Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is a principal extracellular protein with a high concentration in
blood plasma and a carrier of many drugs to different molecular targets. Drug binding to HSA
can alter the protein biophysical and biochemical properties of protein. The structural analysis
of human serum albumin complexes, with naturally occurring flavonoids quercetin (antioxidant),
kaempferol (antioxidant), delphinidin (antioxidant), AZT (3י-azido-3י-deoxythymidine) (antiAIDS),
aspirin (anti-inflammatory), taxol (anticancer), cisplatin (anticancer), atrazine (herbicide),
2,4-0 (herbicide), polyamines (biogenic), chlorophyll (antimutagenic), chlorophyllin
(antitumor), poly(ethylene glycol) (polymer), vandyl cation and vanadate anion in aqueous
solution are reported. Using capillary electrophoresis, FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), UVVisible
and CD (Circular dichroism) spectroscopic methods, the drug binding mode, the binding
constant and the effects of drug complexation on protein secondary structure are determined.
The concentrations of HSA used were 0.6 to 0.3 mM, while different drug concentrations were
1 JLM to 1 mM. Structural analysis showed drugs are mostly located along the polypeptide chains,
with both specific and non-specific interactions. The stability of drug-HSA complexes were in

(free HSA) to 49-40% and an increase of tJ-structure from 22-15% (free HSA) to 33-23% in the drug-protein complexes occurred. These observations indicated that low drug content induced protein stabilization (folding), whereas, at high drug concentration, a partial protein destabilization (unfolding) occurred in these drug-HSA complexes
