Concerning the distribution of a drug, models have been published for log BB blood/brain partition coefficient) for CNS-active drugs (CNS, central nervous system) crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) [38-45] and binding to human serum albumin (HSA) [46]. 

Sulfaphenazole (684) and sulfazamet (685) are both examples of relatively short acting sulfonamides (B-80MI40406) and their antibacterial activity has been tested against Escherichia coli, the former being more effective than the latter. Sulfaphenazole also displaces sulfonyl ureas from protein binding sites on human serum albumin and consequently increases the concentration of the free (active) drug and produces a more intense reaction that may result in hypoglycemia. 

Human serum albumin has been purified similarly with 25% EtOH and 0.2% decanol. The isoelectric points of bovine and human serum albumins are 5.1 and 4.9. 

Proteins. A chiral stationary phase with immobilized a -acid glycoprotein on silica beads was introduced by Hermansson in 1983 [18, 19]. Several other proteins such as chicken egg albumin (ovalbumin), human serum albumin, and cellohy-drolase were also used later for the preparation of commercial CSPs. Their selectivity is believed to occur as a result of excess of dispersive forces acting on the more retained enantiomer [17]. These separation media often exhibit only modest loading capacity.

The resolution of these columns for protein mixtures, however, was comparably poor. The peak capacity for human serum albumin was near 3 during 20 min gradient elution. Improvement has been reached by covalent binding of PEI (M = 400-600) onto a 330 A silica of 5 pm particle size [38], The peak capacities of ovalbumin and 2a -arid glycoprotein were 30-40 (tgradienl = 20 min). Enhanced peak capacity and resolution probably were due to the more diffuse structure of PEI coupled to silane moieties than that of strictly adsorbed on silica and cross-linked (see Sect, 2.2). Other applications of covalently adsorbed PEI are discussed in Sect. 4.1.

Solubilization of biomolecules could induce change in the microemulsion structure. For example, in the presence of the human serum albumin and at low R value, the ternary microemulsion AOT/water/isoctane shows a transition to a bicontinuous microstructure [172],... 

Plasmepsin II. The malarial aspartyl protease plasmepsin II has a significant homology (35%) to cathepsin D. Correspondingly, the very same approach as for the cathepsin D inhibitors (see above) was followed. The best inhibitors have Ki values of 2-10nM, a molecular weight <650, moderate selectivity vs. cathepsin D, the most closely related human protease, log P values <4.6, and no apparent binding to human serum albumin, for example, compound 36 Ki plasmepsin II = 2.0nM, Ki cathepsin D = 9.8nM Fig. 16.5) [111].

There is a wide variety of commercially available chiral stationary phases and mobile phase additives.32 34 Preparative scale separations have been performed on the gram scale.32 Many stationary phases are based on chiral polymers such as cellulose or methacrylate, proteins such as human serum albumin or acid glycoprotein, Pirkle-type phases (often based on amino acids), or cyclodextrins. A typical application of a Pirkle phase column was the use of a N-(3,5-dinitrobenzyl)-a-amino phosphonate to synthesize several functionalized chiral stationary phases to separate enantiomers of...

Human serum albumin (HSA) may be used as a protectant against adsorptive loss of proteins present at low concentrations. HSA is present at higher concentration than the active substance and is preferentially adsorbed, coating the surface of interest and preventing adsorption of the drug. For example, insulin is subject to adsorptive loss to hydrophobic materials. Addition of 0.1-1.0% HSA has been reported to prevent this adsorptive loss [9],...
