Affinity to bovine serum albumin and anticancer activity of some new water-soluble metal Schiff base complexes Binding of the Schiff base metal complexes with the most abundant carrier proteins (serum albumins) have been a subject of interest as such drug–protein binding greatly influences absorption, drug transport, storage, metabolism and excretion properties of typical drugs in vertebrates. Serum albumins are most plentiful proteins in the circulatory system of a wide variety of organisms. Among the serum albumins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a striking macromolecule often used in biophysical and biochemical studies because of its structural homology with human serum albumin (HSA), its accessibility, low cost and unusual ligand binding properties. The interaction of some complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. Type of quenching, binding constants, number of binding sites and binding stoichiometries were determined by fluorescence quenching method. The results showed that the mentioned complexes strongly bound to BSA. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that hydrophobic association was the major binding force and that the interaction was entropy driven and enthalpically disfavoured. The displacement experiment showed that these complexes could bind to the subdomain IIA (site I) of albumin. Furthermore the synchronous fluorescence spectra showed that the microenvironment of the tryptophan residues was not apparently changed. Based on the Förster theory of non-radiation energy transfer, the distance between the donor (Trp residues) and the acceptor metal complexes was obtained. Finally the growth inhibitory effect of complexes toward the K562 cancer cell line was measured.
