Phenytoin binding to human albumin. 1979

M Lecomte, and R Zini, and P d'Athis, and J P Tillement

Binding of phenytoin to human plasma proteins and to human serum albumin is studied using equilibrium dialysis method at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C. Phenytoin is mainly bound to albumin, the percentage of bound drug being constant over a wide range of total drug concentrations. Calculation of the drug binding parameters show a low affinity, k = 745 M-1, and a high number of binding sites, n = 8. Palmitic acid and some acidic drugs, warfarin and phenylbutazone added to human serum albumin, decreased phenytoin binding in a non competitive way. Basic and non-ionizable drugs, on the other hand, did not modify phenytoin binding.

D007099 Imipramine The prototypical tricyclic antidepressant. It has been used in major depression, dysthymia, bipolar depression, attention-deficit disorders, agoraphobia, and panic disorders. It has less sedative effect than some other members of this therapeutic group. Imidobenzyle,Imizin,4,4'-Methylenebis(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid)-3-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo(b,f)azepin-5-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-1-propanamine (1:2),Imipramine Hydrochloride,Imipramine Monohydrochloride,Imipramine Pamoate,Janimine,Melipramine,Norchlorimipramine,Pryleugan,Tofranil
D010169 Palmitic Acids A group of 16-carbon fatty acids that contain no double bonds. Acids, Palmitic
D010653 Phenylbutazone A butyl-diphenyl-pyrazolidinedione that has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic activities. It has been used in ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS; and REACTIVE ARTHRITIS. Diphenylbutazone,Fenilbutazon,Butacote,Butadion,Butadione,Butapirazol,Butapyrazole,Butazolidin
D010672 Phenytoin An anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant. The mechanism of therapeutic action is not clear, although several cellular actions have been described including effects on ion channels, active transport, and general membrane stabilization. The mechanism of its muscle relaxant effect appears to involve a reduction in the sensitivity of muscle spindles to stretch. Phenytoin has been proposed for several other therapeutic uses, but its use has been limited by its many adverse effects and interactions with other drugs.
