Coura CPDM, Fragoso VMDS, Valdez ECN, Paulino ET, Silva D, Cortez CM. Study on the interaction of three classical drugs used in psychiatry in albumin through spectrofluorimetric modeling. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 255:119638. [PMID: 33780894 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2021.119638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Revised: 12/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Comparative study of haloperidol (HPD), biperiden (BPD) and clonazepam (CNZ) interactions with human and bovine serum albumin was performed based on fluorescence quenching analysis. We used mathematical modeling comparing spectrofluorimetric data to obtain information on the possibility of competition among three drugs by sites binding. Results showed that the three drugs studied have high affinity for albumin and suggest the existence of two site classes in HSA for HPD and only one class for BPD and CNZ, in the range of concentrations tested for each drug. Among them, only HPD forms complex with HSA. Comparing normalized quenching plots suggested that the primary sites in HSA and BSA for HPD and CNZ are located at subdomain IB, whereas BPD would bind in the subdomain IIA. Considering the competition for binding sites in HSA, titrations of HPD-HSA complex by BPD and CNZ, as well as the titration of HSA solution containing CNZ titrated by BPD, show that although the three drugs do not compete with each other for binding sites, their interaction with HSA can cause conformational change in the protein, and to increase or decrease the accessibility to binding sites for other drug. This may mean alteration in the free plasma drug concentrations.

Abstract
Pendimethalin (PND) is a widely used herbicide in modern means of agricultural practices. So, its toxic residues exist extensively in the environment and can enter human body. Therefore, the in vitro interaction of PND with human serum albumin (HSA) has been explored by employing various biophysical, molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies as well as enzyme kinetics to unravel its binding mechanism. The binding constant of the PND-HSA complex was about 104 M-1 using Fluorescence quenching spectra. The negative value of Gibbs free energy change (ΔG0 = -32.0 kJ mol-1) indicates this interaction is a spontaneous process. A large negative ΔH0 and positive ΔS0 suggests that hydrophobic interactions and H-bonding are involved in the binding process of PND with HSA. The binding of PND can cause conformational and micro-environmental changes in HSA molecule, as shown by various biophysical and molecular dynamics simulation studies. The site marker competition and molecular docking and simulation experiments affirmed that the binding of PND to HSA occurs at or near site I. Esterase-like activity of HSA exhibited decline in the presence of PND revealed the direct involvement of Lys199 of subdomain IIA (Sudlow's site I) in the binding process.

Abstract
Since the exposure of organophosphate pesticides are known to cause severe health consequences, it is important to understand the molecular interaction of these pesticides metabolites with vital biomolecules, especially with the proteins. Here, considering bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein, we have examined its interaction with two selected organophosphate metabolites, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy) and paraoxon methyl (PM). TCPy and PM are resultant metabolites of two most widely used organophosphate pesticides chlorpyrifos and parathion respectively. 1H NMR line broadening, selective spin-lattice relaxation rate measurements, saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR of both TCPy and PM were carried out in the presence and absence of BSA. The obtained values of the affinity index (A), binding constants (Ka) and thermodynamic parameters indicated strong organophosphates-BSA interaction. Further, fluorescence quenching data on TCPy-BSA and PM-BSA interactions strongly supported the NMR results, besides providing the stoichiometry of these complexes. Molecular docking analysis unraveled viable, strong hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions in TCPy-BSA and PM-BSA complexes. This study also revealed substantial time-dependent changes in the 1H NMR intensity of PM in the presence of BSA, which suggests faster degradation of PM with increasing protein concentration during protein-metabolite interactions. The hydrolysis is attributed to the esterase-like action of BSA. The result provides key insights into the direct interaction of the organophosphate metabolites with a biologically important carrier protein, serum albumin.

Abstract
This paper presents results from a study of albumin from pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus, Holmberg 1887) and the catfish pintado (Pseudoplatystoma corruscans, Spix & Agassiz, 1829), two neotropical fish species inhabitants of Brazilian rivers, comparing their molecular mass and discussing their secondary structures based on spectropolarimetric (circular dychroism) measurements. Genetic controlled specimens were obtained from two fish hatcheries, located in Mococa (pacu) and in São João da Boa Vista (pintado), both in São Paulo State, Brazil. After a period of adaptation in holding tanks, fish blood samples were taken by punctioning their abdominal aorta. Purified albumin was obtained by gel filtration. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was performed for the molecular mass estimation. Circular Dichroism spectra were registered for albumins of the two fish species over the range of 190-250 nm (far-UV), which shown two negative bands at 217 and 208 nm, a positive peak at 196 nm and a crossover at 200 nm. This profile is compatible with proteins that content predominantly alpha-helix structure.

