Spectroscopic and molecular docking studies on binding interactions of camptothecin drugs with bovine serum albumin
2025
Overview
This study investigates the binding interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and camptothecin (CPT) drugs (camptothecin, 10-hydroxycamptothecin, topotecan, and irinotecan) using UV–Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking techniques. The fluorescence quenching of BSA by CPT drugs follows a static mechanism, with binding constants (K

(irinotecan), demonstrating significant drug binding selectivity. Thermodynamic analysis reveals distinct interaction mechanisms: topotecan binding is driven by hydrogen bonding (ΔH = − 10.96 kJ·mol

). Molecular docking confirms preferential binding at Sudlow site I of BSA, with hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding as the primary driving forces. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of CPT-BSA interactions, offering valuable insights for the design of albumin-based drug delivery systems with optimized pharmacokinetic profiles.
