Abstract:
1. The present in vitro study shows that bleomycin is able to take up copper from albumin, which functions as a copper transport protein in plasma. 2. Calculations, based on plasma concentrations of Cu(II)-albumin and bleomycin, suggest that only a small fraction of bleomycin (less than 3%) may directly accept copper from Cu(II)-albumin.