Fish exposure to nano-TiO2 under different experimental conditions: methodological aspects for nanoecotoxicology investigations. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2013; 463-464:647-656.

Abstract
The ecotoxicology of nano-TiO2 has been extensively studied in recent years; however, few toxicological investigations have considered the photocatalytic properties of the substance, which can increase its toxicity to aquatic biota. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects on fish exposed to different nano-TiO2 concentrations and illumination conditions. The interaction of these variables was investigated by observing the survival of the organisms, together with biomarkers of biochemical and genetic alterations. Fish (Piaractus mesopotamicus) were exposed for 96 h to 0, 1, 10, and 100 mg/L of nano-TiO2, under visible light, and visible light with ultraviolet (UV) light (22.47 J/cm(2)/h). The following biomarkers of oxidative stress were monitored in the liver: concentrations of lipid hydroperoxide and carbonylated protein, and specific activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione S-transferase. Other biomarkers of physiological function were also studied: the specific activities of acid phosphatase and Na,K-ATPase were analyzed in the liver and brain, respectively, and the concentration of metallothionein was measured in the gills. In addition, micronucleus and comet assays were performed with blood as genotoxic biomarkers. Nano-TiO2 caused no mortality under any of the conditions tested, but induced sublethal effects that were influenced by illumination condition. Under both illumination conditions tested, exposure to 100 mg/L showed an inhibition of acid phosphatase activity. Under visible light, there was an increase in metallothionein level in fish exposed to 1 mg/L of nano-TiO2. Under UV light, protein carbonylation was reduced in groups exposed to 1 and 10 mg/L, while nucleus alterations in erythrocytes were higher in fish exposed to 10 mg/L. As well as improving the understanding of nano-TiO2 toxicity, the findings demonstrated the importance of considering the experimental conditions in nanoecotoxicological tests. This work provides information for the development of protocols to study substances whose toxicity is affected by illumination conditions.

A fluorescent spectroscopy and modelling analysis of anti-heparanase aptamers-serum protein interactions. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2013; 127:68-77.

Abstract
Aptamers are short, single stranded oligonucleotide or peptide molecules that bind a specific target molecule and can be used for the delivery of therapeutic agents and/or for imaging and clinical diagnosis. Several works have been developed aiming at the production of aptamers and the study of their applications, but few results have been reported on plasmatic dynamics of such products. Aptamers against the heparanase enzyme have been previously described. In this work, the interactions of two constructs of the most promising anti-heparanase aptamer (molecular weights about 9200Da and 22000Da) to human and bovine serum albumins were studied by fluorescence quenching technique. Stern-Volmer graphs were plotted and quenching constants were estimated. Stern-Volmer plots obtained from experiments carried out at 25°C and 37°C showed that the quenching of fluorescence of HSA and BSA by the low molecular weight aptamer was a collisional phenomenon (estimated Stern-Volmer constant: 3.22 (±0.01)×10(5)M(-1) for HSA at 37°C and 2.47 (±0.01)×10(5)M(-1) for HSA at 25°C), while the high molecular weight aptamer quenched albumins by static process (estimated Stern-Volmer constant: 4.05 (±0.01)×10(5)M(-1) for HSA at 37°C and 6.20 (±0.01)×10(5)M(-1) for HSA at 25°C), interacting with those proteins constituting complexes. Linear Stern-Volmer plot from HSA titrated with the low MW aptamer suggested the existence of a single binding site for the quencher in this albumin. Differently, for aptamer 2, the slightly downward curvature of the Stern-Volmer plot of the titration for that albumin suggested a possible conformational change that led to the exposition of lower affinity binding sites in HSA at 25°C. Similarly, although short aptamerdoes not appear to form a stable complex (collisional interaction), the longer aptamer is found to form a stable complex with HSA. In addition, the behaviour of quenching curves for HSA and BSA and values estimated for ratio R1/R2 from model developed by Silva et al. suggest that the primary binding site in both aptamers is located closer to the tryptophan residue in sub domain IIA. It is likely that both aptamers are competing for the same primary site in albumin.

