Structure Activity Related, Mechanistic, and Modeling Studies of Gallotannins containing a Glucitol-Core and ?-Glucosidase.

ABSTRACT: Gallotannins containing a glucitol core, which are only produced by members of the maple (Acer) genus, are more potent ?-glucosidase inhibitors than the clinical drug, acarbose. While this activity is influenced by the number of substituents on the glucitol core (e.g. more galloyl groups leads to increased activity), the mechanisms of inhibitory action are not known. Herein, we investigated ligand-enzyme interactions and binding mechanisms of a series of 'glucitol-core containing gallotannins (GCGs)' against the ?-glucosidase enzyme. The GCGs included ginnalins A, B and C (containing two, one, and one galloyl/s, respectively), maplexin F (containing 3 galloyls) and maplexin J (containing 4 galloyls). All of the GCGs were noncompetitive inhibitors of ?-glucosidase and their interactions with the enzyme were further explored using biophysical and spectroscopic measurements. Thermodynamic parameters (by isothermal titration calorimetry) revealed a 1:1 binding ratio between GCGs and ?-glucosidase. The binding regions between the GCGs and ?-glucosidase, probed by a fluorescent tag, 1,1'-bis(4-anilino-5-napththalenesulfonic acid, revealed that the GCGs decreased the hydrophobic surface of the enzyme. In addition, circular dichroism analyses showed that the GCGs bind to ?-glucosidase and lead to loss of the secondary ?-helix structure of the protein. Also, molecular modeling was used to predict the binding site between the GCGs and the ?-glucosidase enzyme. This is the first study to evaluate the mechanisms of inhibitory activities of gallotannins containing a glucitol core on ?-glucosidase.

Project description:This work aimed to evaluate in vitro DNA binding mechanistically of cationic nitrosyl ruthenium complex [RuNOTSP]+ and its ligand (TSPH2) in detail, correlate the findings with cleavage activity, and draw conclusions about the impact of the metal center. Theoretical studies were performed for [RuNOTSP]+, TSPH2, and its anion TSP-2 using DFT/B3LYP theory to calculate optimized energy, binding energy, and chemical reactivity. Since nearly all medications function by attaching to a particular protein or DNA, the in vitro calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) binding studies of [RuNOTSP]+ and TSPH2 with ctDNA were examined mechanistically using a variety of biophysical techniques. Fluorescence experiments showed that both compounds effectively bind to ctDNA through intercalative/electrostatic interactions via the DNA helix's phosphate backbone. The intrinsic binding constants (Kb), (2.4 ± 0.2) × 105 M-1 ([RuNOTSP]+) and (1.9 ± 0.3) × 105 M-1 (TSPH2), as well as the enhancement dynamic constants (KD), (3.3 ± 0.3) × 104 M-1 ([RuNOTSP]+) and (2.6 ± 0.2) × 104 M-1 (TSPH2), reveal that [RuNOTSP]+ has a greater binding propensity for DNA compared to TSPH2. Stopped-flow investigations showed that both [RuNOTSP]+ and TSPH2 bind through two reversible steps: a fast second-order binding, followed by a slow first-order isomerization reaction via a static quenching mechanism. For the first and second steps of [RuNOTSP]+ and TSPH2, the detailed binding parameters were established. The total binding constants for [RuNOTSP]+ (Ka = 43.7 M-1, Kd = 2.3 × 10-2 M-1, ΔG0 = -36.6 kJ mol-1) and TSPH2 (Ka = 15.1 M-1, Kd = 66 × 10-2 M, ΔG0 = -19 kJ mol-1) revealed that the relative reactivity is approximately ([RuNOTSP]+)/(TSPH2) = 3/1. The significantly negative ΔG0 values are consistent with a spontaneous binding reaction to both [RuNOTSP]+ and TSPH2, with the former being very favorable. The findings showed that the Ru(II) center had an effect on the reaction rate but not on the mechanism and that the cationic [RuNOTSP]+ was a more highly effective DNA binder than the ligand TSPH2 via strong electrostatic interaction with the phosphate end of DNA. Because of its higher DNA binding affinity, cationic [RuNOTSP]+ demonstrated higher cleavage efficiency towards the minor groove of pBR322 DNA via the hydrolytic pathway than TSPH2, revealing the synergy effect of TSPH2 in the form of the complex. Furthermore, the mode of interaction of both compounds with ctDNA has also been supported by molecular docking.
