Albumin is one of the most important proteins in human blood. Among its multiple functions, drug binding is crucial in terms of drug distribution in human body. This protein undergoes many modifications that are certain to influence protein activity and affect its structure. One such reaction is albumin oxidation. Chloramine T is a strong oxidant. Solutions of human serum albumin, both non-modified and modified by chloramine T, were examined with the use of fluorescence, absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. 10H-3,6-diazaphenothiazine (DAPT) has anticancer activity and it has been studied for the first time in terms of binding with human serum albumin—its potential as a transporting protein. Using fluorescence spectroscopy, in the presence of dansylated amino acids, dansyl-l-glutamine (dGlu), dansyl-l-proline (dPro), DAPT binding with two main albumin sites—in subdomain IIA and IIIA—has been evaluated. Based on the conducted data, in order to measure the stability of DAPT complexes with human (HSA) and oxidized (oHSA) serum albumin, association constant (Ka) for ligand-HSA and ligand-oHSA complexes were calculated. It has been presumed that oxidation is not an important issue in terms of 10H-3,6-diazaphenothiazine binding to albumin. It means that the distribution of this substance is similar regardless of changes in albumin structure caused by oxidation, natural occurring in the organism.

The aim of this study was to analyze the binding interactions between a common antihypertensive drug (ramipril, R) and the widely distributed plant flavonoid quercetin (Q), in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA). From the observed fluorescence spectra of the (HSA + R) system we can assume that ramipril is also one of the Site 3 ligands—similar to fusidic acid—the binding of which has been proven by RTG crystallography. Our claim is supported by near-UV CD spectroscopy, microscale themophoresis and molecular modeling. The presence of R slightly inhibited the subsequent binding of Q to HSA and, on the contrary, the pre-incubation of HSA with Q caused a stronger binding of R, most likely due to allosteric interactions. At high concentrations, R is also able to displace Q from its binding site. The dissociation constant KD for the binding of R is more than hundredfold larger than for Q, which means that R is a very weak binder to HSA. The knowledge of qualitative and quantitative parameters of R, as well as the methods used in this study, are important for future research into HSA binding. This study shows the importance of implementing other methods for KD determination. Microscale thermophoresis has proved to be a novel, practical and accurate method for KD determination on HSA, especially in cases when fluorescence spectroscopy is unable to produce usable results.
