Reevaluating equilibrium and kinetic binding parameters for lipophilic drugs based on a structural model for drug interaction with biological membranes

Structure-function activity relationships of drugs that bind to certain membrane-associated receptors must take into account the local membrane bilayer environment where the binding event occurs. In this Perspective, we have reexamined a model used in the equilibrium dissociation constant determinat...

Description
Summary:Structure-function activity relationships of drugs that bind to certain membrane-associated receptors must take into account the local membrane bilayer environment where the binding event occurs. In this Perspective, we have reexamined a model used in the equilibrium dissociation constant determination for certain lipid-soluble drugs based on recent experimental data describing the interaction of these drugs with the membrane bilayer.
