Sažetak

The wet-lab techniques (fluorimetry and spectrophotometry), along with computational techniques (molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation), were applied to re-examine the association of an anticancer drug, regorafenib (REG) with human serum albumin (HSA). The REG-induced protein fluorescence quenching was characterized as static quenching based on a decrement in the KSV (Stern-Volmer constant) with increasing temperature and hyperchromic effect in the absorption spectra. The REG–HSA complex (Ka = 0.63 – 1.17 × 105 M–1) was stabilized by hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions in combination with hydrogen bonds, as revealed by thermodynamic data
(ΔrS° = +17.17 J mol–1 K–1 and ΔrH° = –23.00 kJ mol–1), and further supported by molecular docking assessment. Microenvironmental fluctuations around HSA fluorophores and better protein stability against thermal stress were evident due to REG-HSA complexation. Accessibility of both Sudlow's Sites I and II but priority for Site I of the protein for REG was inferred by the competitive ligand displacement and molecular docking assessments. MD simulation results supported the stability of the complex.
