In this study, the binding interactions of the water-soluble camptothecin derivatives hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT), topotecan (TPT), and camptothecin quaternary salt (CPT8), to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were determined using fluorescence spectra and UV-vis spectra. The results revealed that the fluorescence of BSA was strongly quenched by the binding of camptothecin derivatives to BSA. The quenching mechanism of the camptothecin derivatives was found to be static according to the Stern-Volmer equation. The binding constant and binding sites were confirmed by fluorescence quenching spectra. The thermodynamic parameters Gibbs free energy change (ΔG<0), enthalpy change (ΔH>0), and entropy change (ΔS>0) implied that the interaction process was spontaneous and endothermic, and the interaction forces between camptothecin compounds and BSA were found to be hydrophobic. According to Föster non-radioactive energy transfer, the binding distances between 10-HCPT, TPT, and CPT8, and BSA were determined to be 1.73nm, 1.63nm, and 1.61nm, respectively. The synchronous fluorescence spectra confirmed that the camptothecin compounds cannot cause conformational changes in BSA. A rapid and sensitive method for determining the binding interaction between water-soluble camptothecin derivatives and BSA was established based on these principles of fluorescence quenching.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.

D004735 Energy Transfer The transfer of energy of a given form among different scales of motion. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed). It includes the transfer of kinetic energy and the transfer of chemical energy. The transfer of chemical energy from one molecule to another depends on proximity of molecules so it is often used as in techniques to measure distance such as the use of FORSTER RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER. Transfer, Energy
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
