Investigation of properties of the resveratrol-beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex by drug-protein interaction spectra and molecular modeling / 药学学报

The supramolecular inclusion properties of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and resveratrol (Res) were investigated using drug-protein interaction spectroscopy method. The differences between the results of interaction spectroscopy method and the results of classical method were compared. The total energy of the stable inclusion of cyclodextrin-resveratrol was calculated by Gaussian theory calculation. The stable inclusions in the process of interaction between resveratrol/inclusion complex and bovine lactgoferrin (BLF) were studied by molecular modeling. The results showed that the interaction spectroscopy method could explain the property of the inclusion in a more sensitive manner, it also interpreted the conveying mechanism of BLF binding with inclusion complex. The molecular modeling result showed consistent results with Gaussian theory calculation; both of the two methods obtained the stable configuration of beta-CD-Res inclusion. The relevant result provided an experimental consequence for the pharmacology research of beta-cyclodextrin-resveratrol inclusion complex as well as offering a new reference to the future research of supramolecular inclusion compound.

Study on honeysuckle active ingredients and comparative analysis on their interactive mechanisms with different proteins / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze and compare molecular mechanisms of active ingredients of honeysuckle (chlorogenic acid, CGA) with bovine lactoferrin (BLF) or bovine serum albumin (BSA).</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The spectral experiment and the computer analog technology were combined to determine the binding parameters, energy transfer parameters and thermodynamic functions between CGA and proteins, study the molecular mechanism, and compare the differences in interactive mechanism between CGA and BLF or BSA.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The interactive mechanism between CGA and BLF or BSA was a dynamic molecular mechanism, whereas the static quenching mechanism existed between the interaction of CGA and BSA, with differences in the bonding intensity due to difference temperature. The binding distance r between CGA and BLF/BSA was very short, indicating the phenomenon of energy transfer. The results of the molecular modeling showed that the main interaction force between CGA and BLF or BSA was hydrogen bonds, together with Van der Waals' forces and hydrophobic effect.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The computer analog shows consistent results with spectral experiment.</p>
