Abstract
Molecular interaction of entecavir (ETV) with the transport protein, albumin from bovine serum (BSA) was explored through multispectral and molecular docking approaches. The BSA fluorescence was appreciably quenched upon ETV binding and the quenching nature was static. The ETV-BSA complexation and the static quenching process were further reiterated using UV-visible absorption spectra. The binding constant (Ka) values of the complex were found as 1.47 × 104-4.0 × 103 M-1, which depicting a modarate binding strength in the ETV-BSA complexation. The experimental outcomes verified that the stable complexation was primarily influenced by hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Synchronous and 3-D fluorescence spectral results demonstrated that ETV had significant impact on the hydrophobicity and polarity of the molecular environment near Tyr and Trp residues. Competitive site-markers displacement (with warfarin and ketoprofen) results discovered the suitable binding locus of ETV at site I in BSA. The molecular docking assessments also revealed that ETV formed hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with BSA, predominantly binding to site I (sub-domain IIA) of BSA.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 322:124818. [PMID: 39029202 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
The interaction between Nitisinone (NTBC) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the transport protein in a circulating system was investigated for the first time utilizing various analytical (UV-Vis spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and differential scanning calorimetry) and computational (molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations) methods. The BSA fluorescence intensity was quenched upon interaction with NTBC, and the quenching mechanism was observed as static. The interaction between NTBC and BSA was examined at 288 K, 298 K, and 308 K where the binding constants were found to be 1.44 × 105 ± 0.22 M-1, 5.18 × 104 ± 0.20 M-1, and 3.02 × 104 ± 0.22 M-1 respectively, suggesting an intermediate binding affinity between NTBC and BSA. Changes in the microenvironment surrounding tryptophan and tyrosine residues of BSA were elucidated using 3-D fluorescence spectroscopy. Thermodynamic studies revealed the calculated values of ΔH = - 54.34 ± 5 kJ/mol and ΔS = - 0.0908 ± 0.24 kJ/mol K-1, indicating the involvement of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds in the interaction between NTBC and BSA. Moreover, the interaction's spontaneous nature was evidenced by negative ΔG values across all temperatures. Using dynamic light scattering, it was observed that higher NTBC concentrations led to a gradual rise in hydrodynamic diameter and notable aggregation of the NTBC-BSA complex. Moreover, changing signal values and shifted peaks of BSA, NTBC, and complex in differential scanning calorimetry curves, meant there were molecular interactions between the NTBC and BSA. In silico approaches also elucidated how NTBC binds to active sites on BSA, further supporting other findings. Moreover, molecular docking studies offer a more profound insight into the changing dynamics of hydrophobic, hydrogen, and halogen bonding involved in stabilizing the NTBC-BSA complex.

Abstract
Atorvastatin-an oral lipid regulating drug is a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase), which is the rate determining enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Adenine is a purine nucleobase that is found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) to generate genetic information. The binding mechanism of atorvastatin and adenine was studied for the first time utilizing various techniques, including UV-visible spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SF), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and metal ion complexation. The fluorescence spectra of the complex indicated that atorvastatin is bound to adenine via hydrophobic interaction through a spontaneous binding process, and the fluorescence quenching mechanism was found to be static quenching with a binding constant of 1.4893 × 104 Lmol-1 at 298 K. Various temperature settings were used to investigate thermodynamic characteristics, such as binding forces, binding constants, and the number of binding sites. The interaction parameters, including the standard enthalpy change (ΔHο) and standard entropy change (ΔSο) were calculated using Van't Hoff's equation to be 42.82 kJmol-1 and 208.9 Jmol-1K-1, respectively. The findings demonstrated that the adenine- atorvastatin binding was endothermic. Furthermore, the results of the experiments revealed that some metal ions (K+, Ca+2, Co+2, Cu+2, and Al+3) facilitate the binding interaction between atorvastatin and adenine. Slight changes are observed in the FTIR spectra of adenine, indicating the binding interaction between adenine and atorvastatin.

