title: A flow-injection ultrafiltration sampling chemiluminescence system for on-line determination of drug-protein interaction.
abstract: A flow-injection ultrafiltration sampling chemiluminescence system for on-line determination of cimetidine-bovine serum albumin (BSA) interaction is proposed in this paper. Cimetidine can be oxidized by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and sensitized by fluorescein to produce high chemiluminescence emission in basic media. The concentration of cimetidine is linear with the CL intensity in the range 3 x 10(-7) - 1 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 1 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (3 sigma). The drug and protein were mixed in different molar ratios in 0.067 mol L(-1) phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, and incubated at 37 degrees C in a water bath. The ultrafiltration probe was utilized to sample the mixed solution at a flow rate of 5 micro L min(-1). The data obtained by the proposed ultrafiltration flow-injection chemiluminescence method was analyzed with Scrathard analysis and a Klotz plot. The estimated association constant ( K) and the number of the binding site ( n) on one molecule of BSA by Scrathard analysis and Klotz plot were 3.15 x 10(4) L mol(-1) and 0.95, 3.25 x 10(4) L mol(-1) and 0.92, respectively. The proposed system proved that flow-injection chemiluminescence analysis coupled with on-line ultrafiltration sampling is a simple and reliable technique for the study of drug-protein interaction.
