazo coupliling reaction of 3- amino pyridine with coumarin in water medium produces water soluble 6-[3-pyridyl]azocoumarin. The synthesised compound has been fully charecterised by IR, NMR, and Mass spectroscopy. The frontier molecular orbital calculations reveal that 6-[3-pyridyl]azocoumarin is more biologically and chemically active in comparison to coumarin. The cytotoxicity evaluation confirms that 6-[3-pyridyl]azocoumarin is more active than coumarin against human brain glioblastoma cell lines, LN-229 with IC50 value 9.09 μM (IC50 value for coumarin is 9.9 μM). The compound (I) has been synthesized by coupling of diazotized solution of 3-aminopyridine with coumarin in an aqueous medium at ∼ pH 10. The structure of the compound (I) has been characterized using UV-vis, IR, NMR, and Mass spectral studies. Frontier molecular orbital calculations reveal that 6-[3-pyridyl]azocoumarin (I) is more active chemically and biologically in comparison to coumarin. IC50 value 9.09 and 9.9 μM of 6-[3-pyridyl]azocoumarin and coumarin respectively obtained in cytotoxicity evaluation confirms the enhanced activity of the synthesized compound against human brain glioblastoma cell lines, LN-229. The synthesized compound also shows strong binding interactions with DNA and BSA in comparison with coumarin. The DNA binding study shows groove binding interaction of the synthesized compound with CT-DNA. The nature of interaction, binding parameters and structural variations of BSA in the presence of the synthesized compound and coumarin have been evaluated using several usefull spectroscopy approaches such as UV -Vis, time resolved and stady state flurescence. The molecular docking interaction has been carried out to justify the experimental binding interaction with DNA and BSA.

Abstract
To better understand the potential toxicity risks of isoflucypram in humans, The interaction between isoflucypram and HSA (human serum albumin) was studied through molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, ultraviolet-visible absorption, fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies, and circular dichroism spectroscopies. The interaction details were studied using the molecular docking method and molecular dynamics simulation method. The results revealed that the effect of isoflucypram on human serum albumin was mixed (static and dynamic) quenching. Additionally, we were able to obtain important information on the number of binding sites, binding constants, and binding distance. The interaction between isoflucypram and human serum albumin occurred mainly through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Spectroscopic results showed that isoflucypram caused conformational changes in HSA (human serum albumin), in which the α-helix was transformed into a β-turn, β-sheet, and random coil, causing the HSA structure to loosen. By providing new insights into the mechanism of binding between isoflucypram and human serum albumin, our study has important implications for assessing the potential toxicity risks associated with isoflucypram exposure.

Abstract
The work is focused on anticancer properties of dipicolinate (dipic)-based vanadium(IV) complexes [VO(dipic)(N∩N)] bearing different diimines (2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine, 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole, 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, 1,10-phenanthroline, and 2,2'-bipyridine), as well as differently 4,7-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines. The antiproliferative effect of V(IV) systems was analyzed in different tumors (A2780, HCT116, and HCT116-DoxR) and normal (primary human dermal fibroblasts) cell lines, revealing a high cytotoxic effect of [VO(dipic)(N∩N)] with 4,7-dimethoxy-phen (5), 4,7-diphenyl-phen (6), and 1,10-phenanthroline (8) against HCT116-DoxR cells. The cytotoxicity differences between these complexes can be correlated with their different internalization by HCT116-DoxR cells. Worthy of note, these three complexes were found to (i) induce cell death through apoptosis and autophagy pathways, namely, through ROS production; (ii) not to be cytostatic; (iii) to interact with the BSA protein; (iv) do not promote tumor cell migration or a pro-angiogenic capability; (v) show a slight in vivo anti-angiogenic capability, and (vi) do not show in vivo toxicity in a chicken embryo.