Abstract
Polyphenols, polysaccharides, and proteins are essential nutrients and functional substances present in food, and when present together these components often interact with each other to influence their structure and function. Proteins and polysaccharides are also excellent carrier materials for polyphenols. In this context, this study investigated the non-covalent interactions between taxifolin (TAX), Lentinus edodes mycelia polysaccharide (LMP), and β-casein (β-CN). β-CN and LMP spontaneously formed nanocomplexes by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The quenching constant and binding constant were (1.94 ± 0.02) × 1013 L mol-1 s-1 and (3.22 ± 0.17) × 105 L mol-1 at 298 K, respectively. The altered conformation of β-CN, resulting from the binding to LMP, affected the interaction with TAX. LMP significantly enhanced the binding affinity of TAX and β-CN, but did not change the static quenching binding mode. The binding constant for β-CN-TAX was (3.96 ± 0.09) × 1013 L mol-1, and that for the interaction between TAX and β-CN-LMP was (32.06 ± 0.05) × 1013 L mol-1. In summary, β-CN-LMP nanocomplexes have great potential as a nanocarrier for polyphenols, and this study provides a theoretical foundation for the rational design of non-covalent complexes involving LMP and β-CN, both in binary and ternary configurations.

Abstract
Buspirone is an anxiolytic drug that plays a significant role in managing anxiety disorders and alleviating their symptoms as well. Several techniques were utilized to study the interaction between buspirone and human serum albumin under physiological conditions, including UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), equilibrium dialysis, and molecular docking. The results of this study demonstrated that buspirone quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of human serum albumin through a mixed mechanism. Moreover, the binding constants (Kb), the quenching constants (Ksv), and thermodynamic parameters were calculated at various temperatures. The binding process of buspirone to human serum albumin showed a cooperative binding pattern, confirmed by the Scatchard diagram and Hill coefficient. Molecular docking results showed that buspirone interacted with the IIA, IIIA, and IIB subdomains of human serum albumin and slightly changed its conformation. It was also found that hydrophobic forces played a major role in this interaction. This study consequently proves that BSH as a drug can be transported by blood albumin. Additionally, due to its ratiometric response in absorbance upon binding to a biological target, HSA can be used as a molecular probe to follow biomolecular interactions.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a serum protein that carries flavonoids in blood circulation. In this report, the binding selectivity and strength of interactions to HSA-binding sites (sites I or II) by flavonoids were evaluated using competition experiments and the specific fluorescent dyes, dansylamide and BD140. Most tested flavonoids bound site I preferentially, with the binding strength dependent on the mother structure in the order flavonol > flavone > flavanone > flavan 3-ols. Glycosylation or glucuronidation reduced the binding of quercetin to site I of HSA, whereas sulfation increased binding. Quercetin 7-sulfate showed the strongest binding and molecular docking simulations supported this observation. Prenylation at any position or glucuronidation and sulfation at the C-4' or C-7 position of quercetin facilitated stronger binding to site II. The binding affinity of flavonoids toward site I correlated with the partition coefficient value (logP), whereas no corresponding correlation was observed for site II.

Abstract
Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, growth, organ differentiation, and energy homeostasis, exerting significant effects in various key metabolic pathways. Halogenated thiophenols (HTPs) exhibit high toxicity and harmfulness to organisms, and numerous studies have demonstrated their thyroid-disrupting effects. To understand the mechanism of action of HTPs on TBG, a combination of competitive binding experiments, multiple fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, molecular docking, and molecular simulations was employed to investigate the binding mechanism and identify the binding site. The competition binding assay between HTPs and ANS confirmed the competition of HTPs with thyroid hormone T4 for the active site of TBG, resulting in changes in the TBG microenvironment upon the binding of HTPs to the active site. Key amino acid residues involved in the binding process of HTPs and TBG were further investigated through residue energy decomposition. The distribution of high-energy contributing residues was determined. Analysis of root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) demonstrated the stability of the HTPs-TBG complex. These findings confirm the toxic mechanism of HTPs in thyroid disruption, providing a fundamental reference for accurately assessing the ecological risk of pollutants and human health. Providing mechanistic insights into how HTPS causes thyroid diseases.

