RESUMO

In the formulation of efficient drug delivery systems, it is essential to unravel the structural and dynamical aspects of the drug's interaction with biological membranes. This has been done for the anticancer drug-membrane system comprising doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), a water-soluble anticancer drug, and the micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the latter serving as a useful mimic for membrane proteins. Using a multimodal NMR approach involving 1H, 2H, and 13C as probe nuclei and through the determination of chemical shifts, spin-relaxation, nuclear Overhauser enhancements (NOE), and translational self-diffusion (SD), the binding characteristics of the DOX with SDS have been determined. The perturbation to 13C chemical shifts of SDS indicate the penetration of DOX into the SDS micelle, which is further revealed by 1H-1H NOESY and SD measurements. 2H spin-relaxation measurements and their analysis using a two-step model show DOX induced SDS micellar volume changes, which determine the correlation times involved in the DOX-SDS mobility.

RESUMO

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics is a powerful analytical technique and a tool which has unique characteristics and capabilities for the evaluation of a number of biochemicals/metabolites of cancer and other disease processes that are present in biofluids (urine and blood) and tissues. The potential of NMR metabolomics in prostate cancer (PCa) has been explored by researchers and its usefulness has been documented. A large number of metabolites such as citrate, choline, and sarcosine were detected by NMR metabolomics from biofluids and tissues related to PCa and their levels were compared with controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The changes in the levels of these metabolites aid in the diagnosis and help to understand the dysregulated metabolic pathways in PCa. We review recent studies on in vitro and ex vivo NMR spectroscopy-based PCa metabolomics and its possible role as a diagnostic tool.

RESUMO

Molecular level insights on protein-ionic liquid (P-IL) interactions are beneficial for assessing protein stability, binding and dynamics. In the present work, interactions of ILs, namely, 1-butyl 3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate (IL1), 1-butyl 3-methylimidazolium octyl sulfate (IL2) and 1-butyl 3-methylimidazolium chloride (IL3) with hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) protein were investigated using solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. To ascertain the binding and dynamics from the perspective of both protein and IL, various ligand based NMR approaches such as selective and non-selective nuclear spin-relaxation (R1SEL and R1NS), saturation transfer difference (STD), difference of inversion recovery rate with and without target irradiation (DIRECTION), 35Cl line-shape and spin-relaxation, and protein back bone amide chemical shift perturbations (CSPs) from 1H-15N HSQC were utilized. Among the ILs investigated, IL2 experiences significant interaction relative to those of IL1 and IL3, as revealed by the combined R1SEL and R1NS analysis, which is further supported by STD NMR. CSP analyses of 1H-15N HSQC spectra of aqueous P-IL mixtures enabled to identify the potential binding sites of ILs with HEWL. Whereas, 15N longitudinal (R1) and transverse (R2) spin-relaxation rates and 15N{1H} heteronuclear nuclear Overhauser effect (hetNOE) data subjected to the model free analysis for IL2 yielded the rotational correlation times and order parameters of various residues of HEWL. Furthermore, the results could discern the nature of interactions between studied ILs and HEWL in terms of specific and non-specific interactions.

RESUMO

The interaction of ionic liquid (IL) with protein is now becoming important as it stabilizes the protein due to the selective cation-anion combination of the IL. The binding and dynamics of the green solvents such as imidazole alkyl sulfate based ILs, viz., 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium alkyl [where alkyl = hydrogen, methyl, octyl and dodecyl] sulfate, with two distinct model proteins, namely human serum albumin (HSA) and collagen in aqueous solution, have been investigated with the aid of solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Interactions of ILs with HSA and collagen have been probed at the atomistic level through NMR determined parameters, such as 1H line-shapes, selective and non-selective spin-lattice relaxation times (T1SEL & T1NS) and spin-spin relaxation times (T2). Furthermore, saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR has been used to monitor the spatial proximities of ILs with HSA and collagen. The results indicate that despite the type of protein (HSA or collagen), STD NMR of protein-IL mixtures exhibits responses only from the anionic part of the selected ILs. Also, a combination of T1SEL and T1NS measurements indicates the genuine protein-IL interaction. Furthermore, it was observed that the global binding affinity between IL and proteins is enhanced with an increase in alkyl chain length of the anionic portion of the IL. The present study thus highlights the role of the anionic part of ILs in the interaction with the selected proteins. The outcome of the present study provides an opportunity to design new ILs with a judicious choice of anionic and cationic parts for targeted functionalities.

