Theaflavin is a kind of multi-pharmacological and health beneficial black tea factor. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms by which theaflavin interacts with glycosylated and non-glycosylated serum albumins and compares their binding properties. Fluorescence and ultraviolet spectra indicated that theaflavin interacted with native and glycated human serum albumin through a static quenching mechanism and had a higher degree of quenching of human serum albumin. The thermodynamic parameters revealed that the combinations of theaflavin with native and glycated human serum albumin were a spontaneous endothermic reaction, and the hydrophobic force was a major driving force in the interaction process. Zeta potential, particle size, synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism further clarified the effect of theaflavin on the conformation of human serum albumin structure were more pronounced. In addition, site competition experiments and molecular docking technique confirmed that the binding sites of theaflavin on both native and glycated human serum albumin were bound at site II. This study had investigated the effects of glycation on the binding of HSA with polyphenols and the potential nutriology significance of these effects.

The interactions of novel anti-cancer therapeutic agents with the different plasma and tissue components, specifically serum albumins, have lately gained considerable attention due to the significant influence of such interactions on the pharmacokinetics and/or -dynamics of this important class of therapeutics. Nazartinib (EGF 816; NAZ) is a new anti-cancer candidate proposed as a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is being developed and clinically tested for the management of non-small cell lung cancer. The current study aimed to characterize the interaction between NAZ and human serum albumin (HSA) using experimental and theoretical approaches. Experimental results of fluorescence quenching of HSA induced by NAZ revealed the development of a statically formed complex between NAZ and HSA. Interpretation of the observed fluorescence data using Stern–Volmer, Lineweaver–Burk and double-log formulae resulted in binding constants for HSA-NAZ complex in the range of (2.34–2.81) × 10 4 M –1 over the studied temperatures. These computed values were further used to elucidate thermodynamic attributes of the interaction, which showed that NAZ spontaneously binds to HSA with a postulated electrostatic force-driven interaction. This was further verified by theoretical examination of the NAZ docking on the HSA surface that revealed an HSA-NAZ complex where NAZ is bound to HSA Sudlow site I driven by hydrogen bonding in addition to electrostatic forces in the form of pi-H bond. The HSA binding pocket for NAZ was shown to encompass ARG 257, ARG 222, LYS 199 and GLU 292 with a total binding energy of −25.59 kJ mol –1 .

The interaction of the immobilized triazine dye Cibacron Blue 3G-A with rat, rabbit, sheep, goat, bovine and human serum albumins was studied by affinity gel electrophoresis. Dissociation constants were estimated in each instance and showed human serum albumin to have a significantly higher affinity for the dye than did albumin from any other species. Pretreatment of the defatted proteins with bilirubin (3 mol of bilirubin/mol of protein) did not increase the dissociation constants of the serum albumins, whereas pretreatment with palmitate (7 mol of palmitate/mol of protein) increased the dissociation constant in all cases: 3-fold for human serum albumin, 15-fold for other serum albumins. Increasing the bilirubin/albumin ratio (to 7:1) did not affect the dissociation constant of the albumins studied. Decreasing the palmitate/albumin ratio decreased the dissociation constant for human serum albumin, but did not affect those of bovine and rat albumins. Altering the chain length of the presaturating fatty acid dramatically changed the dissociation constant of both human and bovine serum albumins. Butyrate, hexanoate, octanoate and decanoate did not significantly influence the dissociation constants of bovine and human serum albumins for Cibacron Blue, whereas laurate, myristate and palmitate greatly increased the dissociation constant. These data are discussed in relationship to the behaviour of albumins during dye--agarose column chromatography. In Addendum the effect of nucleotide presaturation on the interaction between Bacillus stearothermophilus 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and the immobilized triazine dyes Cibacron Blue 3G-A and Procion Red HE-3B was examined, and the implications for dye--ligand chromatography are discussed.

The interaction between loureirin B (Lour B) and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by fluorescence and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. Experimental results indicated that loureirin B had a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a dynamic quenching procedure. The fluorescence quenching data revealed that the quenching constants (KSV) 2.68×104, 3.30×104and 4.10×104l/mol at 300, 310 and 320 K, respectively. Based on the thermodynamic parameters obtained, the positive values of enthalpy change ΔH and entropy change ΔS suggested that hydrophobic forces played a major role in the interaction of Lour B with HSA. According to Förster theory of energy transfer, the distancerbetween HSA and Lour B was calculated to be 2.85 nm. Furthermore, the effect of Lour B on the conformation of HSA was analyzed by synchronous fluorescence and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra.

Abstract. Continuously monitoring cell cultures is essential for both controlling critical parameters and improving understanding of key processes. An ideal technique in this context is surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, which essentially exploits changes in the angle of incident light that occur when molecules bind to a surface. It provides the ability to monitor real-time changes in small concentrations of various molecules, with no need for additional labels or sample preparation. Here we present an SPR-based immunoassay for monitoring concentrations of human serum albumin (HSA), and compare its sensitivity when used in conjunction with a Biacore platform and the cheaper, smaller liSPR system. In conjunction with either system, the immunoassay can detect HSA (a hepatocyte viability marker) at concentrations typically present in three-dimensional hepatocyte cultures mimicking the liver used to evaluate effects of drug candidates before exposure to humans or animals. Furthermore, in conjunction with the liSPR system, it is sufficiently sensitive to measure the much lower HSA levels present in skin–hepatocyte co-cultures.