Abstract
In the fields of pharmacology and life sciences, it is essential to study how prescribed drugs interact with carrier proteins in human serum albumin. The current study has evaluated the binding properties of rhodanine derivative; (z)-2-(4-(5-((3-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)benzamido)acetic acid (P3CL) on bovine serum albumin (BSA) by biophysical approach. BSA is a homology model of Human serum albumin. Due to the cost-effectiveness of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) we have studied the binding properties of rhodanine derivative (P3CL) on BSA. The BSA-P3CL interactions were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and revealed the presence of a static quenching mechanism. P3CL possesses good binding affinity on BSA with binding constant KP3CL = 5.36330 × 1013 M-1 binding free energy. We have calculated the binding free energy, the number of binding sites, and the binding constants. The establishment of hydrogen bonds and the active participation of amino acids in drug binding were confirmed by molecular docking studies. As conventional processes for the investigation of pharmacological drugs, therapeutic combinations, and coordinated drug intake, the offered strategies are simple to comprehend, accurate, and rapid to put into practice. Our findings will support an additional investigation into ligand's pharmacological activity.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The biological activity of drugs is exhibited due to their interactions with bio-receptors. Dicoumarol (DIC) is a natural hydroxycoumarin and a well-known anticoagulant. DNA is the genetic material and one of the targets of numerous drugs. The interaction of DIC with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been studied using different biophysical techniques and docking studies. The binding constant in the order of 103 to 104 M-1 was observed from spectroscopic studies. Thermodynamic studies at 4 different temperatures revealed the spontaneity of the interaction with the entropy-driven process. Marker displacement studies with competitive markers of intercalators (ethidium bromide) and groove binders (Hoechst 33258) confirmed the groove-binding nature of DIC in DNA. The groove-binding mode of DIC was complemented by different studies like viscosity measurements, DNA melting, and the effect of KI on the binding. A minor perturbation in the DNA viscosity and no significant change in the DNA melting temperature (Tm) after binding with DIC further confirms the groove binding mode. The effect of KI on the DIC and DIC-DNA system suggested the absence of DIC intercalation. The absence of significant electrostatic force was revealed from the ionic-strength effect study. Binding-induced conformational variation in ct-DNA was absent in circular dichroism studies. Molecular docking studies suggested the position of DIC within the minor groove of ct-DNA, covering three base pairs long. The outcome of this report may help in understanding the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of dicoumarol analogs and related molecules.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Ethoxyquin (EQ) is a synthetic antioxidant that is derived from quinolines and found in many meat products. EQ is strictly regulated in feed due to its potential health implications. An investigation of the interaction mechanism between EQ and transporter protein before and after β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) encapsulation was conducted with the use of multi-spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and molecular docking. EQ formed complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA), and affected secondary structure and microenvironment polarity of BSA. However, at 298 K, EQ's fluorescence quenching constants decreased from (9.81 ± 0.05) × 103 L mol-1 to (4.94 ± 0.09) × 103 L mol-1, binding constants decreased from (10.28 ± 0.02) × 103 L mol-1 to (2.08 ± 0.07) × 103 L mol-1, after encapsulation in β-CD as well as the binding distance increased. β-CD contains part of EQ in its hydrophobic cavity, inhibiting its binding to BSA. β-CD inclusion complex prevented adverse effects of EQ on BSA conformation. However, β-CD encapsulation had no effect on EQ's antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Rhodanine is an important scaffold in medicinal chemistry and it act as potent anticancer agent and other pharmacological effects. In pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics studies of the drug, the drug binding properties on serum protein is crucial for producing better drug. This study was designed to explore the binding interactions between the Rhodanine derivative (P4OC) on Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). The interactions between P4OC and BSA were investigated using biophysical approach and molecular docking. The quenching mechanism and binding constants of P4OC on BSA were determined by biophysical approach through fluorescence spectroscopic experiments. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy was used to study the secondary structural changes of BSA upon P4OC binding. The fluorescence experiments of P4OC binding on BSA show good drug binding with static quenching constants using stern Volmer plot and found the quenching constant value KP4OC = 1.12762 × 1013 M-1 with corresponding binding free energy (ΔG) -2.303 kcal/mol. The molecular displacement fluorescence emission on BSA-P4OC complex by site specific markers shows that P4OC binds at I A sub-domain of BSA further confirmed peak shift by synchronous fluorescence of P4OC on BSA with tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine amino acids. Increasing concentration of P4OC on BSA found secondary structural changes, the percentage of α-helix was decreased as well increase percentage of β-sheet and random coil. The binding of P4OC to BSA was computationally studied by molecular docking methods. Thus, results obtained are in excellent agreement with experimental and theoretical results with respect to the binding mechanism and binding constant of P4OC on BSA. We concluded that, the rhodanine derivative P4OC possesses good drug binding properties on BSA. Further P4OC may be evaluated its potential pharmacological activities on clinical trial.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The binding of pseudallecin A (PA), a potential antibiotic with strong inhibitory activities against Gram-positive Escherichia coli and Gram-negative Staphylococcus aureus, to human serum albumin (HSA) was explored. The interaction between them was assessed by multi-spectroscopic analysis, binding site competitive analysis, molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation, showing the results as follows: PA effectively quenched the innate fluorescence of HSA by a static quenching process, formed a complex at a molar ratio of approximately 1 : 1 and performed an effective non-radiative energy transfer; the binding of PA to HSA was a spontaneous exothermic reaction driven by enthalpy with strong affinity and had a slight effect on the conformation of HSA; PA bound at site III of HSA and hydrogen bonds were the major binding forces to maintain the stability of the PA-HSA complex. Molecular dynamic simulation was performed to calculate the root mean square deviation (RMSD), root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) and radius of gyration (Rg) for this complex and effectively supported the spectroscopic outcome. These results meant that the delivery and distribution of PA as a water-insoluble molecule can be efficiently accomplished via HSA in human blood and, it has a good potential for future drug application and pharmacological development.

