In vitro polarization‐resolved resonance Raman studies of the interaction of hematin with the antimalarial drug chloroquine

Abstract: Despite the public health impact of human malaria, the mechanism of hemozoin inhibition by antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine (CQ) is not yet fully understood. Polarization-resolved resonance Raman spectra of hematin and its complex with CQ were recorded under Q-band resonance conditions in order to monitor the binding of the 4-aminoquinoline drug to the heme macrocycle. Upon drug addition, only wavenumber shifts smaller than 2 cm −1 are detected, indicating a non-covalent interaction in the electronic gro… Show more

“…[21] Indications for covalent or hydrogen bonds between FPIX and the drug molecule were not observed in any of the complexes. For CQ, this finding is supported by electrospray-ionization mass spectroscopy [43] and polarization-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy [44] on FPIX:CQ complexes. Both studies rule out a covalent interaction between the molecules.…”

“…The hematin-chloroquine CQ mechanism interaction was recently reported using resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy. 18 Polarization-resolved RR spectra of hematin and its complex with CQ were recorded under Q-band resonance conditions in order to monitor the binding of the drug to the heme structure. A noncovalent interaction in the electronic ground state of the CQ-heme complex was concluded.…”

“…A noncovalent interaction in the electronic ground state of the CQ-heme complex was concluded. 18 Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been proven to trigger exciting opportunities in the field of biomedical spectroscopy, 21,22 where it allows the study of structural-functional properties of biologically relevant molecules, which are often present in extremely small concentrations at physiological level. SERS combines the FT-Raman and NIR-SERS characterization of CQ and MQ and their interaction with hematin structural information available by Raman spectroscopy with ultrasensitive detection limits, allowing a detection down to the single-molecule level.…”
