| Abstract | This study was designed to examine the interaction of two anti-breast cancer drugs, i.e., fluoxymesterone (FLU) and cyclophosphamide (CYC), with human serum albumin (HSA) using different kinds of spectroscopic, zeta potential and molecular modeling techniques under imitated physiological conditions. The RLS technique was utilized to investigate the effect of the two anticancer drugs on changes of the protein conformation, both separately and simultaneously. Our study suggested that the enhancement in RLS intensity was attributed to the formation of a new complex between the two drugs and the protein. Both drugs demonstrated a powerful ability to quench the fluorescence of HSA, and the fluorescence quenching action was much stronger when the two drugs coexisted. The quenching mechanism was suggested to be static as confirmed by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy results. The effect of both drugs on the conformation of HSA was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. Our results revealed that the fluorescence quenching of HSA originated from the Trp and Tyr residues, and demonstrated a conformational change of HSA with the addition of both drugs. The binding distances between HSA and the drugs were estimated by the Förster theory, and it was revealed that nonradiative energy transfer from HSA to both drugs occurred with a high probability. According to CD measurements, the influence of both drugs on the secondary structure of HSA in aqueous solutions was also investigated and illustrated that the -helix content of HSA decreased with increasing drug concentration in both systems. Moreover, the zeta-potential experiments revealed that both drugs induced conformational changes on HSA. Docking studies were also performed and demonstrated that a reduction of the binding affinity between the drugs and HSA occurred in the presence of both drugs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