Abstract
The interactions of two short aptamers to human and bovine serum albumins were studied by fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. Intrinsic fluorescence of BSA and HSA were measured by selectively exciting their tryptophan residues. Gradual quenching was observed by titration of both proteins with aptamers. Aptamers are oligonucleic acid or peptide molecules that bind a specific target and can be used for both biotechnological and clinical purposes, since they present molecular recognition properties like that commonly found in antibodies. Two aptamers previously selected against the MUC1 tumour marker were used in this study, one selected for the protein core and one for the glycosylated MUC1. Stern-Volmer graphs were plotted and quenching constants were estimated. Plots obtained from experiments carried out at 25 °C and 37 °C showed the quenching of fluorescence of by aptamers to be a collisional phenomenon. Stern-Volmer constants estimated for HSA quenched by aptamer A were 1.68 × 10(5) (± 5 × 10(3))M(-1) at 37 °C, and 1.37 × 10(5) (± 10(3))M(-1) at 25 °C; and quenched by aptamer B were 1.67 × 10(5) (± 5 × 10(3))M(-1) at 37 °C, and 1.32 × 10(5) (± 10(3))M(-1) at 25 °C. Results suggest that the primary binding site for aptamers on albumin is close to tryptophan residues in sub domain IIA.

Abstract
The aim of the work is to study the mechanisms of the interaction of risperidone with human and bovine serum albumins using the fluorescence quenching technique. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic drug used to treat many psychiatric disorders. We selectively excited the fluorescence of tryptophan residues with a 290 nm wavelength light, and observed quenching by titrating human and bovine serum albumin solutions with risperidone. Emission spectra were recorded in the range from 300 to 450 nm for each quencher addition. Stern-Volmer graphs were plotted and quenching constants were estimated. Results showed that the drug quenches the fluorescence of the human serum albumin by the formation of a complex risperidone-albumin. Association constants calculated from Stern-Volmer equation for low concentrations (lower than 1:10 ratio risperidone/albumin) were of 2.56 × 10(5)M(-1), at 25 °C, and 1.43 × 10(5)M(-1), at 37 °C. As the quenching intensity of bovine serum albumin, which contains two tryptophan residues, was found to be higher than that of human serum albumin, which contains only one tryptophan residue. Hence, we suggest that the primary binding site for risperidone in albumin should be located in sub domain IB.

Abstract
Using fish serum albumin (FSA) as the model protein, molecular fluorescence spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were applied to study the effect of protein on the extraction of fluoroquinolone (FQ) residues in fish meat. There was a strong interaction between FQs and protein through hydrogen bonds, which could be broken as protein degenerated with 60-100% (v/v) acetonitrile acid solution, and FQs bound with protein were released in various degrees. On the basis of the results, a novel sample preparation procedure loosely based on QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) methodology was developed for the determination of FQ residues in fish muscle samples, using 90% (v/v) acetonitrile acid solution as the extractant, combined with a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) cleanup step. Mean recoveries of four FQs from spiked samples at a concentration range of 50-200 ng g(-1) were 73.3-95.9% with relative standard deviations (RSD) lower than 10.7%.

Abstract
Pesticides are chemicals usually used in agriculture to prevent possible diseases to crops, such as grapes, caused by parasites. Even if most of the pesticides are degraded during the wine process, residual levels remain in the final product. The most commonly used pesticides in vine belong to several classes of chemical compounds; among them, triazoles and anilinopyrimidines have been commercially used since the 1970s and 1990s, respectively. In this work, we investigated the interaction between three of the most used fungicides belonging to the chemical classes mentioned above (myclobutanil, triadimenol, and pyrimethanil) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) by nuclear spin relaxation analysis. We found that all of the pesticides were able to form a complex with BSA; nevertheless, there were strong differences in their affinity toward the plasma protein. The nuclear magnetic resonance approach used on the basis of the analysis of selective relaxation rate enhancements of pesticide protons in the presence of BSA allowed for the calculation of the affinity indexes and the equilibrium constants of the three systems. Myclobutanil showed the highest affinity toward BSA, whereas triadimenol gave the weakest interaction with the protein. The differences in the capacity of the three pesticides to bind to albumin highlighted the existence of different binding strengths on the protein. These results indicate that myclobutanil and triadimenol, despite their structure similarity, may have very different residence times in the plasma and rates of clearance.
