Investigation of the binding interaction between estazolam and bovine serum albumin: multi-spectroscopic methods and molecular docking technique.

The binding interaction between a typical angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), ramipril, and a transport protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), was studied in vitro using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic titration, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, three dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism and molecular docking under the imitated physiological conditions (pH=7.4). The experimental results suggested that the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by ramipril thought a static quenching mechanism, indicating that the stable ramipril-BSA complex was formed by the intermolecular interaction. The number of binding sites (n) and binding constant of ramipril-BSA complex were about 1 and 3.50×104M-1 at 298K, respectively, suggesting that there was stronger binding interaction of ramipril with BSA. The thermodynamic parameters together with molecular docking study revealed that both van der Waal's forces and hydrogen bonding interaction dominated the formation of the ramipril-BSA complex and the binding interaction of BSA with ramipril is enthalpy-driven processes due to |ΔH°|>|TΔS°| and ΔG°<0. The spatial distance between ramipril and BSA was calculated to be 3.56nm based on Forster's non-radiative energy transfer theory. The results of the competitive displacement experiments and molecular docking confirmed that ramipril inserted into the subdomain IIA (site I) of BSA, resulting in a slight change in the conformation of BSA but BSA still retained its secondary structure α-helicity.

Evaluation of the binding behavior of olmutinib (HM61713) with model transport protein: Insights from spectroscopic and molecular docking studies

Astilbin (ASN) is a flavonoid compound isolated from the rhizome of Smilax china L. (Smilacaceae). It has many bioactivities, such as selective immunosuppression, antioxidant, anti-hepatic injury, etc., and is widely used in traditional Chinese medical treatments. The interaction of ASN with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied in a physiological buffer (pH = 7.40) using multi-spectroscopic techniques in combination with molecular docking methods. UV-vis absorption measurements proved that a ASN–BSA complex could be formed. Fluorescence data revealed that ASN could strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA in terms of a static quenching procedure. The process of binding was spontaneous and the binding occurred mainly through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (ASN) was calculated to be 4.80 nm based on Forster's non-radiative energy transfer theory. The binding constant (Ka = 7.31 × 104 mol L−1) and the number of binding sites (n ≈ 1) at 298 K suggested that ASN only occupied one site in BSA with high affinity. Moreover, the results of molecular docking indicated that ASN was more likely to be located in site I (sub-domain IIA) of BSA. The results of synchronous fluorescence and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra showed that ASN induced conformational changes of BSA. The findings would be beneficial for research on the transportation, distribution and some important bioactivities of ASN in the human body.

Binding interaction of atorvastatin with bovine serum albumin: Spectroscopic methods and molecular docking

To further understand the mode of action and pharmacokinetics of lisinopril, the binding interaction of lisinopril with bovine serum albumin (BSA) under imitated physiological conditions (pH 7.4) was investigated using fluorescence emission spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), circular dichroism (CD) and molecular docking methods. The results showed that the fluorescence quenching of BSA near 338 nm resulted from the formation of a lisinopril-BSA complex. The number of binding sites (n) for lisinopril binding on subdomain IIIA (site II) of BSA and the binding constant were ~ 1 and 2.04 × 10(4) M(-1), respectively, at 310 K. The binding of lisinopril to BSA induced a slight change in the conformation of BSA, which retained its α-helical structure. However, the binding of lisinopril with BSA was spontaneous and the main interaction forces involved were van der Waal's force and hydrogen bonding interaction as shown by the negative values of ΔG(0), ΔH(0) and ΔS(0) for the binding of lisinopril with BSA. It was concluded from the molecular docking results that the flexibility of lisinopril also played an important role in increasing the stability of the lisinopril-BSA complex.