Abstract
To investigate the binding characteristics of pesticide ethiprole (ETP) with serum albumin is of great significance for pathological analysis of pesticide poisoning, gene mutation, and clinical detection. In present work, the binding characteristics of ETP with a model protein BSA has been estimated by means of multi-spectroscopic approaches integrated with computer simulation. The outcomes testified that the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was mainly quenched by ETP in a static quenching mode and the stable ETP-BSA complex with the stoichiometry of 1:1 and the binding constant of 6.81 × 103 M-1 (298 K) was produced. The outcomes revealed that ETP combined preferentially to the subdomain IIA (Site I) of BSA and caused the decline in the content of α-helix of BSA and the enhancement in the hydrophobicity of environment centered on Trp residues. The outcomes of experimental and theoretical studies provide the sufficient evidence about the driving forces for the complexation of ETP with BSA, which included van der Waals forces (vdW), hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interaction, and hydrophobicity. Simultaneously, the theoretical calculation results also confirmed the existence of the significant changes in the physicochemical natures of ETP including molecular conformation, dipole moment, frontier orbital energy, and the atomic charge distribution, which was a responsible for the complexation with BSA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Pyrethroid insecticides (PIs), a class of structurally similar non-persistent organic pollutants, can be degraded and metabolized to more toxic, and longer half-life products. In this study, the binding interaction mechanisms between human serum albumin (HSA) and the main degradation metabolites of PIs, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) and 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid (4-F-3-PBA), were studied by theoretical simulation and experimental verification. Steady state fluorescence spectra showed that the fluorescence quenching mechanism was static. According to the binding constant, 4-F-3-PBA (1.53 × 105 L mol-1) was bound more strongly to HSA than 3-PBA (1.42 × 105 L mol-1) in subdomain ⅡA (site I). It was found by isothermal titration calorimetry that the metabolites and HSA spontaneously combined mainly through hydrogen bond and van der Waals interaction. Ultraviolet absorption spectra and circular dichroism spectra showed that the metabolites caused slight changes in the microenvironment and conformation of HSA. The above results were proved by molecular docking. The toxicity properties of the metabolites were further analyzed by software, and 4-F-3-PBA was found to be more toxic than 3-PBA. Considering the high exposure level of these metabolites in food, the environment and human body, it is necessary to further explore the toxicity of PIs metabolites.

