Novel (4R,12aS)-7-methoxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-2H-pyrido-[1',2':-4,5]-pyrazino[2,1-b][1,3]oxazine-9-carboxylic acid (L) was synthesized and characterised. The interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) with L was scrutinized by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence anisotropy, fluorescence lifetime, and molecular docking methods. The fluorescence titration experiments of BSA resulted in fluorescence quenching with the incremental addition of L. The conformational binding of L to BSA has been investigated by molecular docking analysis. The molecular probe's best conformation showed the affinity as free binding energy release of -7.93 Kcal/mol. The docking analysis confirms that ligand binds in the near vicinity of TRP-213 in the binding pocket of subdomain IIA.

Fluoroquinolones are a family of broad spectrum, systemic antibacterial agents that have been used as therapy for infections in the respiratory and alimentary tract in animals. The pharmacodynamic of this class is widely described, predominantly to the commercial drugs ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), and pefloxacin (PEF). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is the main endogenous carrier in the bovine bloodstream, being responsible for the biodistribution of different classes of molecules and drugs, including fluoroquinolones. The molecular features and interaction between BSA and fluoroquinolones are not fully described, thus, the present work enlightens the intimacy of the interaction of BSA with CIP, ENR, PEF through structural modeling and molecular docking calculation approaches. The role of key amino acid residues was assessed, indicating that the main protein binding pocket is composed by Trp-212 residue playing an important stabilization for the three fluoroquinolones through both hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, where reside the individual structural differences observed among the three fluoroquinolones and BSA. There is a descriptive protagonism of carboxyl group on the ENR interaction which traps the molecule and avoids the deep communication in the protein binding pocket, as well as the ligands CIP and PEF showed an interface amino acid residue interaction profile higher than 70%.

Studies on the specific and nonspecific interactions of biosurfactants with proteins are broadly relevant given the potential applications of biosurfactant/protein systems in pharmaceutics and cosmetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interactions of divalent counterions with the biomolecular anionic biosurfactant surfactin-C15 through molecular modeling, surface tension and dynamic light scattering (DLS), with a specific focus on its effects on biotherapeutic formulations. The conformational analysis based on a semi-empirical approach revealed that Cu2+ ions can be coordinated by three amide nitrogens belonging to the surfactin-C15 cycle and one oxygen atom of the aspartic acid from the side chain of the lipopeptide. Backbone oxygen atoms mainly involve Zn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. Subsequently, the interactions between metal-coordinated lipopeptide complexes and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were extensively investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking analysis. Fluorescence results showed that metal-lipopeptide complexes interact with BSA through a static quenching mechanism. Molecular docking results indicate that the metal-lipopeptide complexes are stabilized by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The biosurfactant-protein interaction properties herein described are of significance for metal-based drug discovery hypothesizing that the association of divalent metal ions with surfactin allows its interaction with bacteria, fungi and cancer cell membranes with effects that are similar to those of the cationic peptide antibiotics.
