✦ Synopsis

Combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide (CM), metotrexate and 5-fluorouracil (FU) is used in treatment of patients with breast carcinoma. Although clinical toxicity of CM combinated with FU is greater than that of CM, the levels were clinically acceptable. The mechanism of competition of CM and FU to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was examined with the use of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy.

The chemical shifts and the linewidth of individual proton and carbon resonances of each drug were measured as a function of the drug/BSA molar ratio in order to analyse the drug-protein interaction and the molecular motion of the drug. The effect of the second drug used in the combination chemotherapy on the analysed NMR parameters is discussed.

It was found that FU and CM bind to BSA at molar ratio drug/BSA 160 and 330, respectively. The formation of lev-BSA complex was not confirmed. Whereas it was proved that in the presence of both lev and CM the number of FU molecules bound with BSA increases. It was also observed that FU induces the rising of the affinity between lev and BSA.

## Abstract The mechanism of cooperative binding of both cytarabine and fluorouracil, used in combination therapy, to the transporting protein [bovine serum albumin (BSA)] has been investigated. Present study shows a strategy of estimating the kind of competition between these drugs with the use of

The binding sites for phenylbutazone and colchicine were identified in tertiary structure of bovine and human serum albumin with the use of spectrofluorescence analysis. It was found that phenylbutazone has two binding sites in both sera albumins (HSA and BSA), while colchicine has one binding site

The kinetics of the binding of librium to bovine serum albumin w2re investigated at an ionic strength of 0.15 M, in the pH-range between 5.5 and 10.5. using the temperature-jump method. TWO relaxation times were observed. The first. rapid one is assigned to the equilibrium between reactants and comp
