Here, the interaction behavior between propyl acridones (PA) and calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) has been investigated to attain the features of the binding behavior of PA with ct-DNA, which includes specific binding sites, modes, and constants. Furthermore, the effects of PA on the conformation of ct-DNA seem to be quite significant for comprehending the medicine's mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics. The project was accomplished through means of absorbance studies, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, viscosity measurement, thermal melting, and molecular modeling techniques.

In addition, the effects of anastrozole on MCF 7 cell line have been thoroughly investigated. Fluorescence spectroscopy results have indicated that quenching mechanism of ct DNA-anastrozole are known as static quenching procedures, since the Stern-Volmer quenching constant (K) seems to face a decrease as the temperature is enhanced; this is a significant evidence for intercalative binding mode of anastrozole with ct DNA.

This study was aimed at developing a method for the preparation of Berberine nanoparticles (Nano-Ber) in order to improve its aqueous-phase solubility and its complex formation with human serum albumin (HSA) and holo-transferrin (HTF) from the viewpoint of interaction behavior. Nano-Ber was prepared with olive oil as the oil phase, Tween 80 as the surfactant and Span 60 as the co-surfactant.

The fluorescence quenching experiments showed that the intrinsic emission of HSA was considerably quenched following binding to LMF in all the systems. Furthermore, in all the interactions the maximum wavelength of HSA was slightly decreased.

The investigations were carried out by fluorescence spectroscopy, zeta potential and molecular modeling techniques under imitated physiological conditions. We were able to determine the number of binding sites, the drug binding affinity to HTF in the presence of essential and nonessential amino acids and the quenching source of HTF.