Abstract
To develop novel α-glucosidase inhibitors, a series of chromone-based phenylhydrazone and benzoylhydrazone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated their inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase. The target compounds were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectra. Some of the compounds showed a varying degree of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 6.59 ± 0.09 to 158.55 ± 0.87 μM. Among them, compound 5c (IC50 = 6.59 ± 0.09 μM) was the most potent inhibitor by comparison with positive control acarbose (IC50 = 685.11 ± 7.46 μM). Enzyme kinetic, fluorescence analysis, circular dichroism spectra, and molecular docking techniques were employed to explain the underlying molecular mechanisms of 5c inhibition on α-glucosidase. In vivo sucrose-loading test showed that 5c could suppress the rise of blood glucose levels after loading sucrose in normal Kunming mice. The cytotoxicity assay indicated that 5c exhibited low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is associated with most traumatic or pathological bone defects, and seriously affects the effect of implantation. The construction of antioxidative and osteogenic coatings is of great significance to accelerate the bone regeneration of implants. In this study, baicalein (BAI), a nature flavonoid drug, was loaded in bovine serum albumin (BSA) by desolvent method to prepare BAI-BSA composite protein, and tannic acid (TA)/BAI-BSA coatings were further built via layer by layer self-assembly technology. BAI-BSA possesses good biocompatibility that showed no cytotoxicity to osteoblasts and erythrocytes, and helps to enhance the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and promote the formation of osteogenic mineralized calcium nodules. After assembled with TA, BAI-BSA coating significantly promoted cell adhesion and in vitro osteogenic mineralization of MC3T3-E1. Moreover, BAI drug loading improved the antioxidative function of BSA coatings effectively. The scavenging rates of (TA/BAI-BSA-10)4 for ABTS+• and DPPH• free radicals were 69.6 ± 16.1 % and 53.4 ± 2.4 %, respectively. At cellular level, the TA/BAI-BSA coating effectively inhibited the impact of oxidative stress on the oxidative damage of osteoblasts. The drug-loaded protein coatings possess both great antioxidative and osteogenic functions, which have important potential in the field of bone repair.

Abstract
In this work, a stability study of dispersions of graphene oxide and graphene oxide functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the presence of bovine serum albumin is carried out. First, a structural characterization of these nanomaterials is performed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, comparing the starting nanomaterials with the nanomaterials in contact with the biological material, i.e., bovine fetal serum. The different experiments were performed at different concentrations of nanomaterial (0.125-0.5 mg/mL) and BSA (0.01-0.04 mg/mL), at different incubation times (5-360 min), with and without PEG, and at different temperatures (25-40 °C). The SEM results show that BSA is adsorbed on the surface of the graphene oxide nanomaterial. Using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the characteristic absorption peaks of BSA are observed at 210 and 280 nm, corroborating that the protein has been adsorbed. When the time increases, the BSA protein can be detached from the nanomaterial due to a desorption process. The stability of the dispersions is reached at a pH between 7 and 9. The dispersions behave like a Newtonian fluid with viscosity values between 1.1 and 1.5 mPa·s at a temperature range of 25 to 40 °C. The viscosity values decrease as the temperature increases.

Interaction of Ibuprofen with Partially Unfolded Bovine Serum Albumin in the Presence of Ionic Micelles and Oligosaccharides at Different λ ex and pH: A Spectroscopic Analysis.

Abstract
The interaction between the plasma protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the drug ibuprofen (IBU) has been investigated at three different pH values (7.4, 6.5, and 8.0) in the presence of oligosaccharides and surfactants. The interaction analysis of BSA with oligosaccharides and surfactants has also been studied in the absence of the drug ibuprofen. The results obtained give convenient and efficient access to understand the mechanism of binding of ibuprofen to BSA, and the major forces involved are found to be hydrophobic forces, hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions. In addition to that, the formation of inclusion complexes of ibuprofen with oligosaccharides (β-CD and 2-HP-β-CD) has been observed, which has depicted that due to the hydrophobic nature of ibuprofen, it becomes more soluble in the presence of oligosaccharides, but due to the larger size of the inclusion complexes, these could not be able to access the hydrophobic pocket of BSA where tryptophan-212 (Trp-212) resides. The binding interaction between BSA and ibuprofen is observed in the presence of surfactants (SDS and CTAB), which partially unfold the protein. Non-radiative fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from Trp and Tyr residues of BSA in the presence of an anionic surfactant SDS to ibuprofen has depicted that there is a possibility of drug binding even in the partially unfolded state of BSA protein. Furthermore, the distance between the protein and the drug has been calculated from the FRET efficiency, which gives a comprehensive overview of ibuprofen binding to BSA even in its partially denatured state. The hydrophobic drug binding to the partially unfolded serum albumin protein (BSA) supports the "necklace and bead structures" model and opens up a new direction of drug loading and delivery system, which will have critical therapeutic applications in the efficient delivery of pharmacologically prominent drugs.

