Substitution at the C-3 Position of Catechins Has an Influence on the Binding Affinities against Serum Albumin.

ABSTRACT: It is known that catechins interact with the tryptophan (Trp) residue at the drug-binding site of serum albumin. In this study, we used catechin derivatives to investigate which position of the catechin structure strongly influences the binding affinity against bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA). A docking simulation showed that (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) interacted with both Trp residues of BSA (one at drug-binding site I and the other on the molecular surface), mainly by ?-? stacking. Fluorescence analysis showed that EGCg and substituted EGCg caused a red shift of the peak wavelength of Trp similarly to warfarin (a drug-binding site I-specific compound), while 3-O-acyl-catechins caused a blue shift. To evaluate the binding affinities, the quenching constants were determined by the Stern-Volmer equation. A gallate ester at the C-3 position increased the quenching constants of the catechins. Against BSA, acyl substitution increased the quenching constant proportionally to the carbon chain lengths of the acyl group, whereas methyl substitution decreased the quenching constant. Against HSA, neither acyl nor methyl substitution affected the quenching constant. In conclusion, substitution at the C-3 position of catechins has an important influence on the binding affinity against serum albumin.

Project description:The present study describes the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro molecular interactions of a steroid 3β,6β-diacetoxy-5α-cholestan-5-ol. Through conventional and solid-state methods, a cholestane derivative was successfully synthesized, and a variety of analytical techniques were employed to confirm its identity, including high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), elemental analysis, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Optimizing the geometry of the steroid was undertaken using density functional theory (DFT), and the results showed great concordance with the data from the experiments. Fluorescence spectral methods and ultraviolet-vis absorption titration were employed to study the in vitro molecular interaction of the steroid regarding human serum albumin (HSA). The Stern-Volmer, modified Stern-Volmer, and thermodynamic parameters' findings showed that steroids had a significant binding affinity to HSA and were further investigated by molecular docking studies to understand the participation of active amino acids in forming non-bonding interactions with steroids. Fluorescence studies have shown that compound 3 interacts with human serum albumin (HSA) through a static quenching mechanism. The binding affinity of compound 3 for HSA was found to be 3.18 × 104 mol-1, and the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the binding reaction was -9.86 kcal mol-1 at 298 K. This indicates that the binding of compound 3 to HSA is thermodynamically favorable. The thermodynamic parameters as well as the binding score obtained from molecular docking at various Sudlow's sites was -8.2, -8.5, and -8.6 kcal/mol for Sites I, II, and III, respectively, supporting the system's spontaneity. Aside from its structural properties, the steroid demonstrated noteworthy antioxidant activity, as evidenced by its IC50 value of 58.5 μM, which is comparable to that of ascorbic acid. The findings presented here contribute to a better understanding of the pharmacodynamics of steroids.
