In attempt to develop a drug delivery system using serum albumin microspheres, bovine serum albumin microspheres containing antitumar agent. Cytarabine, were prepared. The shape, surface characteristics, size distribution, behavior of in vivo distribution, drug release behavior, and degradation of albumin microsphers in animal liver issue homogenate and proteolytic enzyme were investigated. The shape of albumin microspheres was spherical and the surface was smooth and compact. The size distribution of the albumin microspheres was effected by dispertion forces during emulsification and albumin concentration. Distribution of albumin microspheres after imtravenous administration in rabbit was achieved immediately. In vitro, albumin microsphere matrix was so hard that it retained most of cytarabine except initial burst during the first 10 minutes, and the level of drug release during the initial burst was affected by heating temperature, drug/albumin microsphere matrix was so hard that it retained most of cytarabine except initial burst during the first 10 minutes, and the level of drug release during the initial burst was affected by heating temperature, drug/albumin concentration ratio and size distribution. After drug release test, the morphology of albumin microspheres was not changed. Albumin microsphere matrix was degraded by the animal liver issue homogenate and proteolytic enzyme. The degree of degradation was affected by heating temperature.

Objective : Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of adult nephrotic syndrome worldwide. MN has been defined as granular subepithelial deposition of IgG immune complexes along the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). We aimed to identify the effects of Chungyeolmaksungbang (CYMSB) treatment on cBSA-induced in MN mouse model. Methods : The effect of Chungyeolmaksungbang treatment was studied on the morphology and protein excretion in the cationized bovine serum albumin (cBSA)induced mouse chronic serum sickness nephritis model. One group of mice was given intra-peritoneal (i.p.) immunizing doses of cBSA and complete Freund's adjuvant. One week later, these animals began a single i.p. injection of cBSA for 4 weeks. A second group followed the same injection protocol, but was given CYMSB p.o. Results : Proteinuria significantly was decreased and serum albumin was increased in the group treated with cBSA and CYMSB extract compared with the control. Serum BUN was significantly decreased on CYMSB compared with control. CD3e+/CD19 cells ratio of peripheral blood was decreased and CD4+/CD8 cells was increased. Level of $IL-1{\beta}$ was significantly decreased, and $IFN-{\gamma}$ was significantly increased. Concentration of IgG and IgM was significantly decreased compared with control. Thickness of GBM was decreased on histological analysis of kidney. Deposition of CD4 and CD8 was decreased on immunohistochemical staining of kidney. Conclusions : We conclude that CYMSB treatment may could be a useful remedy agents for treating the MN with cBSA.

In attempt to develop a drug delivery system using serum albumin microspheres, bovine serum albumin microspheres containing antitumor agent, cytarabine, were prepared. The shape, surface characteristics, size distribution, behavior of in vitro distribution, drug release behaior, and degradation of albumin microspheres in animal liver tissue homogenate and proteolytic enzyme were investigated. The shape of albumin microspheres was spherical and the surface was smooth and compact. The size distribution of the albumin microspheres was affected by dispersion forces during emulsification and albumin concentration. Distribution of albumin mirospheres after intravenous administration in rabbit was achieved immediately. In vitro, albumin microsphere matrix was so hard that it retained most of cytarabine except initial burst during the first 10 minutes, and the level of drug release during the initial burst was affected by heating temperature, drug/albumin concentration ratio and size distribution.

The organ distribution of $[^3H]$-methotrexate-lactosaminated bovine serum albumin conjugates ($[^3H]$-MTX-LBSA) was investigated to examine their role as a liver-specific anticancer drug. Synthesis of lactosaminated bovine serum albumin(LBSA) with BSA, lactose and sodium cyanoborohydride through reductive amination was followed by its conjugation with methotrexate (MTX) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), thereby synthesizing [$[^3H]$-MTX-LBSA conjugates. Organ distribution and plasma elimination profiles were studied in male Wistar rats after intravenous injection of [$[^3H]$-MTX-LBSA conjugates. The fates of $[^3H]$-MTX and the $[^3H]$-MTX-BSA conjugates´fates were also investigated for comparison. The results showed that the plasma level of $[^3H]$-MTX-LBSA conjugates declined more rapidly than those of $[^3H]$-MTX-BSA and their liver concentration was significantly higher than those of other treatment (p<0.01). In addition, their uptake compared to the amount taken up by the liver (1 : 33.1 at 10 min, 1 : 24.1 at 120 min). All these suggested that MTX-LBSA conjugate is one of the drug delivery system (DDS) that is advanced in concentrating MTX in the liver and minimizing the renal toxicity of MTX.

