The interaction of transresveratrol (TRES) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated by ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic methods and molecular modeling techniques. The fluorescence results show that the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA is quenched by TRES through a static quenching procedure. The binding constants of TRES with BSA at 292, 297 and 302 K are calculated as10.22×104,8.71×104, and7.59×104 L mol−1, respectively, and corresponding numbers of binding sites are approximately equal to unity. The thermodynamic parameters ΔHand ΔSare estimated to be −21.82 kJ mol−1and +21.15 J mol−1 K−1, which indicates that the interaction of TRES with BSA is driven mainly by hydrophobic forces and there are also hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. The competitive experiments suggest that the binding site of TRES to BSA is probably located on site II. The results of infrared spectra show that the binding of TRES with BSA leads to conformational changes of BSA, and the binding stabilizes theα-helix andβ-sheet at the cost of a corresponding loss in theβ-turn structure of BSA. The results of molecular modeling calculation clarify the binding mode and the binding sites which are in good accordance with the experiment results.

The development of ionic liquids based on active pharmaceutical ingredients (API-ILs) is a possible solution to some of the problems of solid and/or hydrophobic drugs such as low solubility and bioavailability, polymorphism and an alternative route of administration could be suggested as compared to the classical drug. Here, we report for the first time the synthesis and detailed characterization of a series of ILs containing a cation amino acid esters and anion ketoprofen (KETO-ILs). The affinity and the binding mode of the KETO-ILs to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were assessed using fluorescence spectroscopy. All compounds bind in a distance not longer than 6.14 nm to the BSA fluorophores. The estimated binding constants (KA) are in order of 105 L mol−1, which is indicative of strong drug or IL-BSA interactions. With respect to the ketoprofen-BSA system, a stronger affinity of the ILs containing l-LeuOEt, l-ValOBu, and l-ValOEt cation towards BSA is clearly seen. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy experiments have shown that all studied compounds induced a rearrangement of the protein molecule upon binding, which is consistent with the suggested static mechanism of BSA fluorescence quenching and formation of complexes between BSA and the drugs. All tested compounds were safe for macrophages.

The interaction between ketoprofen and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by molecular simulation, fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy methods under the simulated physiological conditions. Molecular simulation method performed to reveal the possible binding mode or mechanism suggested the binding forces between ketoprofen and BSA were mainly hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond, which was in agreement with the thermodynamic study (ΔHΦand ΔSΦwere calculated to be 74.514 kJ/mol and 333.98 J/mol · K). The binding constants of ketoprofen and BSA at different temperatures (298, 310 and 318 K) were calculated according to the data obtained from fluorescence spectra and the results indicated that ketoprofen had strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via a combination of static and dynamic quenching. Meanwhile, the changes of the conformation of BSA caused by ketoprofen were qualitatively analyzed with the UV-vis and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. The distance between ketoprofen and tryptophan residue in BSA was calculated to be 1.58 nm.

The binding reaction of Zn(II) complex [Zn(C8H10N)2Cl2] with bovine serum albumin(BSA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy under the simulative physiological conditions. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA could be quenched by Zn(II) complex. The quenching mechanism was suggested as static quenching according to the Stern–Volmer equation. The binding constants Kband the number of binding sites n were calculated. The Zn(II) complex exhibit good binding propensity to bovine serum albumin having relatively high binding constant values. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces play a major role in BSA-Zn(II) complex association. The process of binding was spontaneous, in which Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) was negative.
