Binding behavior of 6PPD and its oxidation product 6PPD-quinone with albumin protein: Mechanistic insights into toxicity assessment

Key Points

The research aims to understand how 6PPD and its oxidation product interact with albumin and assess their toxicity mechanisms.
Analyzed binding interactions between 6PPD/6PPD-Q and albumin.
Examined the impact of albumin binding on cellular uptake and cytotoxicity.
Investigation of reactive oxygen species formation in the presence of bound albumin.
6PPD and 6PPD-Q formed stable complexes with albumin upon interaction.
Bound albumin significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and cytotoxicity in cells.
Cytotoxicity of 6PPD and its alternatives decreased as their binding affinities to albumin increased.

Abstract

• The binding mechanisms between 6PPD/6PPD-Q and albumin were demonstrated. • 6PPD/6PPD-Q spontaneously interacted with albumin to form complexes. • Bound albumin greatly inhibited the cellular uptake of harmful 6PPD/6PPD-Q. • Binding of albumin to 6PPD/6PPD-Q reduced ROS formation and cytotoxicity. • Cytotoxicity of 6PPD and its alternatives was inversely related to their binding affinities with albumin.
