Abstract
The binding of drugs to serum proteins is governed by weak non-covalent forces. In this study, the nature and magnitude of the interactions between piroxicam (PRX) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was assessed using spectroscopic, calorimetric and computational molecular methods. The fluorescence data revealed an atypical behavior during PRX and BSA interaction. The quenching process of tryptophan (Trp) by PRX is a dual one (approximately equal static and dynamic quenched components). The FRET results indicate that a non-radiative transfer of energy occurred. The association constant and the number of binding sites indicate moderate PRX and BSA binding. The competitive binding study indicates that PRX is bound to site I from the hydrophobic pocket of subdomain IIA of BSA. The synchronous spectra showed that the microenvironment around the BSA fluorophores and protein conformation do not change considerably. The Trp lifetimes revealed that PRX mainly quenches the fluorescence of Trp-213 situated in the hydrophobic domain. The CD and DSC investigation show that addition of PRX stabilizes the protein structure. ITC results revealed that BSA-PRX binding involves a combination of electrostatic, hydrophobic and hydrogen interactions. The analysis of the computational data is consistent with the experimental results. This thorough investigation of the PRX-BSA binding may provide support for other studies concerning moderate affinity drugs with serum protein.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
It is well known that various physiological factors such as pH, endogenous substances or post-translational modifications can affect the conformational state of human serum albumin (HSA). In a previous study, we reported that both pH- and long chain fatty acid-induced conformational changes can alter the interactive binding of ligands to the two principal binding sites of HSA, namely, site I and site II. In the present study, the effect of metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) caused by ascorbate/oxygen/trace metals on HSA structure and the interactive binding between dansyl-L-asparagine (DNSA; a site I ligand) and ibuprofen (a site II ligand) at pH 6.5 was investigated. MCO was accompanied by a time-dependent increase in carbonyl content in HSA, suggesting that the HSA was being oxidized. In addition, The MCO of HSA was accompanied by a change in net charge to a more negative charge and a decrease in thermal stability. SDS-PAGE patterns and α-helical contents of the oxidized HSAs were similar to those of native HSA, indicating that the HSA had not been extensively structurally modified by MCO. MCO also caused a selective decrease in ibuprofen binding. In spite of the changes in the HSA structure and ligand that bind to site II, no change in the interactive binding between DNSA and ibuprofen was observed. These data indicated that amino acid residues in site II are preferentially oxidized by MCO, whereas the spatial relationship between sites I and II (e.g. the distance between sites), the flexibility or space of each binding site are not altered. The present findings provide insights into the structural characteristics of oxidized HSA, and drug binding and drug-drug interactions on oxidized HSA.

Abstract
A wide variety of drugs bind to human serum albumin (HSA) at its two principal sites, namely site I and site II. A number of reports indicate that drug binding to these two binding sites are not completely independent, and that interactions between ligands of these two discrete sites can play a role. In this study, the effect of the binding of long-chain fatty acids on the interactive binding between dansyl-L-asparagine (DNSA; site I ligand) and ibuprofen (site II ligand) at pH6.5 was examined. Binding experiments showed that the binding of sodium oleate (Ole) to HSA induces conformational changes in the molecule, which, in turn, changes the individual binding of DNSA and ibuprofen, as well as the mode of interaction between these two ligands from a ‘competitive-like’ allosteric interaction in the case of the defatted HSA conformer to a ‘nearly independent’ binding in the case of non-defatted HSA conformer. Circular dichroism measurements indicated that ibuprofen and Ole are likely to modify the spatial orientation of DNSA at its binding site. Docking simulations suggest that the long-distance electric repulsion between DNSA and ibuprofen on defatted HSA contributes to a ‘competitive-like’ allosteric interaction, whereas extending the distance between ligands and/or increasing the flexibility or size of the DNSA binding site in fatted HSA evokes a change in the interaction mode to ‘nearly independent’ binding. The present findings provide further insights into the structural dynamics of HSA upon the binding of fatty acids, and its effects on drug binding and drug-drug interactions that occur on HSA.

A fluorescence-based high throughput assay for the determination of small molecule-human serum albumin protein binding. Anal Bioanal Chem 2014; 406:1867-75.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the development of a fluorescence-based high throughput assay to determine the small molecule binding towards human serum albumin (HSA). This innovative competition assay is based on the use of a novel fluorescent small molecule Red Mega 500 with unique spectroscopic and binding properties. The commercially available probe displays a large fluorescence intensity difference between the protein-bound and protein-unbound state. The competition of small molecules for HSA binding in the presence of probe resulted in low fluorescence intensities. The assay was evaluated with the library of pharmacological active compounds (LOPAC) small molecule library of 1,280 compounds identifying known high protein binders. The small molecule competition of HSA-Red Mega 500 binding was saturable at higher compound concentrations and exhibited IC50 values between 3 and 24 μM. The compound affinity toward HSA was confirmed by isothermal titration calorimetry indicating that the new protein binding assay is a valid high throughput assay to determine plasma protein binding.