Abstract
![]()
A dual catalyst system
based on ligand exchange of two diphosphine
ligands possessing different properties in a copper complex has been
devised to merge metal- and photocatalytic activation modes. This
strategy has been applied to the formal anti-hydroboration of activated
internal alkynes via a tandem sequence in which Cu/Xantphos catalyzes
the B2pin2-syn-hydroboration
of the alkyne whereas Cu/BINAP serves as a photocatalyst for visible
light-mediated isomerization of the resulting alkenyl boronic ester.
Photochemical studies by means of UV–vis absorption, steady-state
and time-resolved fluorescence, and transient absorption spectroscopy
have allowed characterizing the photoactive Cu/BINAP species in the
isomerization reaction and its interaction with the intermediate syn-alkenyl boronic ester through energy transfer from the
triplet excited state of the copper catalyst. In addition, mechanistic
studies shed light into catalyst speciation and the interplay between
the two catalytic cycles as critical success factors.

Abstract
Toxicity is one of the most important factors limiting the success of new drug development. In this paper, we built a fast and convenient new method (Carrier protein binding information-toxicity relationship, CPBITR) for predicting drug acute toxicity based on the perspective of binding information with carrier protein. First, we studied the binding information between carbamate pesticides and human serum albumin (HSA) through various spectroscopic methods and molecular docking. Then a total of 16 models were established to clarify the relationship between binding information with HSA and drug toxicity. The results showed that the binding information was related to toxicity. Finally we obtained the effective toxicity prediction model for carbamate pesticides. And the "Platform for Predicting Drug Toxicity Based on the Information of Binding with Carrier Protein" was established with the Back-propagation neural network model. We proposed and proved that it was feasible to predict drug toxicity from this new perspective: binding with carrier protein. According to this new perspective, toxicity prediction model of other drugs can also be established. This new method has the advantages of convenience and fast, and can be used to screen out low-toxic drugs quickly in the early stage. It is helpful for drug research and development.

Abstract
This work aimed to develop a simple and low-cost method to obtain human serum albumin (HSA) and its consequent application for in vitro drug interaction assays. The HSA was purified by classic principles of plasma precipitation and thermocoagulation, using a multiple-stage fractionation. The quality of the final product was assessed by electrophoresis, protein dosage by the Lowry method and the pharmacopeial thermal stability. At the end, an isotonic solution of HSA with a total protein concentration of 2.7 mg·mL-1 was obtained, which was visualized as a single band corresponding to the molecular weight of 66 kDa. After the thermal stability test, there was no indication of turbidity or color change of the solution. Finally, the HSA was useful for interaction assays with indole-thiazole and indole-thiazolidinone derivatives through UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies, as well as by docking molecular analysis. Derivatives quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA, disrupted the tryptophan residues microenvironment, and probably bind at Sudlow's site I. Therefore, the simplified methodology developed in this work proved to be effective in obtaining HSA that can be applied to research goals including drug interaction assays.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization and biological screening of new chromone Schiff bases derived from the condensation of three 6-substituted-3-formyl-chromones with pyridoxal (HL1-3) and its Cu(II) complexes [Cu(L1-3)Cl], 1-3. For the 6-methyl derivative, HL2, the VIVO-complex [VO(L2)Cl] (5), as well as ternary Cu and VIVO complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), [Cu(L2)(phen)Cl] (4) and [VO(L2)(phen)Cl] (6), were also prepared and evaluated. Their stability in aqueous medium and radical scavenging activity toward DPPH are screened, with [Cu(L2)(phen)Cl] (4) showing hydrolytic stability and [VO(L2)(phen)Cl] (6) high radical scavenging activity. Spectroscopic studies establish bovine serum albumin (BSA), a model for HSA, as a potential reversible carrier of [Cu(L2)(phen)Cl] in blood with KBC ≈ 105 M-1. The cytotoxic activity of a group of compounds is evaluated against a panel of human cancer cell lines of different origin (ovary, cervix, brain and breast) and compared to normal cells. Our results indicate that Cu complexes are more cytotoxic than the ligands but not selective towards cancer cells. The most potent complexes (4 and 6) are further evaluated for their apoptotic potential, induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and genotoxicity. Both complexes efficiently triggered cell death through apoptosis as evaluated by DNA morphology and TUNEL assay, increased ROS formation as determined by DCFDA (2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate) analysis, and induced genotoxic damage as visualized via COMET assay in all cancer cells under study. Therefore, 4 and 6 may be potential precursor anticancer molecules, yet they need to be targeted toward cancer cells.

