Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxic mycotoxin. Roasting of OTA-contaminated coffee results in the formation of 2′R-ochratoxin A (2′R-OTA), which appears in the blood of coffee drinkers. Human serum albumin (HSA) binds 2′R-OTA (and OTA) with high affinity; therefore, albumin may influence the tissue uptake and elimination of ochratoxins. We aimed to investigate the binding site of 2′R-OTA (verses OTA) in HSA and the displacing effects of site markers to explore which molecules can interfere with its albumin-binding. Affinity of 2′R-OTA toward albumins from various species (human, bovine, porcine and rat) was tested to evaluate the interspecies differences regarding 2′R-OTA-albumin interaction. Thermodynamic studies were performed to give a deeper insight into the molecular background of the complex formation. Besides fluorescence spectroscopic and modeling studies, effects of HSA, and fetal bovine serum on the cytotoxicity of 2′R-OTA and OTA were tested in MDCK kidney cell line in order to demonstrate the influence of albumin-binding on the cellular uptake of ochratoxins. Site markers displaced more effectively 2′R-OTA than OTA from HSA. Fluorescence and binding constants of 2′R-OTA-albumin and OTA-albumin complexes showed different tendencies. Albumin significantly decreased the cytotoxicity of ochratoxins. 2′R-OTA, even at sub-toxic concentrations, increased the toxic action of OTA.

An oscillatory differential method of local diagnostics of superconductors is applied to the analysis of the trapped magnetic flux and the effective demagnetization factor in YBCO samples. Regular steps over certain intervals of the external field are observed on the magnetic-field dependence of these parameters. It is demonstrated that, as the external field increases, crystallites in a sample are decomposed into sub- and nanocrystallites with a size much less than the penetration depth [Formula: see text] of the magnetic field. The first critical thermodynamic magnetic fields of sub- and nanocrystallites are determined. These results allow one to reveal the interaction mechanism between magnetic and crystalline microstructures of superconductors and provide a deeper insight into the physical processes that occur in high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs) in a magnetic field.
