title: Alterations of furosemide binding to serum albumin induced by increased level of fatty acid.
abstract: Localization of high and low affinity binding sites of furosemide in human serum albumin (HSA) as well as the influence of myristic acid on the drug binding to the albumin using fluorescence quenching method was investigated. Two independent classes of binding site in subdomain IIA of HSA structure were found. Alteration of protein affinity towards the drug and the participation of tryptophanyl and tyrosil residues in drug-albumin interaction for the determined binding sites were studied. It was concluded that association of myristic acid in its low affinity binding sites which corresponds to elevated fatty acid level in vivo, significantly decreases albumin affinity towards furosemide.