Abstract
Re(I) complexes have potential in biomedical sciences as imaging agents, diagnostics and therapeutics. Thus, it is crucial to understand how Re(I) complexes interact with carrier proteins, like serum albumins. Here, two neutral Re(I) complexes were used (fac-[Re(CO)3 (1,10-phenanthroline)L], in which L is either 4-cyanophenyltetrazolate (1) or 4-methoxycarbonylphenyltetrazole ester (2), to study the interactions with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Spectroscopic measurements, calculations of thermodynamic and Förster resonance energy transfer parameters, as well as molecular modelling, were performed to study differential binding between BSA and complex 1 and 2. Induced-fit docking combined with quantum-polarised ligand docking were employed in what is believed to be a first for a Re(I) complex as a ligand for BSA. Our findings provide a basis for other molecular interaction studies and suggest that subtle functional group alterations at the terminal region of the Re(I) complex have a significant impact on the ability of this class of compounds to interact with BSA.

Abstract
Inflammatory cells orchestrate tumor niche for the proliferating neoplastic cells, leading to neoangiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. Emergence of severe side effects, multiple drug resistance and associated high cost has rendered conventional chemotherapy less effectual. The aim was to develop a multipurpose, less toxic, more potent and cheaper, oral non-conventional anticancer therapeutic. Cyclooxygenase associated with tumor niche inflammation and proliferative neoplastic cells were targeted synergistically, through anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects of model drug, diclofenac sodium and fluorescent silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), respectively. Drug entrapped AgNPs were surface modified with PVA (for controlling particle size, preferred cellular uptake, evading opsonization and improved dispersion). XRD, FTIR, DSC, TGA, LIBS, particle size and surface plasmon resonance analysis confirmed the efficient drug encapsulation and PVA coating with 62% loading efficiency. In-vitro, the formulation exhibited 1st order release kinetics with sustained and maximal release at slightly acidic conditions (pH 4.5) enabling the potential for passive tumor targeting. Also, nanoparticles showed efficient protein denaturation inhibition potential, hemo-compatibility (<0.8%) and potent anti-cancer activity (P < 0.05) against breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). In-vivo, developed nanoparticles improved pharmacokinetics (2.8 fold increased AUC, 6.9 h t1/2, Cmax = 1.6 ± 0.03 μg/ml, Kel = 0.1) and pharmacodynamics manifested by potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic effects (P < 0.05) at 20 fold lower doses. LD50 determination revealed a wide therapeutic window. The study showed promise of synthesized nanomaterials as cheaper, less toxic, hemo-compatible, oral and more potent anti-inflammatory and non-conventional fluorescent anti-cancer agents, vanquishing tumor niche inflammation and repressing proliferation of malignant cells.

