Interaction of 4-ethyl phenyl sulfate with bovine serum albumin: Experimental and molecular docking studies.

ABSTRACT: 4-ethyl phenyl sulfate (EPS), a protein-bound uremic toxin found in serum of patients suffering from autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). As per recent advances in the field, gut metabolites after their formation goes to blood stream crosses blood brain barrier and causes neuro related problems. Increased levels of 4-EPS in human body causes anxiety in patients and its role remains elusive. 4-EPS interacts with serum albumin in human body and thus, a model study of interaction of BSA with 4-EPS is presented in support of it. Absorption spectroscopy result demonstrated decrease in bovine serum albumin (BSA) absorption upon interaction with increasing concentration of EPS in a range from 2 μM to 100 μM. Moreover, this interaction was confirmed by the fluorescence
