Summary: | —
The influence of the structure of fluoroquinolones (on the example of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin) and their complexation with methyl-β-cyclodextrin on the interaction of the drug with human serum albumin was studied. It was found that the binding of the drug molecule with albumin is significantly affected by the structure of fluoroquinolone, as well as the presence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin. It was discovered that of the two fluoroquinolones, the more hydrophobic ciprofloxacin molecule interacts more strongly with the protein, using circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy methods. It has also been shown that binding of albumin to the drug causes quenching of protein fluorescence, and this effect is more pronounced for ciprofloxacin. The complexation of fluoroquinolones with methyl-β-cyclodextrin leads to a change in the interaction of fluoroquinolones with the protein: in the case of complexes, more pronounced interactions are observed for levofloxacin. The results obtained will help to bring the use of fluoroquinolones to a new level in clinical practice, by creating new highly effective drugs with improved properties. |
