The thermodynamic of the binding of nickel (II) tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine anion [Ni(tspc)4–], to human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated in 5 mM aqueous phosphate buffer of pH 7.40 at 25°C using optical absorption spectroscopy. The results show that [Ni(tspc)4–] does not have any affinity for aggregation due to increasing of salt concentration and exists as monomers even in homogeneous aqueous solutions of high ionic strengths (more than 2 M NaCl). The binding constant (K) was obtained by analysis of optical absorption spectra of mentioned complex at various HSA concentrations using SQUAD software. The value ofKwas estimated to be 4.89×105±0.03 (M–1) at 25°C. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by van’t Hoff equation. The enthalpy and entropy changes were 28.08 kJ/mol and 203.09 J/(mol?·?K) at 25°C, respectively. The results indicate that the binding is mainly entropy driven and the enthalpy is unfavorable for it, the hydrophobic forces thus playing a major role in the binding process.

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.
