چکیده

A one-step procedure has been developed for the preparation of [3H]bilirubin IX-alpha in good yield from unlabelled bilirubin. Irradiation of an aqueous solution of [3H]bilirubin IX-alpha in the presence of human serum albumin results in the covalent attachment of the bilirubin to the protein. Preliminary degradation studies have been carried out to locate the site of attachment of the bilirubin to the albumin.

Affinity labeling of the primary bilirubin binding site of human serum albumin.

A label for the bilirubin binding sites of human serum albumin was synthesized by reacting 2 mol of Woodward's reagent K (N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium-3'-sulfonate) with 1 mol of bilirubin. This yielded a water-soluble derivative in which both carboxyl groups of bilirubin were converted to reactive enol esters. Covalent labeling was achieved by reacting the label with human serum albumin under n...

Non-resolving jaundice: bilirubin covalently attached to serum albumin circulates with the same metabolic half-life as albumin.

In hepatobiliary disease and biliary obstruction, bilirubin often becomes covalently bound to albumin circulating in serum, producing a nondissociable complex. To determine how long this complexed bilirubin remains in the circulation, we compared the metabolic clearance of bilirubin-albumin complexes with the clearances of free bilirubin and unmodified albumin. Radiolabeled bilirubin, albumin, ...

Co-amoxiclav Effects on the Structural and Binding Properties of Human Serum Albumin

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant plasma protein in the human body. HSA plays an important role in drug transport and metabolism. This protein has a high affinity to a very wide range of materials, including metals such as Cu2+ and Zn2+, fatty acids, amino acids and metabolites such as bilirubin and many drug compounds. In this study, we investigated the effects of co-amoxiclav, as...

Interaction of bilirubin with human serum albumin and cationic detergents.

In biological systems, once the unconjugated bili­ rubin is released into the plasma, it is transported rather firmly bound to albumin1_3. The binding equilibria of bilirubin to albumin and tissues are of great interest in order to be able to understand the development of hyperbilirubinemia3. It is well established that while the first mole of bilirubin is tightly bound to albumin, the subseque...
