In a previous study, we reported on the development of a synthetic polymer conjugate of pirarubicin (THP) that was formed via an acid-labile hydrazone bond between the polymer and the THP. However, the synthetic polymer itself was non-biodegradable, which could lead to unexpected adverse effects. Human serum albumin (HSA), which has a high biocompatibility and good biodegradability, is also a potent carrier for delivering antitumor drugs. The objective of this study was to develop pH-sensitive HSA conjugates of THP (HSA-THP), and investigate the release of THP and the cytotoxicity under acidic conditions in vitro for further clinical development. HSA-THP was synthesized by conjugating maleimide hydrazone derivatives of THP with poly-thiolated HSA using 2-iminothiolane, via a thiol-maleimide coupling reaction. We synthesized two types of HSA-THP that contained different amounts of THP (HSA-THP2 and HSA-THP4). Free THP was released from both of the HSA conjugates more rapidly at an acidic pH, and the rates of release for HSA-THP2 and HSA-THP4 were similar. Moreover, both HSA-THPs exhibited a higher cytotoxicity at acidic pH than at neutral pH, which is consistent with the effective liberation of free THP under acidic conditions. These findings suggest that these types of HSA-THPs are promising candidates for further development.

The present study was performed to elucidate why the photochemical reaction of (ZZ)-bilirubin bound to human serum albumin is singularly selective, and only one of the two (EZ)- and (ZE)-bilirubins, the (ZE)-isomer, is produced. In a kinetic study of the photochemical reaction in vitro, the sum of the relative rate constants of photochemical transformation of (EZ)-bilirubin into both (EZ)-cyclobilirubin and (ZZ)-bilirubin, with a significant preference for the former, was proved to be considerably larger than that of the transformation of (ZZ)-bilirubin into (EZ)-bilirubin. Therefore only one of the geometrical isomers, namely (ZE)-bilirubin, is apparently formed. It was concluded that (EZ)-bilirubin photochemically undergoes (EZ)-cyclization, i.e. structural photoisomerization, while bound to its high-affinity site on human serum albumin, and is an intermediate in the transformation of (ZZ)-bilirubin into (EZ)-cyclobilirubin.
