Abstract
Ziprasidone (Zi) is a 2-indolone drug that has been recommended as first-line medication for schizophrenic treatment by major guides of China and America. In this paper, the binding mode of Zi and calf thymus (ctDNA) was investigated for the first time. Fluorescence spectrum studies preliminary verified that Zi bound to groove region of ctDNA. UV–vis spectra showed obvious hyperchromicity at 260 nm for ctDNA-Zi system compared to the absorption sum of ctDNA and Zi, which also could be concluded that the interaction mode of Zi to ctDNA was probably groove binding. In 1H NMR of Zi, the addition of ctDNA had no influence on its spectrum, and the viscosity of ctDNA was also unaffected by the addition of Zi. These phenomenon proved once again that Zi interacted with ctDNA at groove region. Besides, molecular docking results reflected that Zi indeed bound to minor groove region of ctDNA with hydrogen bonds as main acting force. This study elaborated detailedly the groove binding mode of antipsychotic drug Zi interacting with ctDNA, and provided effective information for the design and development of new-type antipsychotic drugs.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