Abstract
Interactions between bovine serum albumin and various clays including pure clay minerals and bentonite were studied with the aim to describe the interaction process. The adsorption of albumin on the clays is strongly affected by the behavior of clays in the aquatic environment (hydrolysis and release of cations). A sufficient amount of albumin was adsorbed on the acid-activated montmorillonite K10 (0.067 mg mg-1) and on the illite-smectite (0.086 mg mg-1). These clay minerals do not strongly affect the sorption solution parameters such as pH value and content of cations. Practically no adsorption was observed on the bentonite and vermiculite. Bentonite and vermiculite are subject to stronger interactions with water which cause the increase of pH value of the sorption solution and release of cations to the solution and thus they cause conformational changes of albumin, which was confirmed by circular dichroism measurements. Obtained results were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis as well. Interaction of studied materials with bovine serum albumin causes the reduction of particle size in the case of all studied clays except vermiculite. Albumin probably attacks the clay structure during the adsorption, which causes the decrease of particle size. The presented work contributes to the knowledge about interaction of bovine serum albumin with clays in the field of influence of physico-chemical behaviour of clays in the solution on the interaction with albumin.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively studied for its potential biomedical applications. However, its potential risk associated with the interactions of GO in a biological system hampers its biomedical applications. Therefore, there is an urgent need to enhance the biocompatibility of GO. In the present study, we decorated the surface of GO with bovine serum albumin (GO-BSA) to mitigate the in vivo toxic properties of GO. An in vivo model Caenorhabditis elegans has been used to study the potential protective effect of BSA decoration in mitigating GO induced toxicity. The BSA decoration on the surface of GO prevents the acute and prolonged toxicity induced by GO in primary and secondary organs by maintaining normal intestinal permeability, defecation behavior, development, and reproduction. Notably, GO-BSA treatment at 0.5-100 mg L-1 does not affect the intracellular redox status and lifespan of C. elegans. Reporter gene expression analysis revealed that exposure to GO-BSA (100 mg L-1) did not significantly influence the nuclear accumulation and expression patterns of DAF-16/FOXO and SKN-1/Nrf2 transcription factors and their downstream target genes sod-3, hsp-16.2, ctl-1,2,3, gcs-1, and gst-4 when compared to exposure to pristine GO. Also, quantitative real-time PCR results showed that GO-BSA did not alter the expression of genes involved in regulating DNA damage checkpoints (cep-1, hus-1 and egl-1) and core signaling pathways of apoptosis (ced-4, ced-3 and ced-9), in contrast to GO treatment. All these findings will have an impact on the future development of safer nanomaterial formulations of graphene and graphene-based materials for environmental and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics is an emerging field that brings together nanoscale-engineered materials with biological systems providing a combination of therapeutic and diagnostic strategies. However, current theranostic nanoplatforms have serious limitations, mainly due to a mismatch between the physical properties of the selected nanomaterials and their functionalization ease, loading ability, or overall compatibility with bioactive molecules. Herein, a nanotheranostic system is proposed based on nanocompartment clusters composed of two different polymersomes linked together by DNA. Careful design and procedure optimization result in clusters segregating the therapeutic enzyme human Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) and fluorescent probes for the detection unit in distinct but colocalized nanocompartments. The diagnostic compartment provides a twofold function: trackability via dye loading as the imaging component and the ability to attach the cluster construct to the surface of cells. The therapeutic compartment, loaded with active DDC, triggers the cellular expression of a secreted reporter enzyme via production of dopamine and activation of dopaminergic receptors implicated in atherosclerosis. This two-compartment nanotheranostic platform is expected to provide the basis of a new treatment strategy for atherosclerosis, to expand versatility and diversify the types of utilizable active molecules, and thus by extension expand the breadth of attainable applications.

Abstract
Since Graphene discovery, their associated derivate nanomaterials, Graphene Oxide (GO) and reduced-GO were in the forefront of continuous developments in bio-nano-technology due to unique physical-chemical properties. Although GO nano-colloids (GON) were proposed as drug release matrix for targeting cancer cells, there is still a concern regarding its cytotoxicity issues. In this study, we report on the fabrication of functional GON bio-coatings by Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) to be used as drug carriers for targeting melanoma cells. We first performed a thorough in vitro cytotoxicity assay for comparison between GON and protein functionalized GON coatings. As functionalization protein, Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was non-covalently conjugated to GO surface. Safe concentration windows were identified in cytotoxicity tests by live/dead staining and MTS assays for five different human melanoma cell lines as well as for non-transformed melanocytes and human dermal fibroblasts. Hybrid GON-BSA nano-scaled thin coatings incorporating Dabrafenib (DAB) and Trichostatin A (TSA) inhibitors for cells bearing BRAFV600E pathway activating mutation were assembled on solid substrates by MAPLE technique. We further demonstrated the successful immobilization for each drug-containing GON-BSA assembling systems by evaluating cellular BRAF activity inhibition and histone deacetylases activity blocking, respectively. DAB activity was proven by the decreased ERK phosphorylation in primary melanoma cells (SKmel28 BRAFV600E cell line), while TSA effect was evidenced by acetylated histones accumulation in cell's nuclei (SKmel23 BRAF WT cell line). In addition, melanoma cells exposed to GON-BSA coatings with compositional gradient of inhibitors evidenced a dose-dependent effect on target activity. Such functional bio-platforms could present high potential for cell-biomaterial interface engineering to be applied in personalized cancer therapy studies.

Abstract
To overcome the traditional issues of protein labeling, we report herein an effective approach for noncovalent conjugation of the biomolecule-derived fluorescent nanodots (biodot) to functional proteins without the addition of chemical linkers for biosensor development. The as-prepared fluorescent biodot-protein conjugates are very stable near physiological pH, exhibiting excellent photostability and thermal stability. More importantly, the native functions of proteins, including drug binding and enzymatic activities, are well-preserved after conjugating with biodots. The optimized protein conjugation strategy is then applied to prepare biodot-glucose oxidase (GOx) fluorescent sensing probes for sweat glucose detection. Results show that the as-prepared sensing probes could achieve better assay performance than those covalent conjugates as demonstrated herein. Specifically, GOx in the noncovalently bound conjugates are able to catalyze the oxidation of glucose effectively, which generates hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. In the presence of Fe2+, Fenton reaction takes place to produce hydroxyl radicals and Fe3+, leading to significant fluorescence quenching of biodots on the conjugates. This simple one-step enzymatic assay in a single probe achieves a wide linear range of 25-1000 μM (R2 = 0.99) with a low detection limit of 25 μM. Furthermore, negligible interference is observed in the complex artificial sweat sample for accurate glucose quantification, achieving an excellent recovery rate of 100.5 ± 2.2%. This work provides a facile conjugation method that is generally applicable to a wide range of proteins, which will help to accelerate future development of multifunctional fluorescent probes to provide optical signals with unique protein functions (e.g., enzymatic, recognition, etc.) for biomedical sensing and imaging.

