Piceatannol (PIC) displays a wide spectrum of biological activities, such as antioxidation, antibacterial activity and anti-inflammation, but the biochemical and molecular mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, the interaction of PIC with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular simulation. The effects of PIC on BSA non-enzymatic glycosylation, fibrillation, thermal stability, and structure information were also studied. The results showed that the formation of PIC-BSA complex by mainly hydrogen-bonding forces resulted in the conformational changes of protein. PIC inhibited the formation of β-sheets structures of BSA. BSA still maintained the esterase-like good activity in the presence of PIC. In addition, PIC significantly reduced the degree of BSA glycosylation. These results provided a basis for the molecular interaction between PIC and protein, and suggested the potential effect of PIC in preventing the progression of diabetes mellitus.
白皮杉醇(PIC)具有广泛的生物活性,如抗氧化、抗菌活性和抗炎作用,但生化和分子机制尚不完全清楚。本研究采用荧光光谱法、紫外可见吸收光谱法、圆二色光谱法和分子模拟法研究了 PIC 与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的相互作用。还研究了 PIC 对 BSA 非酶糖化、聚集、热稳定性和结构信息的影响。结果表明,PIC 通过氢键主要形成 PIC-BSA 复合物,导致蛋白质构象发生变化。PIC 抑制了 BSA 的β-折叠结构的形成。在 PIC 的存在下,BSA 仍然保持良好的酯酶样活性。此外,PIC 显著降低了 BSA 的糖化程度。这些结果为 PIC 与蛋白质之间的分子相互作用提供了依据,并提示 PIC 在预防糖尿病进展方面的潜在作用。