Abstract
Induced circular dichroism (ICD), or induced chirality, is a phenomenon caused by the fixation of an achiral substance inside a chiral microenvironment, such as the hydrophobic cavities in proteins. Dansylglycine belongs to a class of dansylated amino acids, which are largely used as fluorescent probes for the characterization of the binding sites in albumin. Here, we investigated the ICD in dansylglycine provoked by its binding to human serum albumin (HSA). We found that the complexation of HSA with dansylglycine resulted in the appearance of an ICD band centred at 346 nm. Using this ICD signal and site-specific ligands of HSA, we confirmed that dansylglycine is a site II ligand. The intensity of the ICD signal was dependent on the temperature and revealed that the complexation between the protein and the ligand was reversible. The induced chirality of dansylglycine was susceptive to the alteration caused by the oxidation of the protein. A comparison was made between hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypobromous acid (HOBr), and revealed that site II in the protein is more susceptible to alteration provoked by the latter oxidant. These findings suggest the relevance of the aromatic amino acids in the site II, since HOBr is a more efficient oxidant of these residues in proteins than HOCl. The three-dimensional structure of HSA is pH-dependent, and different conformations have been characterised. We found that HSA in its basic form at pH 9.0, which causes the protein to be less rigid, lost the capacity to bind dansylglycine. At pH 3.5, HSA retained almost all of its capacity for binding to dansylglycine. Since the structure of HSA at pH 3.5 is expanded, separating the domain IIIA from the rest of the molecule, we concluded that this separation did not alter its binding capacity to dansylglycine.

Abstract
In this feature article, we discuss recent advances in studying ultrafast dynamic and structural aspects of host-guest interactions. Steady-state and time-resolved techniques exploring events from the femto- to nanosecond regime were used to examine the ultrafast photodynamics and subsequent events in selected nanostructures of the formed complexes. These consist of aromatic systems, biologically relevant molecules, and drugs trapped within cyclodextrins (CD) and human serum albumin (HSA) protein pockets. We examine the effects exerted by these chemical and biological cavitands on internal twisting motions, proton transfer and charge transfer, and cis-trans isomerization reactions that may occur in the confined molecular systems. In addition, the influence of a restricting environment on the interaction of guest molecules with biological water is considered. The dynamic details of the complexes (diffusion, early interactions, formation, stability, internal guest diffusion, and conformational changes) and the excited-state relaxation pathways, rate constants of the involved processes, and changes in the electronic distribution within encapsulated guests gave clues to elucidate their photobehavior and are relevant to the photostability and delivery of drugs when using nanocarriers.

Abstract
We report studies of the interaction between a proton-transfer dye (1'-hydroxy,2'-acetonaphthone, HAN), with the human serum albumin (HSA) protein and a beta-cyclodextrin derivative (DM-beta-CD) in neutral water solutions. We used steady-state and picosecond time-resolved emission spectroscopy to follow the structural changes of HAN due to the hydrophobicity and confinement effect of these nanocavities. Upon encapsulation, the fluorescence intensity of the 1:1 inclusion complex in both cavities increases, and the emission lifetimes become longer. For the DM-beta-CD complexes, we obtained 430 and 920 ps, whereas for the HSA complexes we obtained 630 ps and 2 ns. Picosecond anisotropy measurements show strong confinement due to protein docking. The rotational time for the CD complex is 660 ps, whereas for the protein complex we find 6 ns. The process of energy transfer from the excited triptophan 214 (Trp214) of HSA to the trapped HAN occurs with high efficiency (71%), and the calculated distance between both chromophores is 17 A. We believe that the results are important for a better understanding of the processes occurring in inclusion complexes such as those in nanopharmacodynamics.

Abstract
We report on steady-state and ps-time-resolved emission studies of piroxicam (1) drug within human serum albumin (HSA) protein in cyclodextrin and in neat solvents. The steady-state results indicate that 1 binds to HSA protein and that two binding sites are involved. The fluorescence decays corresponding to site I in subdomain IIA and to site II in subdomain IIIA have time constants of approximately 60 ps and approximately 360 ps, respectively. The results suggest that the anion forms bind to site I, whereas the zwitterionic ones bind to site II. The energy-transfer process from excited tryptophan to 1 can occur with moderate efficiency (50%). The rotational time of 1 encapsulated by HSA indicates diffusion within the protein. These findings can be used for a better understanding of piroxicam and HSA interactions.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine (1) the extent of levocetirizine binding to human blood cells, plasma and individual plasma proteins; (2) the parameters for levocetirizine binding to individual plasma proteins both at their physiological concentrations and, for human serum albumin (HSA), at a lower saturating concentration; and (3) to simulate levocetirizine distribution in human blood using the information obtained at physiological haematocrit (H) for blood cells and at physiological concentrations for individual plasma proteins. The nature of the main binding sites of HSA, i.e. site I (warfarin) and site II (diazepam), preferentially involved in levocetirizine binding was also investigated. Over the range of therapeutic concentrations and multiples thereof, levocetirizine is extensively bound to blood components, the free fraction remaining constant (6.45%) and the fraction bound to blood cells and to plasma proteins accounting for 27.43 and 66.11%, respectively. The binding of levocetirizine to HSA in the presence of physiological concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) is the main interaction of levocetirizine in blood (50.68% of overall blood binding). This interaction is fatty acid sensitive, with decreasing concentrations of NEFA increasing the amount of bound drug and vice versa. Levocetirizine is also bound to alpha1-acid-glycoprotein and high-density lipoproteins (5.17 and 6.89% of overall blood binding, respectively). The displacement of levocetirizine by diazepam is consistent with the binding of this drug to HSA at site II, as diazepam is a specific marker for this site. The binding of levocetirizine to HSA at site II being characterized by a low association constant, other drugs sharing the same site with high association constants cannot displace levocetirizine except at very high plasma concentrations. In any case, at therapeutic concentrations of levocetirizine and at physiological protein concentrations, the observation that none of the levocetirizine binding proteins is saturated suggests that very little or no variation of the free fraction will occur although a different distribution of its bound forms is possible.

