Displacement by anionic drugs of endogenous ligands bound to albumin in uremic serum.
Impaired binding of anionic drugs to serum albumin in patients with uremia is thought to be due to the accumulation of endogenous substances that bind to albumin. In this study the displacement by the anionic drugs diazepam, warfarin, and salicylic acid, which are known to be representative drugs for the binding sites on the albumin molecule, of several endogenous ligands that bind to albumin in uremic serum was examined. The free fractions of the ligands bound to albumin were separated by ultrafiltration in the presence and the absence of test drugs and assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Diazepam displaced indoxyl sulfate (IS), hippuric acid (HA), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and warfarin displaced IS, HA, ISAA, and 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropanoic acid from serum albumin. However, salicylic acid did not displace the substance examined. The methods reported here are useful for determining the binding sites of the endogenous ligands on albumin and to clarify the drug-ligand interaction on albumin molecule in uremic serum.
