title: Binding of spin-labeled clofibrate to lipoproteins.
abstract: The binding of spin-labeled clofibrate to native and partially delipidated lipoproteins is a rapid, linear and non-saturable process observed up to the critical micellar concentration of the drug. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) display a lower affinity for the drug than very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) relative to their respective specific volume. Unlike various lipophilic drugs, uptake of spin-labeled clofibrate does not correlate with lipoprotein lipid volume. Spin-labeled clofibrate binding to LDL is enhanced when the temperature increases above 25 degrees C. The binding to HDL and VLDL is less temperature-sensitive. The simulation of the ESR spectra has shown that two types of motion should be superimposed for the spin-labeled clofibrate in HDL, in LDL or in partially delipidated LDL. From 40 down to 25 degrees C for HDL and LDL, a fast anisotropic motion is observed. From 25 degrees C down to 5 degrees C, a two-component motion takes place, including a slow isotropic motion of the probe tumbling in a highly hydrophobic environment. Interactions of spin-labeled clofibrate with the apolipoproteins in HDL and LDL are assumed from the emergence of this strongly immobilized component observed when the temperature decreases. In contrast, for spin-labeled clofibrate inserted in the apolar core of VLDL, ESR shows only one component in the whole temperature range (5-40 degrees C). The location of the spin-labeled drug inside the various lipoprotein particles is discussed as a function of temperature.
