Human serum albumin (HSA) is a globular and monomeric protein in plasma that transports many drugs and compounds. Binding of some drugs to HSA can lead to changes in its stability and biological function. We investigated the binding interactions between erlotinib hydrochloride (Erlo) and HSA. Erlo is used to treat lung, pancreatic, and some other cancers. Experimental data showed that the fluorescence emission of the protein was quenched by Erlo using a static quenching mechanism. The calculation of the binding constant, K (1.57 × 10 M at 300 K), confirmed the existence of a moderate binding interaction between Erlo and HSA. The interaction was enthalpy driven, spontaneous, and exothermic. The calculated thermodynamic parameters in agreement with simulation and molecular docking data showed that van der Waals and hydrogen bond forces played an important role in the interaction process. Molecular docking results indicated that Erlo has more affinity to bind to subdomain IIA (site I) of HSA. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis showed that the protein is stable in the presence of Erlo under simulation conditions.
人血清白蛋白(HSA)是血浆中的球形和单体蛋白,可转运许多药物和化合物。一些药物与 HSA 的结合会导致其稳定性和生物学功能发生变化。我们研究了盐酸厄洛替尼(Erlo)与 HSA 之间的结合相互作用。Erlo 用于治疗肺癌、胰腺癌和一些其他癌症。实验数据表明,蛋白质的荧光发射被 Erlo 通过静态猝灭机制猝灭。结合常数 K(300 K 时为 1.57×10 M)的计算证实了 Erlo 和 HSA 之间存在中等强度的结合相互作用。该相互作用是焓驱动的、自发的和放热的。计算得到的热力学参数与模拟和分子对接数据一致,表明范德华力和氢键在相互作用过程中发挥了重要作用。分子对接结果表明,Erlo 与 HSA 的亚域 IIA(位点 I)具有更高的结合亲和力。分子动力学模拟分析表明,在模拟条件下,蛋白质在存在 Erlo 的情况下是稳定的。
