Notes:
The interaction of propafenone enantiomers with human α1-acid glycoprotein was studied using high-performance liquid chromatography. Each of the two optical antipodes interacted with one class of high-affinity binding sites characterized by Ka(R) = (6.18 ± 0.93) × 105 M-1, n(R) = 1.34 ± 0.09 for the (R)-isomer and Ka(S) = (8.93 ± 1.82) × 105 M-1, n(S) = 0.99 ± 0.08 for the (S)-isomer. Nonspecific binding to secondary low-affinity high-capacity binding site(s) was only slightly greater in the case of the (S)-enantiomer (n′k′(S) = (1.06 ± 0.09) × 104 M-1) compared to the (R)-enantiomer (n′k′(R) = (6.87 ± 0.72) × 103 M-1). It was concluded that both enantiomers interact with common single class of high-affinity binding sites on AAG (along with nonspecific binding) exhibiting only slight stereoselectivity for propafenone.
