Study of interaction between drug enantiomers and human serum albumin by flow injection-capillary electrophoresis frontal analysis.
Flow injection (FI)-CE coupled with frontal analysis (FA) was applied to the study of stereoselectivity binding of amlodipine (AL) to HSA. Under protein-drug binding equilibrium, the unbound concentrations of drug enantiomers were measured by plateau height. The stereoselectivity of AL binding to HSA was proved by the different free fractions of two enantiomers. In physiological phosphate solution (pH 7.4, ionic strength 0.17) when 200 microM (+/-)AL was equilibrated with 300 microM HSA, the concentration of unbound R-AL was about 1.5 times higher than that of its antipode. The binding constants of two enantiomers, KR-AL and KS-AL, were 9910-11200 and 90200-104000 M(-1), respectively. The results obtained by the method were compared with those determined by conventional equilibrium dialysis (ED)-CE and fluorescence spectra. Hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (HP-beta-CD) (10 mM) was used as a chiral selector in pH 3.7 phosphate buffer. L-tryptophan (L-try) and ketoprofen (Ket) were used as displacement reagents to investigate the binding sites of AL to HSA. A binding synergism effect between hydrochlorothiazide (QL) and AL was observed and the results suggested that QL can destroy binding equilibrium of R-AL and S-AL toward HSA and they can occupy the same binding site of HSA (site I). The reproducibility was confirmed by RSD (RSD<1.5%) of the plateau height determined by FI-CE frontal analysis (FI-CE-FA). The FI-CE-FA was a good method to study protein-drug interaction.
