The following observations resulted from the studies: (1) bovine albumin interfered with the acetylation of sulfamethoxypyridazine. Apparently this was due to the binding of the sulfonamide to the protein since a similar effect was not observed with bovine globulin to which this sulfonamide was not bound. Furthermore, neither protein affected the acetylation of sulfanilamide whose binding to albumin was much less than that of sulfamethoxypyridazine; (2) in the presence of albumin, but not globulin, 2–25 times more of sulfinpyrazone and suramin, respectively, was required to inhibit the acetylation of sulfanilamide to the same extent as in the absence of the protein; (3) there appeared to be no consistent correlation among a number of sulfonamides between their binding to protein, "lipid solubility," pKa, and acetylation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
