Abstract:
:The binding of two anthranilic acid derivatives, glafenic and floctafenic acids, to human erythrocytes and plasma proteins has been investigated in vitro by equilibrium dialysis. Despite their close chemical structures it was shown that the binding of the two compounds to serum albumin, lipoproteins, and erythrocytes was dramatically different both in quality and quantity. Using various techniques including fluorometry and circular dichroism, it was shown that glafenic acid binds to the human serum albumin (HSA) warfarin/azapropazone site and that floctafenic acid binds to both warfarin/azapropazone and benzodiazepine sites. Glafenic acid is strongly bound to HSA with n = 1, k = 2.4 X 10(6) liters/mol and to erythrocytes with N = 12.4 mumol/liter, K = 1.7 X 10(6) liters/mol. Floctafenic acid is bound with a weaker affinity to HSA, n = 2, k = 0.3 X 10(6) liters/mol and to erythrocytes, N = 2900 mumol/liter and K = 0.007 X 10(6) liters/mol.
