Abstract:
Albumin is thought as an drug carrier for doxorubicin (DOX). The binding of doxorubicin to albumin was studied on the surface of sporopolleninin (SP) to produce a new drug system based natural materials. Human serum albumin (HSA) was immobilized on SPIONs in 20 mM Tris buffer, 7.4 of pH. Data showed that binding amount of HSA has been found to be as 285.53 µg to the 25 mg of Sporopolleninin which also bounded 319.76 µM of DOX. Binding of protein and drug to Sp were clarified by SEM, EDX and FT-IR analysis.

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct...
