Study Notes
Complexation and Protein Binding
- Complexation is the process of drugs interacting with proteins
- Protein binding involves weak bonds like hydrogen, hydrophobic, and van der Waals forces
- Drug binding is often reversible
- Protein binding can also be irreversible through covalent bonding, but less common. Such binding can result in drug toxicity or carcinogenicity
- Irreversible protein binding is less common than reversible protein binding
Analysis of Complexation
- Estimation of two parameters is required: stoichiometric ratio of ligand:metal or donor:acceptor and stability constant of the complex
- pH titration is a reliable method used to assess complexation in cases where complex formation causes a pH change
- Example: chelation of cupric ion by glycine, represented as: Cu²⁺ + 2NH₃CH₂CH₂COO⁻ = Cu(NH₂CH₂COO)₂ + 2H⁺; the complex formation causes a drop in pH because two protons are formed during the reaction
Distribution Method
- Distribution behavior of a substance between two immiscible liquids is expressed in terms of distribution coefficient (or partition coefficient)
- When a solute complexes with an added substance, the solute's distribution pattern changes depending on the nature of the complex
- This method allows for estimating stability constants, for example; Iodine complexes with potassium iodide. I₂ + KI = KI₃, and K = [KI₃]/ ([I₂][K⁺I⁻])
Solubility Method
- This method uses the change in solubility profile to determine complexation
- Complexation can either increase or decrease the solubility of a substance in a mixture
- Example: the estimation of complexation between para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and caffeine: caffeine increases the solubility of PABA
Continuous Variation Method
- Physical properties like UV absorbance, dielectric constant, refractive index, and spectrophotometric extinction coefficient can be used to determine complexation
- In cases where there is no interaction or complexation between substances A and B, the value of the property is additive, and a linear relationship is observed in a plot
- If complexation occurs, the property value yields a nonlinear relationship
Spectroscopy Method
- Donor-acceptor or charge transfer complexations are studied using absorption spectroscopy in the visible and UV regions
- The complex usually has different UV absorbance from its constituents
- Additional methods include nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), polarography, and X-ray diffraction
Question on Complexes
- Identifying the central metal ion, ligand, and the coordination number of a complex
- Co(NH₃)₆⁺³: cobalt is central metal ion; NH₃ is ligand & coordination number is 6
- Cr(H₂O)₆⁺³: chromium is central metal ion; H₂O is ligand, and coordination number is 6
Protein Binding
- Protein binding refers to the interaction of compounds with proteins
- Proteins in human plasma have diverse functions, including maintaining osmotic pressure, pH, immunity, transport, enzyme/hormone function, and catalyzing metabolic reactions
- Protein-bound drugs are often inactive until released from the protein binding site
Types of Protein Binding
- Reversible protein binding involves weak bonds like hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces
- Irreversible protein binding, while less common, often involves covalent bonds, and can result in drug toxicity or carcinogenicity.
Protein-Ligand Binding Kinetics
- Describes the process of protein-ligand association and dissociation
- The rate at which binding occurs depends on factors like protein-ligand affinity, and interactions/collisions between molecules
- Time-dependent association is described as P + L $\rightleftharpoons$ kon PL (where kon is the kinetic rate constant for binding) koff
- PL $\rightleftharpoons$ koff P + L (where koff is the kinetic rate constant for unbinding)
Protein-Ligand Binding Models
- Lock-and-key, induced fit, and conformational selection models explain how proteins bind to ligands
- The lock-and-key model assumes rigid protein and ligand with perfect binding interface
- In the induced fit model, the binding site is flexible and the ligand induces conformational changes in the protein
- In the conformational selection model, protein exists as a vast ensemble of conformational states that coexist in equilibrium, and the ligand binds selectively to the most suitable state
Mechanisms of Interactions
- H-bonding: Proteins can interact with small molecules as a result of H-bonding between the donor and acceptor functional groups in amino acid sequences
- Electrostatic interactions: Occur between charged amino acids on proteins and ligand molecules with opposite charges
- Van der Waals forces: Include dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and dispersion forces
- Hydrophobic interactions: Interfacial phenomenon that results from the attraction between nonpolar (hydrophobic) groups in a solution containing water molecules
Implications of Protein Binding
- A bound drug is inactive, while a free drug shows its activity
- The free drug distributes from the vasculature to the organs, tissues or it can be metabolized/eliminated before reaching the target site.
