Human serum albumin (HSA) is the core protein in the systemic circulation and has a fundamental role in transportation and distribution of ligands in-vivo. In this study, a newly synthesized and patented anticancer dihydropyrimidine derivative; 4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-5-(3,4,5- trimethoxybenzoyl)-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (DHP) was evaluated for its binding to HSA. Ligand-HSA interaction is significant factor to attribute the toxicity or therapeutic potential to a ligand. Multi-spectroscopic studies combined with molecular modelling and molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) were conducted to understand the HSA-DHP binding mechanism. In-silico evaluation of DHP for its toxicity and metabolism was also conducted. Reduction in the binding constants was observed from 6.71 × 10 - 4.5 × 10 at increased temperatures which indicates moderate binding and the interaction was found to follow a static quenching mechanism. Further, Site I on HSA for DHP was established by competition with site specific markers and the results were supported by molecular docking. The stability of the HSA-DHP complex was established with MDS studies. Thermodynamics parameters revealed involvement of hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces for HSA-DHP binding. An in-silico evaluation of DHP for its toxicity and metabolism provided that the synthesized compound was potentially safe and could be a promising candidate for further studies.
人血清白蛋白(HSA)是全身循环中的核心蛋白,在体内配体的运输和分布中起着基本作用。在这项研究中,评估了一种新合成的专利抗癌二氢嘧啶衍生物;4-(4-乙氧基苯基)-5-(3,4,5-三甲氧基苯甲酰基)-3,4-二氢嘧啶-2(1H)-酮(DHP)与 HSA 的结合。配体-HSA 相互作用是将毒性或治疗潜力归因于配体的重要因素。进行了多光谱研究,并结合分子建模和分子动力学模拟(MDS)来了解 HSA-DHP 结合机制。还进行了 DHP 毒性和代谢的计算机评估。随着温度的升高,结合常数从 6.71×10 - 4.5×10 - 4减少,这表明中等结合,并且发现相互作用遵循静态猝灭机制。此外,通过与特定于位点的标记物竞争,确定了 HSA 上用于 DHP 的位点 I,并通过分子对接支持了该结果。通过 MDS 研究建立了 HSA-DHP 复合物的稳定性。热力学参数表明氢键和范德华力参与了 HSA-DHP 结合。DHP 毒性和代谢的计算机评估表明,合成化合物具有潜在的安全性,可能是进一步研究的有前途的候选物。
