Plasma protein binding plays a critical role in drug therapy, being a key part in the characterization of any compound. Among other methods, this process is largely studied by ultrafiltration based on its advantages. However, the method also has some limitations that could negatively influence the experimental results. The aim of this study was to underline key aspects regarding the limitations of the ultrafiltration method, and the potential ways to overcome them. The main limitations are given by the non-specific binding of the substances, the effect of the volume ratio obtained, and the need of a rigorous control of the experimental conditions, especially pH and temperature. This review presents a variety of methods that can hypothetically reduce the limitations, and concludes that ultrafiltration remains a reliable method for the study of protein binding. However, the methodology of the study should be carefully chosen.

Aim: The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was evaluated as an alternative to ultrafiltration (UF) to assess plasma protein binding (PPB) of small interfering RNAs (siRNA) and antisense oligonucleotides (ASO). Results & methodology: EMSA analysis showed that PPB depended on siRNA and plasma concentration. Conversely, when analyzed by ultrafiltration, siRNA bound the filtration device nonspecifically and PPB remained >98% across physiologically relevant siRNA concentrations. Using EMSA, siRNA exhibited charge-based interactions with plasma proteins, while ASO remained highly bound to plasma proteins or albumin in the presence of 500 mM salt. Conclusion: PPB characteristics of siRNA and ASO can be distinguished using EMSA. Characterization of siRNA PPB by EMSA enhances our knowledge of siRNA absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion and advanced development of RNA interference therapeutics.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to characterize raltegravir (RAL) binding to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG). Unbound and bound RAL were separated by ultrafiltration. The association constant (Ka) was estimated by a graphical method. In HIV-infected patients, the average plasma protein binding is 76%. RAL did not bind to AAG but bound to nonsaturable, low-affinity albumin sites with ann(number of sites) ·Kaproduct of 9.8 × 102liters/mol. A pH increase of 0.2 U led to a 2% increase in the bound fraction.

Casiopeína IIgly is a mixed chelate coordination compound with copper (II) core that has shown important antineoplastic activity, even in some resistant cellular lines to Cisplatin. In this work, preclinical studies as blood to plasma ratio, plasma protein binding, short-term stability in blood and pharmacokinetics of this coordination complex are reported. The results indicate that Casiopeína IIgly is stable in blood at least for 6 hours at 37 °C. Also, this compound exhibits an important accumulation in whole blood rather than plasma fluid, a high plasma protein binding (>90%) as well as short half-life (47 min).