Abstract
DNA is the major target for a number of pharmaceutical drugs. The interaction of drug molecules with DNA plays a major role in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Bis-coumarin derivatives have diverse biological properties. Here, we have explored the antioxidant activity of 3,3'-Carbonylbis (7-diethylamino coumarin) (CDC) using DPPH, H2O2, and superoxide scavenging studies followed by its binding mode in calf thymus-DNA (CT-DNA) using several biophysical methods including molecular docking. CDC exhibited comparable antioxidant activity to standard ascorbic acid. The UV-Visible and fluorescence spectral variations indicate the CDC-DNA complex formation. The binding constant in the range of 104 M-1 was obtained from spectroscopic studies at room temperature. The fluorescence quenching of CDC by CT-DNA suggested a quenching constant (KSV) of 103 to 104 M-1 order. Thermodynamic studies at 303, 308, and 318 K revealed the observed quenching as a dynamic process besides the spontaneity of the interaction with negative free energy change. Competitive binding studies with site markers like ethidium bromide, methylene blue, and Hoechst 33258 reflect CDC's groove mode of interaction. The result was complemented by DNA melting study, viscosity measurement, and KI quenching studies. The ionic strength effect was studied to interpret the electrostatic interaction and found its insignificant role in the binding. Molecular docking studies suggested the binding location of CDC within the minor groove of CT-DNA, complementing the experimental result.

Abstract
As a typical chiral triazole fungicide, the enantioselective toxicity of prothioconazole to environmental organisms is of increasing concern. Herein, the binding mechanism of chiral PTCs to BSA was investigated by multi-spectral technique and molecular docking. Fluorescence titration and fluorescence lifetime experiments fully established that quenching BSA fluorescence by chiral PTCs is static quenching and could spontaneously bind to BSA. Hydrophobic interactions dominate the binding process of chiral PTCs to BSA. Differently, although both chiral PTCs and BSA have a primary binding site, the difference in chiral isomerism leads to a stronger binding ability of S-PTC than R-PTC. Both configurations of PTC can change the conformation of BSA and induce changes in the microenvironment around its amino acid residues, and the effect of S-PTC is more significant. Overall, S-PTC exhibited a more substantial effect on BSA structure relative to R-PTC. That is, S-PTC may lead to more potent potential toxicological effects on environmental organisms. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the environmental behavior of chiral pesticides and their potential toxicity to environmental organisms at the molecular level and provides a theoretical basis for the screening of highly effective and biologically less toxic enantiomers of chiral pesticides.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid(CGA) is the common active phenolic acid in Chinese medicinal materials such as honeysuckle and eucommia. It is a class of small molecules with multiple activities such as antioxidant, inhibiting cancer cells, lowering blood sugar and lowering blood pressure. In this paper, UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, molecular dynamics simulation and cyclic voltammetry (CV) electrochemical analysis were used to investigate the mechanism about interaction between CGA and BSA. Based on fluorescence quenching analysis, CGA quenched the inherent fluorescence of BSA remarkably through a static mechanism. The obtained value of binding constant (Kb = 5.75 × 105 L·mol-1) revealed a high binding affinity between CGA and BSA. The simulated molecular docking showed that hydrophobic force were also involved in the interaction between BSA and CGA. This paper also investigate the effect of temperature and metal ions on the binding of CGA and BSA. When the temperature increased, the binding of BSA and CGA was destroyed. Metal ions affect both the structure of BSA and the combination of BSA and CGA. By studying the mechanism of CGA interaction with BSA, we elucidated the storage and transport mechanism of CGA in vivo under simulated human environment and temperature conditions.

