Antioxidant Activity Evaluation and Assessment of the Binding Affinity to HSA of a New Catechol Hydrazinyl-Thiazole Derivative.

ABSTRACT: Polyphenols have attained pronounced attention due to their ability to provide numerous health benefits and prevent several chronic diseases. In this study, we designed, synthesized and analyzed a water-soluble molecule presenting a good antioxidant activity, namely catechol hydrazinyl-thiazole (CHT). This molecule contains 3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl and 2-hydrazinyl-4-methyl-thiazole moieties linked through a hydrazone group with very good antioxidant activity in the in vitro evaluations performed. A preliminary validation of the CHT developing hypothesis was performed evaluating in silico the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) of the phenol O-H bonds, compared to our previous findings in the compounds previously reported by our group. In this paper, we report the binding mechanism of CHT to human serum albumin (HSA) using biophysical methods in combination with computational studies. ITC experiments reveal that the dominant forces in the binding mechanism are involved in the hydrogen bond or van der Waals interactions and that the binding was an enthalpy-driven process. NMR relaxation measurements were applied to study the CHT-protein interaction by changing the drug concentration in the solution. A molecular docking study added an additional insight to the experimental ITC and NMR analysis regarding the binding conformation of CHT to HSA.

Project description:We have previously demonstrated that the thiazole derivative 3-methylcyclopentylidene-[4-(4'-chlorophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]hydrazone (CPTH6) induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in human leukemia cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether CPTH6 is able to affect autophagy. By using several human tumor cell lines with different origins we demonstrated that CPTH6 treatment induced, in a dose-dependent manner, a significant increase in autophagic features, as imaged by electron microscopy, immunoblotting analysis of membrane-bound form of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3B-II) levels and by appearance of typical LC3B-II-associated autophagosomal puncta. To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of elevated markers of autophagy induced by CPTH6 treatment, we silenced the expression of several proteins acting at different steps of autophagy. We found that the effect of CPTH6 on autophagy developed through a noncanonical mechanism that did not require beclin-1-dependent nucleation, but involved Atg-7-mediated elongation of autophagosomal membranes. Strikingly, a combined treatment of CPTH6 with late-stage autophagy inhibitors, such as chloroquine and bafilomycin A1, demonstrates that under basal condition CPTH6 reduces autophagosome turnover through an impairment of their degradation pathway, rather than enhancing autophagosome formation, as confirmed by immunofluorescence experiments. According to these results, CPTH6-induced enhancement of autophagy substrate p62 and NBR1 protein levels confirms a blockage of autophagic cargo degradation. In addition, CPTH6 inhibited autophagosome maturation and compounds having high structural similarities with CPTH6 produced similar effects on the autophagic pathway. Finally, the evidence that CPTH6 treatment decreased ?-tubulin acetylation and failed to increase autophagic markers in cells in which acetyltransferase ATAT1 expression was silenced indicates a possible role of ?-tubulin acetylation in CPTH6-induced alteration in autophagy. Overall, CPTH6 could be a valuable agent for the treatment of cancer and should be further studied as a possible antineoplastic agent.
