Consumption of Cassia occidentalis (CO) seeds has been associated with the hepatomyoencephalopathy (HME) in children. Recently, we have characterized the toxic anthraquinones (AQs) such as Emodin, Rhein, Aloe-emodin, Chrysophanol and Physcion in CO seeds and detected these moieties in the bio fluids of CO poisoning cases. As AQs were detected in the serum of HME patients, their interaction with key biomolecules including protein, DNA and glutathione (GSH) is imperative. In this regard, we have previously reported the interaction of these AQs with serum albumin protein and their subsequent biological effects. However, the interaction of these AQs with DNA and GSH remained unexplored. In the present work, we have studied the binding of these AQs of CO seeds with DNA and GSH by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectral analysis, molecular docking, and biochemical studies. Results indicated a higher binding affinity for Emodin (Ka = 3.854 × 104 L mol-1 S-1), Aloe-emodin (Ka = 0.961 × 104 L mol-1 S-1) and Rhein (Ka = 0.034 × 104 L mol-1 S-1) towards calf thymus DNA may be associated with their higher cytotoxicity. Alternatively, Physcion and Chrysophanol which showed less cytotoxicity in our earlier studies exhibited very low DNA binding. The binding pattern of all these AQs is consistent with the in-silico data. Absorption spectroscopy studies indicated the possible formation of GSH conjugate with Aloe-emodin and Physcion. Further biochemical measurement of GSH and GSSG (Glutathione disulfide) following incubation with AQs indicated that Aloe-emodin (28%) and Rhein (30%) oxidizes GSH to GSSG more as compared to other AQs. Taken together, these results suggest that the higher cytotoxicity of Rhein, Emodin and Aloe-emodin may be attributed to their potent DNA and GSH binding affinity.
