The Ca(2+) cation effect on the antihypertensive molecule binding on human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by biochromatography. The thermodynamic parameters corresponding to this binding were determined for a wide range of Ca(2+) concentration (x). For the two antihypertensive molecules under study, their binding to HSA can be divided into two Ca(2+) cation concentration regions due to a HSA phase transition. This result was confirmed by an enthalpy-entropy investigation. For a low x value (below x(c)=1.6 mmol l(-1)), the HSA cavity was in an ordered solid-like state leading to an increase in the interactions between the antihypertensive drugs and the HSA cavity and consequently, a solute-HSA affinity increase. For x above x(c), the HSA cavity was in a disordered solid-like state, implying a decrease in the antihypertensive drug-HSA binding.

Early missed abortion is defined as a pregnancy of ≤ 12 weeks in which there is a cessation of life in the developing embryo or fetus, leading to its retention within the uterine cavity without being spontaneously expelled promptly. This condition is commonly observed and significantly impacts human reproductive health. This study aimed to identify key genes related to ferroptosis that could serve as novel biomarkers for early missed abortion.

Lapachol (LAP), a natural 1,4-naphthoquinone used in popular medicine in South America, is an antioxidant and antimicrobial compound in teas and infusions and used as a food additive; however, its interactive profile with the main protein carrier of compounds in the human bloodstream (human serum albumin, HSA) was not still characterized. Additionally, the impact of LAP in binding clinically drugs to albumin is still unknown. Thus, the present work describes the interaction HSA:LAP using different biophysical techniques, i.

Ergothioneine (EGT) has attracted great attention due to its extremely potent antioxidant properties, universally acknowledged as 'longevity vitamin'. In order to comprehensive understanding of its pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, the binding mechanism of EGT with human serum albumin (HSA) was clarified by cutting-edged multi-spectroscopic approaches and in silico molecular docking coupled with molecular dynamic simulation. Our fluorescence quenching results revealed that the binding of EGT to HSA was in a static quenching mode validated by the descending Stern-Volmer constant (K) values (2.

Article Synopsis
- Once inhaled, organic compounds in particulate matter (PM) enter the bloodstream, making it difficult to track their sources and assess their toxicity on health.
- This study explores the health impacts of water-soluble organic molecules (WSOMs) in urban PM by analyzing how they interact with human serum albumin (HSA), using advanced techniques like mass spectrometry and machine learning to identify their origins.
- The findings reveal that WSOMs from sources like biogenic emissions and gasoline exhaust can cause neurotoxicity and respiratory toxicity; thus, understanding these interactions is essential for developing targeted strategies to reduce health risks from PM exposure.

Drug molecules exist as complexed with serum proteins such as human serum albumin (HSA) and/or unbound free form in the blood circulation. Drugs can be effective only when they are free. Thus, it is important to understand aspects that are important for interaction between drugs and interacting proteins.
