The binding of dantrolene to rabbit red blood cell (RBC) ghosts and bovine serum albumin as models of receptor sites was studied using fluorescence techniques. Dantrolene upon binding to rabbit RBC ghosts and bovine serum albumin showed fluorescence with emission maxima at 495 and 500 nm, respectively. Dantrolene bound to rabbit RBC ghosts with an association constant of 6.06 × 104 M−1 and there were 2.4 × 106 dantrolene binding sites per ghost. The binding of dantrolene to bovine serum albumin showed an anomaly with respect to dantrolene concentration. Dantrolene at concentrations of 1.25 – 3.75 μM bound to bovine serum albumin with an association constant of 1.72 × 104 M−1 and there were 1.078 binding sites/mol bovine serum albumin. The higher affinity of dantrolene toward blood cells was confirmed by studying the distribution of dantrolene between blood cells and plasma after a single i.p. injection of dantrolene sodium (3 mg/kg) to albino rabbits. It was found that the concentration of dantrolene in rabbit blood cells was 2.76 times that of plasma.

This study investigates the permeance and rejection efficiencies of different dyes (Rhodamine B and methyl orange), folic acid and a protein (bovine serum albumin) using graphene oxide composite membrane. The ultrathin separation layer of graphene oxide (thickness of 380 nm) was successfully deposited onto porous polyvinylidene fluoride-polyacrylic acid intermediate layer on nonwoven support layer using vacuum filtration. The graphene oxide addition in the composite membrane caused an increased hydrophilicity and negative surface charge than those of the membrane without graphene oxide. In the filtration process using a graphene oxide composite membrane, the permeance values of pure water, dyes, folic acid and bovine serum albumin molecules were more severely decreased (by two orders of magnitude) than those of the nonwoven/polyvinylidene fluoride-polyacrylic acid composite membrane. However, the rejection efficiency of the graphene oxide composite was significantly improved in cationic Rhodamine B (from 9% to 80.3%) and anionic methyl orange (from 28.3% to 86.6%) feed solutions. The folic acid and bovine serum albumin were nearly completely rejected from solutions using either nonwoven/polyvinylidene fluoride-polyacrylic acid or nonwoven/polyvinylidene fluoride-polyacrylic acid/graphene oxide composite membrane, but the latter possessed anti-fouling property against the protein molecules. The separation mechanism in nonwoven/polyvinylidene fluoride-polyacrylic acid membrane includes the Donnan exclusion effect (for smaller-than-pore-size solutes) and sieving mechanism (for larger solutes). The sieving mechanism governs the filtration behavior in the nonwoven/polyvinylidene fluoride-polyacrylic acid/graphene oxide composite membrane.