Abstract
The interaction between caffeic acid (CA) and pepsin was investigated using multi-spectroscopy approaches and molecular dynamic simulations (MDS). The effects of CA on the structure, stability, and activity of pepsin were studied. Fluorescence emission spectra and UV-vis absorption peaks all represented the static quenching mechanism of pepsin by CA. Moreover, the fluorescence spectra displayed that the interaction of CA exposed the tryptophan chromophores of pepsin to a more hydrophilic micro-environment. Consistent with the simulation results, thermodynamic parameters revealed that CA was bound to pepsin with a high binding affinity. The Van der Waals force and Hydrogen bond interaction were the dominant driving forces during the binding process. The circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy analysis showed that the CA binding to pepsin decreased the contents of α-Helix and Random Coil but increased the content of β-sheet in the pepsin structure. Accordingly, MD simulations confirmed all the experimental results. As a result, CA is considered an inhibitor with adverse effects on pepsin activity.

[PMID: 36982397 PMCID: PMC10048853 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Myricetin (MYR) and myricitrin (MYT) are well recognized for their nutraceutical value, such as antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and hypotensive effects. In this work, fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular modeling were adopted to investigate the conformational and stability changes of proteinase K (PK) in the presence of MYR and MYT. The experimental results showed that both MYR and MYT could quench fluorescence emission via a static quenching mechanism. Further investigation demonstrated that both hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces play significant roles in the binding of complexes, which is consistent with the conclusions of molecular modeling. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, Förster resonance energy transfer, and site-tagged competition experiments were performed to prove that the binding of MYR or MYT to PK could alter its micro-environment and conformation. Molecular docking results revealed that either MYR or MYT spontaneously interacted with PK at a single binding site via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, which is consistent with the results of spectroscopic measurements. A 30 ns molecular dynamics simulation was conducted for both PK-MYR and PK-MYT complexes. The calculation results showed that no large structural distortions or interaction changes occurred during the entire simulation time span. The average RMSD changes of PK in PK-MYR and PK-MYT were 2.06 and 2.15 Å, respectively, indicating excellent stability of both complexes. The molecular simulation results suggested that both MYR and MYT could interact with PK spontaneously, which is in agreement with spectroscopic results. This agreement between experimental and theoretical results indicates that the method herein could be feasible and worthwhile for protein–ligand complex studies.

Abstract
Wheat germ oil (WGO) is the richest source of unexplored antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. In this study, we identified the constituents of WGO by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The physicochemical and pharmacokinetic behaviors were evaluated for the top 12 constituents with the common target FABP4. Three fatty acids with significant anti-inflammatory activity were evaluated for their interaction with FABP4 by molecular docking. The molecular mechanisms involved in anti-inflammatory responses were analyzed by various in-silico analytical tools and multidimensional data analysis. WGO showed anti-inflammatory activities via FABP4 interacting physically with target genes (77.84%) and by co-expressing with 8.01% genes. Primary targets for inflammatory pathways were PPARα, PPARγ, LPL, LEP, and ADIPOQ, as depicted by gene network enrichment analysis. The key pathways implicated were the metabolism of lipids, PPAR signaling, cellular response to alcohol, oxygen and nitrogen pathway, inflammatory response pathway, and regulation of the inflammatory pathway. The common transcription factors implicated were HNF1, AP2α, CEBP, FOX, STATS, MYC, Zic, etc. In this study, we found that WGO possesses anti-inflammatory potential via FABP4 binding to PPARα, PPARγ, LPL, LEP, and ADIPOQ gene expression by regulatory transcription factors HNF, AP2α, and CEPB.

Evaluation of the Effect of Wheat Germ Oil and Olmutinib on the Thioacetamide-Induced Liver and Kidney Toxicity in Mice. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12060900.

