Abstract

Background: The body needs to maintain a firm balance between the inducers and inhibitors of angiogenesis, the process of proliferation of blood vessels from pre-existing ones. Human angiogenin (hAng), being a potent inducer of angiogenesis, is a cause of tumor cell proliferation, therefore its inhibition becomes a vital area of research. Aminoglycosides are linked ring systems consisting of amino sugars and an aminocyclitol ring and are in use in clinical practices for a long time. These compounds have found clinical uses as antibacterial agents that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. Objective: Gentamycin C1, Kanamycin A, Neomycin B, Paromomycin I, and Streptomycin A are commonly used aminoglycoside antibiotics that have been used for the present study. Among these, Neomycin has reported inhibitory activity against angiogenin-induced angiogenesis on the chicken chorioallantoic membrane. This study focuses on the thermodynamic parameters involved in the interactions of these antibiotics with hAng. Methods: Agarose gel-based assay, Fluorescence quenching studies and Docking studies. Results: Anti-ribonucleolytic effect of the antibiotics was observed qualitatively using an agarose gelbased assay, which shows that Neomycin exhibits the most efficient inhibition of hAng. Fluorescence quenching studies at different temperatures, using Stern-Volmer and van’t Hoff equations provide information about the thermodynamics of binding, which furthermore highlights the higher binding constant of Neomycin. Docking studies showed that the antibiotics preferably interact with the nuclear translocation site, except Streptomycin, which shows affinity towards the ribonucleolytic site of the protein with very less affinity value. Conclusion: The study has shown the highly spontaneous formation of Neomycin-hAng complex, giving an exothermic reaction with increase in the degree of freedom of the protein-ligand complex.
