A first-derivative spectroscopic method for the simultaneous determination of bound and unbound drug in human serum and serum albumin solution was developed. As an example, the binding characteristics of rifampicin were studied. In serum albumin solution, the rifampicin bound and unbound fractions were determined at 473.5 and 475.8 nm, respectively. For human serum, the unbound fraction was determined at 479.4 nm. The results obtained by the first-derivative spectroscopic method were in agreement with those obtained by equilibrium dialysis. The proposed method is very simple and accurate when applied to measurements of drug:protein binding. Moreover, it allows a direct measurement of the bound and unbound forms without any physical separation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012293 Rifampin A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis. Rifampin is bactericidal, and acts on both intracellular and extracellular organisms.

D012709 Serum Albumin A major protein in the BLOOD. It is important in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure and transporting large organic molecules. Plasma Albumin,Albumin, Serum
D013053 Spectrophotometry The art or process of comparing photometrically the relative intensities of the light in different parts of the spectrum.