RESUMO

Physicochemical studies on aqueous mixtures of ionic liquids (ILs) and reverse pluronics are limited. Self-aggregation dynamics and microstructure of a surface-active IL (SAIL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octylsulfate [C4mim] [C8OSO3], in the presence of a reverse pluronic, PO8EO22PO8 (known as 10R5), were studied using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) methods. Also, cryo-/freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy was employed to determine the microstructures of SAIL/10R5 mixtures. The ITC and NMR results revealed facilitation of SAIL aggregation in the presence of 10R5 forming mixed aggregates as well as free SAIL micelles. 2H spin relaxation rate data pointed out the onset of slow dynamics of the aqueous SAIL/10R5 mixture with an increase in either the former or the latter. Globular morphologies of the mixed species as well as their individual components were corroborated from the measurements. The preferential location of interaction of the SAIL with the 10R5 was identified from 13C NMR chemical shift findings to be in the interfacial region of the assembled SAIL. The formed species were mixed interacted aggregates but not mixed micelles that arise from mixed surfactants. The physicochemical information acquired herein would enrich the literature on the 10R5/SAIL mixed microheterogeneous systems having importance in the making of useful green drug carrier systems and templates for the synthesis of nanomaterials.

RESUMO

Subtle changes in the microstructure and dynamics of the triblock copolymer L121, (ethylene oxide)5 (propylene oxide)68 (ethylene oxide)5i.e., E5P68E5, and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) system in aqueous medium were investigated using high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) methods. NMR self-diffusion measurements helped us to understand the nature of binding of SDS with L121, and the formation of their mixed aggregates. These results showed that even at low [SDS] (∼2 mM), the addition of L121 stabilized the dynamics of SDS. Furthermore, the increase in [SDS] resulted in progressive changes in the diffusion behavior of both SDS and L121. 13C chemical shift analysis revealed that preferential binding of L121 occurred on the SDS micelle surface. Deuterium (2H) NMR spin-relaxation data evidenced that the formed mixed aggregates were non-spherical in terms of relaxation rate changes, and slowed the dynamics. The rotational correlation times of mixed aggregates were estimated from EPR analysis. A SANS study indicated the presence of uni- and multi-lamellar vesicles of L121 at low [SDS]. The vesicles transformed to mixed L121-SDS micelles in the presence of a higher [SDS]. This was supported by the measurements of 2H NMR spin-relaxation and EPR rotational correlation times.

RESUMO

Interaction of small molecules with collagen has far reaching consequences in biological and industrial processes. The interaction between collagen and selected polyphenols, viz., gallic acid (GA), pyrogallol (PG), catechin (CA), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), has been investigated by various solution NMR measurements, viz., (1)H and (13)C chemical shifts (δH and δC), (1)H nonselective spin-lattice relaxation times (T1NS) and selective spin-lattice relaxation times (T1SEL), as well as spin-spin relaxation times (T2). Furthermore, we have employed saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR method to monitor the site of GA, CA, PG, and EGCG which are in close proximity to collagen. It is found that -COOH group of GA provides an important contribution for the interaction of GA with collagen, as evidenced from (13)C analysis, while PG, which is devoid of -COOH group in comparison to GA, does not show any significant interaction with collagen. STD NMR data indicates that the resonances of A-ring (H2', H5' and H6') and C-ring (H6 and H8) protons of CA, and A-ring (H2' and H6'), C-ring (H6 and H8), and D-ring (H2″and H6″) protons of EGCG persist in the spectra, demonstrating that these protons are in spatial proximity to collagen, which is further validated by independent proton spin-relaxation measurement and analysis. The selective (1)H T1 measurements of polyphenols in the presence of protein at various concentrations have enabled us to determine their binding affinities with collagen. EGCG exhibits high binding affinity with collagen followed by CA, GA, and PG. Further, NMR results propose that presence of gallic acid moiety in a small molecule increases its affinity with collagen. Our experimental findings provide molecular insights on the binding of collagen and plant polyphenols.
