✦ Synopsis

2,3-Benzodiazepines containing a centre of asymmetry at C-5 possess both central and helical chiralities, and the solution of their racemates contains four molecular species. The binding of these compounds to human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by affinity chromatography. The binding strength depended both on the steric orientation of the 5-ethyl substituent and on the conformation of the diazepine ring. Conformation P (defined by the positive sign of C-1-N-2-N-3-C-4 torsion angle) is favoured, while the quasiaxial orientation of the 5-ethyl substituent is not favoured by the albumin molecule.

Binding of ibuprofen (IB) enantiomers to human serum albumin (HSA) was studied using a chiral fluorescent derivatizing reagent, which enabled the measurement of IB enantiomers at a concentration as low 5 x 10(-8) M. Scatchard analyses revealed that there were two classes of binding sites for both en
