    Abstract:
    The interaction of propafenone enantiomers with human alpha 1-acid glycoprotein was studied using high-performance liquid chromatography. Each of the two optical antipodes interacted with one class of high-affinity binding sites characterized by Ka(R) = (6.18 +/- 0.93) x 10(5) M-1, n(R) = 1.34 +/- 0.09 for the (R)-isomer and Ka(S) = (8.93 +/- 1.82) x 10(5) M-1, n(S) = 0.99 +/- 0.08 for the (S)-isomer. Nonspecific binding to secondary low-affinity high-capacity binding site(s) was only slightly greater in the case of the (S)-enantiomer (n'k'(S) = (1.06 +/- 0.09) x 10(4) M-1) compared to the (R)-enantiomer (n'k'(R) = (6.87 +/- 0.72) x 10(3) M-1). It was concluded that both enantiomers interact with common single class of high-affinity binding sites on AAG (along with nonspecific binding) exhibiting only slight stereoselectivity for propafenone.