- A bound drug can act as a reservoir
- If the medication is extensively bound, a minor change can have a considerable effect
Factors Influencing Protein Drug Binding
- Drug-related factors; Physicochemical characteristics and lipophilicity are directly related to the extent of protein binding. A greater lipophilicity leads to a greater extent of protein binding
- Concentration of drug/protein in the body: Protein binding process can be altered by changes in the concentration of drug or protein
- Affinity of a drug for specific binding components: Depends on the attraction/affinity of protein molecules or tissues towards drug moieties.
- Protein/tissue-related factors: Physicochemical characteristics of protein such as amino acid sequence/structure that affects the degree of attraction to the drug
- Drug interactions: Competition between drugs for binding sites, or interactions with normal body constituents, can affect protein binding.
Patient-Related Factors
- Age: Neonates and elderly patients may have altered albumin content and require adjustments to drug dosages accordingly
- Inter-subject variability: Differences in genetics and environmental factors influence drug responses
- Disease states: Certain diseases may affect plasma protein concentration and binding properties, thus changing the amount of free drug
Binding to Blood Components
- Protein binding can occur in extracellular spaces and intracellular spaces.
- Specific proteins can bind to drugs, including human serum albumin (HSA), α1-acid glycoprotein, Lipoproteins, and blood cells
- The extent of drug binding varies among different proteins: Albumin > α1-acid glycoprotein > Lipoproteins > Globulins.
Binding of Drugs
- Binding of drugs to Human Serum Albumin (HSA): HSA is an abundant plasma protein characterized by a large drug binding capacity
- Binding of drugs to α1-acid glycoprotein (orosomucoid): Drug binding is primarily due to hydrophobic interactions. Basic drugs bind to the acidic alpha-1 acid glycoprotein
- Binding of drugs to Lipoproteins: Drugs bind to these components by hydrophobic interactions, and the lipid core serves as a solvent
Binding of Drugs to Globulins
- a1 Globulin (Corticosteroid binding globulin), plays a role in binding of steroidal drugs, Thyroxin, and Cyanocobalamine (Vitamin B12)
- a2 Globulin (Ceruloplasmin) binds Vitamins A, D, E, K
- b1 Globulin (transferrin) binds Ferrous ions
- b2 Globulin binds to Carotinoids
- y Globulin binds antigens
Binding of Drugs to Blood Cells
- Drugs can bind to blood components, including 40% blood cells (primarily red blood cells)
- Hemoglobin is a protein within RBCs and it can bind to certain drugs like phenytoin and pentobarbital
Significance of Protein Binding
- Absorption: Protein binding affects the absorption of drugs as it changes the amount of free drug. It changes absorption equilibrium
- Distribution: Protein binding affects the drug's distribution across membranes and tissues
- Metabolism: Protein binding influences drug metabolism, only unbound drugs can be metabolized (by liver).
- Elimination: Protein binding prevents drug entry to the metabolizing organ (liver) and glomerular filtration, influencing drug elimination. Only unbound drugs can be eliminated
Other Factors of Protein Binding
- Diagnosis; Diseases/disorders can change the protein status to be used as biomarkers. Proteins are also used to complex radioactive substances for diagnosis
- Solubility; Lipoproteins act as a vehicle for hydrophobic drugs such as steroids, heparin, and oil-soluble vitamins.
- Drug Action; Protein binding inactivates the drugs as it reduces free drug concentration, so it cannot create a sufficient drug concentration needed in the receptor site to have an effect
- Sustain release; Drug-protein complex acts as a reservoir and continuously delivers the free drug
