title: Equilibrium binding of anthracycline cytostatics to serum albumin and small unilamellar phospholipid vesicles as measured by gel filtration.
abstract: A Sephadex G-200 gel filtration method was used to measure directly the equilibrium binding of five important anthracycline analogs to serum albumin. The order of the overall binding constant (K) in a 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Hepes buffer (pH 7.45) was doxorubicin < daunorubicin < 4-demethoxydaunorubicin approximately 13-dihydro-4'-deoxy-4'-iododoxorubicin < 4'-deoxy-4'-iododoxorubicin for human serum albumin (K = 2.67 +/- 0.07 mM(-1) to 24.5 +/- 3.1 mM[-1]) and bovine serum albumin (K = 1.36 +/- 0.25 mM(-1) to 48.4 +/- 5.2 mM[-1]). Data were given on the pH-dependence of K. The anthracycline-albumin association reaction was compared with measurements of drug partitioning into unilamellar phospholipid membranes and octanol. The results provide important new data required for a systematic kinetic analysis of anthracycline transport in tumor cells under serum conditions in a biological system.
