Objective:
To assess feasibility of plasma protein-binding percentage by using microdialysis method.
Method:
Sinomenine hydrochloride was selected as model drug. The in vitro rat plasma protein-binding percentage of three kinds of concentration was determinated by using microdialysis sampling tool and HPLC-UV. At the same time the classical study method, such as ultrafiltration method, was also used to determinate the protein-binding percentage to compare the difference between the two methods.
Result:
The in vitro rat plasma protein-binding percentage of sinomenine hydrochloride using microdialysis method was about 26% and kept relative stable at the concentration range. There was no significant difference between the two methods.
Conclusion:
The results shows that the binding percentage is relative low. Microdialysis method is a new method for the study of protein-binding degree.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