Albumin Nano-Encapsulation of Piceatannol Enhances Its Anticancer Potential in Colon Cancer Via Downregulation of Nuclear p65 and HIF-1α. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12010113.

Abstract
Piceatannol (PIC) is known to have anticancer activity, which has been attributed to its ability to block the proliferation of cancer cells via suppression of the NF-kB signaling pathway. However, its effect on hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is not well known in cancer. In this study, PIC was loaded into bovine serum albumin (BSA) by desolvation method as PIC–BSA nanoparticles (NPs). These PIC–BSA nanoparticles were assessed for in vitro cytotoxicity, migration, invasion, and colony formation studies and levels of p65 and HIF-1α. Our results indicate that PIC–BSA NPs were more effective in downregulating the expression of nuclear p65 and HIF-1α in colon cancer cells as compared to free PIC. We also observed a significant reduction in inflammation induced by chemical colitis in mice by PIC–BSA NPs. Furthermore, a significant reduction in tumor size and number of colon tumors was also observed in the murine model of colitis-associated colorectal cancer, when treated with PIC–BSA NPs as compared to free PIC. The overall results indicate that PIC, when formulated as PIC–BSA NPs, enhances its therapeutic potential. Our work could prompt further research in using natural anticancer agents as nanoparticels with possible human clinical trails. This could lead to the development of a new line of safe and effective therapeutics for cancer patients.

Abstract
Cloxyquin is a potential therapeutic compound possessing various bioactivities, especially antibacterial, antifungal, cardioprotective, and pain relief activities. Herein, the interaction mechanism between cloxyquin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been elucidated in order to fulfill its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic gaps essential for further development as a therapeutic drug. Multi-spectroscopic and biophysical model analysis suggested that cloxyquin interacts with BSA via a static process by ground-state complex formation. Its binding behavior emerged as a biphasic fashion with a moderate binding constant at the level of 104 M-1. Thermodynamic analysis and molecular docking simulation concurrently revealed that hydrophobic interaction is a major driving force for BSA-cloxyquin complexation. Binding of cloxyquin tends to slightly enlarge the monomeric size of BSA without a significant increase of aggregate fraction. Cloxyquin preferentially binds into the fatty acid binding site 5 (FA5) of the BSA via hydrophobic interaction amongst its quinoline scaffold and Phe550, Leu531, and Leu574 residues of BSA. The quinoline ring and hydroxyl moiety of cloxyquin also form the π-π interaction and the hydrogen bond with Phe506. Our data indicate a potential function of serum albumin as a carrier of cloxyquin in blood circulation.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) as a chemical raw material, is widely used in the manufacturing process of daily necessities. It was reported that BPA could induce oxidative stress, and catalase (CAT) can protect the body from oxidative stress. In this paper, the effect of BPA on CAT was carried out in vitro and in vivo. Firstly, we studied the effects of BPA on oxidative stress, cell viability and CAT activity in human hepatocytes, and the results of vitro experiments show that the survival rate of hepatocytes significant decreased along with the increase of BPA concentration. And when the BPA concentration was 100 μM, the hepatocyte survival decreased by 13.2%, ROS levels in the cells increased by 85%. However, the activity of intracellular CAT increased with the increasing concentration of BPA in 24 h. The results of vivo experiments showed that the activity of CAT in the high-dose group decreased by 29.1% compared with the control group. The long-term effects of BPA on rats reduced the CAT activity in liver, which reduced the resistance to oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the interaction mechanism between BPA and CAT at the molecule level was performed via multiple spectra methods and molecular docking, and the results illustrated that the structural change of CAT is mainly due to the strong combination of BPA with the residues of Trp185. In addition, the interaction mechanism between BPA and CAT were hydrophobic and electrostatic effect. This study provided experimental evidence for better understanding the toxicity of BPA.

