Sulfonamides can interact with human serum albumin, leading to fluorescence quenching and changes in the secondary structure of the albumin.
Sulfonamides are widely used antibiotics in agricultural production. However, the potential threat of these drugs to human health has increased global concern. Human serum albumin (HSA) is the main reservoir and transporter of exogenous small molecules in humans. In this study, the interaction between sulfadimethoxine (SMT) and human serum albumin (HSA) was studied using spectroscopy and computer simulation. Our results showed that the hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces drove SMT to enter the binding site I of HSA spontaneously and resulted in the fluorescence quenching of HSA. The stability of the HSA-SMT complex decreased with an increase in temperature. The binding of SMT to HSA induced alterations in the secondary structure of HSA, where the content of alpha-helix decreased from 61.0% of the free state to 59.0% of the compound state. The pi-pi, pi-sigma, and pi-alkyl interactions between HSA and SMT were found to play important roles in maintaining the stability of the complex.