Abstract
Competitive interactions of ochratoxin A (OTA) and several other acidic compounds were utilized to gain insight into the localization of binding sites and the nature of binding interactions between anionic species and human serum albumin (HSA). Depolarization of OTA fluorescence in the presence of a competing anion was used to quantify ligand-protein interactions. The results obtained were rationalized in terms of OTA displacement from its major binding site. Based on their ability to displace OTA, two distinct groups of the anionic ligands were revealed. The first group contained structurally diverse compounds that shared a common binding site in subdomain IIA (Sudlow Site I). The second group consisted of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which showed much lower affinity to Site I than the OTA dianion. The major site for these drugs was located in domain III. Fluorescence spectroscopy measurements of OTA, warfarin (WAR) and naproxen (NAP) complexes with recombinant proteins corresponding to the domains of HSA (D1-D3) revealed binding to all domains but with different affinities. The binding constants for OTA and WAR decreased in the series D2z.Gt;D3>D1. In contrast, NAP showed the most favorable interaction with D3 and comparable affinities to the two remaining domains. The OTA binding constant for D2, 7.9 x 10(5) M(-1), was smaller than the largest constant for HSA by a factor of approximately 7. The binding constant for OTA with D3, 1.1 x 10(5) M(-1), was very close to that of the secondary binding site for HSA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this work was to assess the influence of binding to plasma proteins and to serum on the brain extraction of four antiinflammatory oxicams. METHODS The brain extraction of isoxicam, tenoxicam, meloxicam and piroxicam was investigated in rats using the carotid injection technique. Blood protein binding parameters were determined by equilibrium dialysis using human serum, human serum albumin (HSA) and alpha-l-acid glycoprotein (AAG) solutions at various concentrations. RESULTS All oxicams had low values of brain extraction, between 19% and 39% when dissolved in serum, i.e. under physiological conditions. Brain efflux rate constants calculated from the wash-out curves were the same in the absence or presence of serum. Brain efflux was inversely related to the polarity of the oxicams, such that the higher their H-bonding capacity, the lower their brain efflux. The free dialyzable drug fraction was inversely related to protein concentration. However, rat brain extraction was always higher than expected from in vitro measurements of the dialyzable fraction. CONCLUSIONS Except for piroxicam whose brain extraction was partially decreased in the presence of proteins, the serum unbound and initially bound fractions of oxicams both seem available for transfer into the brain. Modest affinities for AAG rule out any related effect. More surprising is the apparent lack of effect on brain transfer of the high-affinity binding to HSA and serum. The enhanced brain uptake of meloxicam in the presence of AAG could be a result of interactions between this globular protein and the endothelial wall.

Abstract
Binding of (+)- and (-)-isomers and the racemate of sodium 2[6-(4-chlorophenoxy)-hexyl]-oxiran-2-carboxylate dihydrat (etomoxir) to the human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by the gel filtration method. The experimental results are presented graphically using the method of Scatchard. Measurements revealed the following data on the binding: (a) for either of the isomers there are two independent and nonequivalent classes of binding sites on the HSA molecule; (b) the binding constants calculated for both isomers were of the same order of magnitude (K1/n approximately 20 x 10(5) L.mol-1 for the concentration range 3.48-4.0 x 10(-5) mol.L-1, and K2/n approximately 2 x 10(5) L.mol-1 for the concentration range 4.28-10 x 10(-5) mol.L-1, for the high and low affinity binding sites, respectively); (c) statistically significant difference (p < or = 0.05) between the low affinity binding constant estimated for the (+)-isomer K2 = 1.9 +/- 0.1 x 10(5) L.mol-1) compared with the constants evaluated for the (-)-isomer and racemic etomoxir (2.6 +/- 0.1 and 2.9 +/- 0.2 x 10(5) L.mol-1, respectively); and (d) both isomers are bound into a high extent to the HSA molecule (i.e., at a ligand concentration of 3.48 x 10(-5) mol.L-1, the percent of binding was approximately 95% for the compound tested. When plotting the percent binding (% Cb) against the total concentration (Ctot), a statistically significant difference (p < or = 0.05) was obtained between the slope of the straight line for the (+)-isomer and those for other two compounds.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