Abstract
In the context of there being a limited number of clinically approved drugs for the treatment of Candida sp.-based infections, along with the rapid development of resistance to the existing antifungals, two novel series of 4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole and 2-hydrazinyl-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives were synthesized and tested in vitro for their anti-Candida potential. Two compounds (7a and 7e) showed promising inhibitory activity against the pathogenic C. albicans strain, exhibiting substantially lower MIC values (7.81 μg/mL and 3.9 μg/mL, respectively) as compared with the reference drug fluconazole (15.62 μg/mL). Their anti-Candida activity is also supported by molecular docking studies, using the fungal lanosterol C14α-demethylase as the target enzyme. The interaction of the most biologically active synthesized compound 7e with bovine serum albumin was investigated through fluorescence spectroscopy, and the obtained data suggested that this molecule might efficiently bind carrier proteins in vivo in order to reach the target site.

Abstract
The activities of ellagic acid in inhibiting mushroom tyrosinase and cell proliferation were evaluated in this research. The results of enzyme kinetics indicated that ellagic acid could effectively inhibit tyrosinase activity. The value of the semi-inhibitory rate (IC50 ) was 0.2 ± 0.05 mM. Ellagic acid inhibited tyrosinase activity in a reversible manner and was a mixed tyrosinase inhibitor. Furthermore, ellagic acid had a good inhibitory effect on the proliferation of mouse melanoma B16 cells and could induce apoptosis. The results acquired from fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that the interaction of ellagic acid with tyrosinase depended on hydrogen bond and electrostatic force. In addition, computational docking showed that ellagic acid interacted with amino acid residues of tyrosinase (Asn19 and Lys372) by hydrogen bond and produced electrostatic interaction with amino residue Lys18. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In the present research, the antityrosinase mechanism of ellagic acid and its effect on mouse melanoma cells were investigated. This study suggested that ellagic acid had a strong inhibitory activity against tyrosinase and cell proliferation,which laid an experimental foundation for the development of new drugs and whitening products. The combined multispectral methods used in this research can be applied to the screening of other antityrosinase inhibitors, further promoting the development and utilization of tyrosinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Capecitabine as a prodrug of 5-Fluorouracil plays an important role in the treatment of breast and gastrointestinal cancers. Herein, in view of the importance of this drug in chemotherapy, interaction mechanism between Capecitabine (CAP) and human serum albumin (HSA) as a major transport protein in the blood circulatory system has been investigated by using a combination of spectroscopic and molecular modeling methods. The fluorescence spectroscopic results revealed that capecitabine could effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching mechanism. Evaluation of the thermodynamic parameters suggested that the binding process was spontaneous while hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces played a major role in this interaction. The value of the binding constant (Kb = 1.820 × 104) suggested a moderate binding affinity between CAP and HSA which implies its easy diffusion from the circulatory system to the target tissue. The efficiency of energy transfer and the binding distance between the donor (HSA) and acceptor (CAP) were determined according to forster theory of nonradiation energy transfer as 0.410 and 4.135 nm, respectively. Furthermore, UV-Vis spectroscopic results confirmed that the interaction was occurred between HSA and CAP and caused conformational and micro-environmental changes of HSA during the interaction. Multivariate curve resolution-alternating least square (MCR-ALS) methodology as an efficient chemometric tool was used to separate the overlapped spectra of the species. The MCR-ALS result was exploited to estimate the stoichiometry of interaction and to provide concentration and structural information about HSA-CAP interactions. Molecular docking studies suggested that CAP binds mainly to the subdomain IIA of HSA, which were compatible with those obtained by experimental data. Finally, molecular dynamics simulation (MD) was performed on the best docked complex by considering the permanence and flexibility of HSA-CAP complex in the binding site. MD result showed that CAP could steadily bind to HSA in the site I based on the formation of hydrogen bond and π-π stacking interaction in addition to hydrophobic force.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many in vivo procedures to repair chondral defects use ultraviolet (UV)-photoinitiated in situ polymerization within the cartilage matrix. Chemical species that absorb UV light might reduce the effectiveness of these procedures by acting as light absorption barriers. This study evaluated whether any of the individual native biochemical components in cartilage and synovial fluid interfered with the absorption of light by common scaffolding photosensitizers. MATERIALS UV-visible spectroscopy was performed on each major component of cartilage in solution, on bovine synovial fluid, and on four photosensitizers, riboflavin, Irgacure 2959, quinine, and riboflavin-5'-phosphate. Molar extinction and absorption coefficients were calculated at wavelengths of maximum absorbance and 365 nm. Intact articular cartilage was also examined. RESULTS The individual major biochemical components of cartilage, Irgacure 2959, and quinine did not exhibit a significant absorption at 365 nm. Riboflavin and riboflavin-5'-phosphate were more effectual light absorbers at 365 nm, compared with the individual native species. Intact cartilage absorbed a significantly greater amount of UV light in comparison with the native species. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that none of the individual native species in cartilage will interfere with the absorption of UV light at 365 nm by these commonly used photoinitiators. Intact cartilage slices exhibited significant light absorption at 365 nm, while also having distinct absorbance peaks at wavelengths less than 300 nm. Determining the UV absorptive properties of the biomolecules native to articular cartilage and synovial fluid will aid in optimizing scaffolding procedures to ensure sufficient scaffold polymerization at a minimum UV intensity.

