Explication of bovine serum albumin binding with naphthyl hydroxamic acids using a multispectroscopic and molecular docking approach along with its antioxidant activity

Abstract

In the present investigation, the protein-binding properties of naphthyl-based hydroxamic acids (HAs), N-1-naphthyllaurohydroxamic acid (1) and N-1-naphthyl-pmethylbenzohydroxamic acid (2) were studied using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy-Fourier transform infrared (DRS-FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), and cyclic voltammetry along with computational approaches, i.e. molecular docking.Alteration in the antioxidant activities of compound 1 and compound 2 during interaction with BSA was also studied. From the fluorescence studies, thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb's free energy (ΔG), entropy change (ΔS) and enthalpy change (ΔH) were calculated at five different temperatures (viz., 298, 303, 308, 313 or 318 K) for the HAs-BSA interaction. The results suggested that the binding process was enthalpy driven with dominating hydrogen bonds and van der Waals' interactions for both compounds. Warfarin (WF) and ibuprofen (IB) were used for competitive site-specific marker binding interaction and revealed that compound 1 and compound 2 were located in subdomain IIA (Sudlow's site I) on the BSA molecule. Conclusions based on above-applied techniques signify that various non-covalent forces were involved during the HAs-BSA interaction. Therefore the resulted HAs-BSA interaction manifested its effect in transportation, distribution and metabolism for the drug in the blood circulation system, therefore establishing HAs as a drug-like molecule.

Aflatoxin B1 Induced Structural and Conformational Changes in Bovine Serum Albumin: A Multispectroscopic and Circular Dichroism-Based Study

“…Native BSA exhibited a 67.39% α-helix that was reduced to 51.18% in the presence of AFB 1 . The percentage of the α-helix obtained for BSA is in accordance with previous work by Agrawal et al 58 Far-UV CD analysis was performed to investigate the thermal denaturation of BSA in the presence of AFB 1 from 20 to 90 °C temperature scan at pH 7.4.…”

Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzamide‐chalcone hybrids as potential c‐Met kinase and COX‐2 inhibitors

“…Because of its homology, accessibility, low cost, and stability, BSA is often used as a substitute for human serum albumin. [51,52] As a result, the selected compounds were evaluated for serum albumin binding using BSA. In vitro protein-binding studies were performed for compounds with activity against c-Met and COX-2.…”

Multispectroscopic and Molecular Docking Insight into Elucidating the Interaction of Irisin with Rivastigmine Tartrate: A Combinational Therapy Approach to Fight Alzheimer’s Disease

“…Pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties of drugs depend upon their interaction with the carrier protein present in blood plasma. 19 A recent literature has reported the interaction of RT with other important proteins. 20 Rivastigmine is actually a noncompetitive carbamate acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI), which is structurally different from other currently available inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase enzymes.…”
