Interactions between alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and 52 basic dru
gs were quantified by means of high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC). The HPLC retention parameters were related quantitatively to t
he hydrophobicity and molecular modelling parameters, giving rise to t
he prediction of relative drug-AGP binding from the chemical structure
of a drug. A structural model of one binding site on AGP, common for
various classes of drugs, was defined which accounted for the observed
and reported differences in binding to AGP. A combination of biochrom
atography and chemometrics has been presented as a promising new appro
ach in biochemieal/pharmacological studies.