Abstract
Rational design of prodrugs for efficient albumin binding shows distinct advantages in drug delivery in terms of drug availability, systemic circulation, and potential targeting effect. And fatty acids are good candidates due to their high affinity to albumin. However, how the alkyl chain length of fatty acids affects the binding dynamics between prodrugs and albumin, despite its importance, is still unclear. In the present study, three prodrugs of didanosine (DDI) and fatty acids were designed and synthesized to evaluate the effect of the alkyl chain length on prodrug-albumin binding process, including capric acid-didanosine (CA-DDI), myristic acid-didanosine (MA-DDI), and stearic acid-didanosine (SA-DDI). The binding dynamics between these prodrugs with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by fluorometry, circular dichroism (CD), UV analysis, and molecular docking. It turned out that DDI itself showed poor binding affinity to BSA. In contrast, CA-DDI, MA-DDI, and SA-DDI demonstrated significantly improved binding affinity. Interestingly, the binding affinity between DDI prodrugs and BSA was correlated with the alkyl chain length of fatty acids, and the binding constant significantly increased with the extension of alkyl chain length (KCA-DDI = 5.86 × 103 M-1, KMA-DDI = 8.57 × 103 M-1, and KSA-DDI = 11.42 × 103 M-1 at 298 K).

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein found in human blood and is extensively employed in clinical applications such as hypovolemic shock treatment. Also, there has been a lot of attempt to use HSA as a carrier to deliver various drugs to their specific targets. Thus, clarify of structure, dynamics, functions, and features of HSA-drug complexes play an important role from the viewpoint of pharmaceutical and/or biochemical sciences. In this study, the interaction of letrozole, as a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, with HSA has been studied by combining different techniques such as UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and computational methods. The binding of letrozole quenches the serum albumin fluorescence intensities. A clear decrease in fluorescence intensities of letrozole-HSA complex with the increase in temperature showed the static mode of fluorescence quenching. The results of Stern-Volmer procedure analysis showed that letrozole is bound only to a site from the HSA. The results of thermodynamic analysis showed that reaction between HSA and letrozole is spontaneous and exothermic. Furthermore, by monitoring the intrinsic fluorescence and using site markers competitive measurement, the binding of letrozole in the neighborhood of Sudlow's site I of HSA has been proved. Finally, computational methods substantiated the experimental findings and it was revealed that letrozole was bound to Arg-209, Trp-214, Ala-350, and Gly-238 residues of subdomain IIA and IIIA of HSA, respectively.

Abstract
Self-assembling peptide hydrogels offer a novel 3-dimensional platform for many applications in cell culture and tissue engineering but are not compatible with current methods of RNA isolation; owing to interactions between RNA and the biomaterial. This study investigates the use of two techniques based on two different basic extraction principles: solution-based extraction and direct solid-state binding of RNA respectively, to extract RNA from cells encapsulated in four β-sheet forming self-assembling peptide hydrogels with varying net positive charge. RNA-peptide fibril interactions, rather than RNA-peptide molecular complexing, were found to interfere with the extraction process resulting in low yields. A column-based approach relying on RNA-specific binding was shown to be more suited to extracting RNA with higher purity from these peptide hydrogels owing to its reliance on strong specific RNA binding interactions which compete directly with RNA-peptide fibril interactions. In order to reduce the amount of fibrils present and improve RNA yields a broad spectrum enzyme solution-pronase-was used to partially digest the hydrogels before RNA extraction. This pre-treatment was shown to significantly increase the yield of RNA extracted, allowing downstream RT-qPCR to be performed.
