Unveiling interaction mechanisms between myricitrin and human serum albumin: Insights from multi-spectroscopic, molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation analyses

Tianmei Niu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction mechanism between myricitrin and human serum albumin (HSA) using spectroscopic methods, molecular docking techniques, and molecular dynamic simulations. The results showed that the interaction between HSA and myricitrin exhibited a static fluorescence quenching mechanism, with binding processes being spontaneous and mainly driven by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and electrostatic interactions. The binding of myricitrin also altered the conformation of HSA. The findings provide valuable insights for the application of myricitrin in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Characterization of Climbazole-Bovine serum albumin interaction by experimental and in silico approaches

Md. Zahirul Kabir et al.

Summary: The interactive association between the antifungal drug climbazole (CBZ) and the carrier protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using fluorescence, absorption spectroscopy, and in silico techniques. The results confirmed the formation of a complex between CBZ and BSA. Hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, and hydrogen bonds were found to play key roles in stabilizing the complex. The binding of CBZ to BSA occurred near Sudlow's sites I and II, with a greater preference for site II.

Lipidic cubic-phase leflunomide nanoparticles (cubosomes) as a potential tool for breast cancer management

Mariam Zewail et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the transdermal effect of leflunomide (LEF) against breast cancer. LEF was loaded into cubosomes to enhance its physicochemical properties. The selected LEF loaded cubosomal formulation showed small particle size, narrow size distribution, negative zeta potential, high entrapment efficiency, and sustained release profile. Cell culture results demonstrated the superiority of LEF cubosomes in terms of cytotoxic effects and cell uptake, indicating their potential usefulness for breast cancer management.

Copper(II) complexes with 4-(diethylamino)salicylaldehyde and α-diimines: Anticancer, antioxidant, antigenotoxic effects and interaction with DNA and albumins

Teodora Vitomirov et al.

Summary: This article reports on the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and interaction with DNA and proteins of two Cu(II) complexes with a salicylaldehyde derivative and alpha-diimine. The complexes exhibited cytotoxic effects against malignant cell lines, with the Cu(II) complex with phen showing higher cytotoxicity than the one with bipy. The complexes induced apoptosis through activation of specific caspases and showed antioxidant and antigenotoxic effects. They also demonstrated the ability to intercalate with CT DNA and bind reversibly and tightly to albumins.

Concomitant binding of two fluorescent probes at site-I of human serum albumin: The protein acting as a scaffold enabling fluorescence resonance energy transfer

Valdecir Farias Ximenes

Summary: This study demonstrates that two ligands can be accommodated simultaneously in the binding site-I of human serum albumin (HSA). Experimental results using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) show that the presence of the protein alters the interaction between ligands and the protein microenvironment. These findings have important implications for understanding the drug transport mechanism of HSA.

Anticancer nano-delivery systems based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles: A critical review

Raghu Solanki et al.

Summary: Bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs) are promising for efficient anti-cancer drug delivery due to their non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and high drug-binding capacity. Understanding the structural/physicochemical features of BSA molecule and its derived nanovehicles, as well as effective variables in delivery mechanism, is essential for leveraging the potential of this carrier in cancer therapy. The review highlights recent advances in using BSA NPs for delivering anti-cancer agents and discusses the factors influencing the efficiency of therapeutics in nano-delivery systems.