Abstract
Thioacetamide (TAA) intoxication produces a reproducible standard animal model of induced liver and kidney injuries where free radicals are produced by phase I oxidation reactions, which eventually leads to liver and kidney failure. Wheat germ oil (WGO) is a unique food supplement with concentrated nutrient efficiency and has remarkable antioxidant functions. Olmutinib, on the other hand, is a chemotherapy drug considered safe for kidneys and the liver. Therefore, in this study, WGO and olmutinib were investigated for their effect on TAA-induced liver and kidney damage. Inflammatory markers; interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β); IL-6; and the levels of enzymatic markers ALT (Alanine aminotransferase), AST (Aspartate aminotransferase), LDH (Lactate dehydrogenase), and CK (creatinine kinase) in serum for liver and kidney were analyzed and evaluated along with histopathological changes in the tissue. Thirty male mice 4–6 weeks of age were grouped into five groups of six animals: the control group (saline) and the other groups (Groups II to V), which were given thioacetamide for two weeks. In addition, Group II continued with TAA; Group III was given olmutinib (30 mg/kg), Group IV was given the wheat germ oil (WGO) (1400 mg/kg), and Group V was given (olmutinib (30 mg/kg) + WGO (1400 mg/kg)) for five days. The results suggested that olmutinib treatment potentiated TAA-induced liver and kidney injury. At the same time, WGO efficiently alleviated TAA and TAA–olmutinib toxicity in Groups IV and V. The histological studies also showed reduced damage with WGO in the animal model. Hence, it was concluded that WGO could significantly reduce liver and kidney damage caused by TAA and olmutinib in mice.

Abstract
Quetiapine (QTP) is a short-acting atypical antipsychotic drug that treats schizophrenia or manic episodes of bipolar disorder. Human serum albumin (HSA) is an essential transport protein that transports hormones and various other ligands to their intended site of action. The interactions of QTP with HSA and their binding mechanism in the HSA-QTP system was studied using spectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. The UV-Vis absorption study shows hyperchromicity in the spectra of HSA on the addition of QTP, suggesting the complex formation and interactions between QTP and HSA. The results of intrinsic fluorescence indicate that QTP quenched the fluorescence of HSA and confirmed the complex formation between HSA and QTP, and this quenching mechanism was a static one. Thermodynamic analysis of the HSA-QTP system confirms the involvement of hydrophobic forces, and this complex formation is spontaneous. The competitive displacement and molecular docking experiments demonstrated that QTP is preferentially bound to HSA subdomain IB. Furthermore, the CD experiment results showed conformational changes in the HSA-QTP system. Besides this, the addition of QTP does not affect the esterase-like activity of HSA. This study will help further understand the credible mechanism of transport and delivery of QTP via HSA and design new QTP-based derivatives with greater efficacy.

Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27041265.

Abstract
The interaction between erlotinib (ERL) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied in the presence of quercetin (QUR), a flavonoid with antioxidant properties. Ligands bind to the transport protein BSA resulting in competition between different ligands and displacing a bound ligand, resulting in higher plasma concentrations. Therefore, various spectroscopic experiments were conducted in addition to in silico studies to evaluate the interaction behavior of the BSA-ERL system in the presence and absence of QUR. The quenching curve and binding constants values suggest competition between QUR and ERL to bind to BSA. The binding constant for the BSA-ERL system decreased from 2.07 × 104 to 0.02 × 102 in the presence of QUR. The interaction of ERL with BSA at Site II is ruled out based on the site marker studies. The suggested Site on BSA for interaction with ERL is Site I. Stability of the BSA-ERL system was established with molecular dynamic simulation studies for both Site I and Site III interaction. In addition, the analysis can significantly help evaluate the effect of various quercetin-containing foods and supplements during the ERL-treatment regimen. In vitro binding evaluation provides a cheaper alternative approach to investigate ligand-protein interaction before clinical studies.
