Study of the Interaction of Carbamazepine with Bovine Serum Albumin by Fluorescence Quenching Method

Abstract

The interaction between carbamazepine (CBZ) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied using fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV). The experimental results showed that the CBZ could insert into the BSA and quench the inner fluorescence of BSA by forming the CBZ-BSA complex. It was found that both static quenching and non-radiation energy transfer were the main reasons leading to the fluorescence quenching. The apparent binding constants (K) between CBZ and BSA were found to be 1.8 × 10 4 (27˚C) and 2.8 × 10 4 (37˚C) and the binding site values (n) were 0.97 (27˚C) and 1.01 (37˚C), respectively. According to the Förster theory of non-radiation energy transfer, the binding distances (r) between CBZ and BSA were 3.6 nm and 3.4 nm at 27˚C and 37˚C, respectively. The process of the binding was a spontaneous molecular interaction in which entropy increased and Gibbs free energy decreased, indicating that the interaction between CBZ and BSA was mainly driven by the hydrophobic force.

“…In the former process, the fluorescence intensity of a given fluorophore is quenched by forming a nonfluorescent complex with a quencher molecule, and the excited energy transfer by collision in the latter process. 16,17 They can be distinguished by their different temperature dependence. Higher temperatures can lead to faster diffusion and extended collisional quenching, and so K sv increases along with increasing temperature.…”

“…Static and dynamic quenching are the two quenching process. In static quenching, formation of non fluorescent complex with quencher molecule is responsible for quenching of fluorescence intensity of a fluorophore, whereas dynamic quenching refers to a process in which the fluorophore and the quencher comes into contact during the lifetime of the excited state (Wang et al, 2006). They can be distinguished by their different temperature dependence.…”