Candida pseudotropicalis의 영양요구성 돌연변이 균주들에 대한 원형질체 형성, 재생 그리고 융합에 있어서 bovine serum albumin (BSA), myoinositol 그리고 ergosterol의 증진효과를 연구하였다. 원형질체 형성율은 영양요구성 균주의 type에 따라 48%-98%였다. O. 5mg/ml의 myoinositol과 0.1mg/ml의 ergosterol을 배양액에 첨가하고 4mg/ ml의 BSA을 원형 질체 형성 완충용액에 첨가했을 때는 50~100%의 원형절체 형성윷을 얻었다. 영양요구성 균주의 생장배지에 myoinositol과 ergosterol을 동시에 첨가하고 원형질체 형성 완충용액에 BSA를 침가하면 2.2-3.0애의 원형질체 재생율 증진을 보여주었다. 원형질체 융합의 최적조건에서 상보적 영양요구성 균주간의 융합율은 $7.0\times 10^{-4}$ ~ $1.5\times 10^{-3}$ 이였으며 상기화합물을 처리하지 않고 얻은 융힐l율과 비교해서 1. 9-2. 3배의 증가를 보였다. 이러힌 결과로 본 연구에서 사용된 균주들에서는 상기화합물 처리 에 의해 원형질체 재생은 물론 세포융합율도 증진됨을 알 수 있었다.

A 6-sulfooxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene (SMBP), the ultimate metabolite of methyl-substituted benzo[a]pyrene (BP), has been found to be carcinogenic in mice. These properties may be attributable to its strong reactivity with cellular macromolecules such as DNA. However, serum and its major constituent albumin attenuated significantly the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of 5MBP in bacterial and mammalian cell systems. This inhibitory activity of serum against 5MBP-induced cytotoxicity and mutagenicity in Chinese hamster V79 cells appears to be caused by the reduced macromolecular adducts such as DNA and proteins, but serum failed to reduce 5MBP binding to naked calf thymus DNA. A number of proteins in the serum could act as nucleophiles that are able to intercept reactive chemicals through covalent binding. Albumin present in the plasma seems to be one of major components responsible for direct binding with 5MBp, thereby reducing its reactivity to genetic materials. We here determined which fraction is preferential for 5MBP binding through fractionation of 5MBP-treated serum with ammonium sulfate. The albumin-containing fraction had slightly more affinity for 5MBP than the immunoglobulin-containing fraction. Our results indicate that the covalent modification of plasma proteins may reduce 5MBP-induced damage.

The flux behavior in the separation of equimolar bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine hemoglobin (HB) in aqueous solutions by cross-flow ultrafiltration (UF) was investigated, in which polyacylonitrile membrane with a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 100 kDa was used. BSA and HB have comparable molar mass (67,000 vs. 68,000) but different isoelectric points (4.7 vs. 7.1). The effects of process variables including solution pH (6.5, 7.1, and 7.5), total protein concentration (1.48 and 7.40 ${\mu}M$), transmembrane pressure (69, 207, and 345 kPa), and solution ionic strength (with or without 0.01 M NaCl) on the separation were examined. It was shown that the ionic strength had a negligible effect on separation performance under the conditions studied. Although BSA and HB are not rigid bodies, the flux decline in the present cross-flow UF did not result from the mechanism of cake filtration with compression. In this regard, the specific cake resistance when pseudo steady-state was reached was evaluated and discussed.

The mechanism of interaction of four coumarin derivatives (CDS) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied using spectrofluorometric technique. It was found that the coumarin ring common to all CDS makes major contribution to interaction. Binding affinities could be related to parachor values of CDS. Stem-Volmer plots indicated the presence of static component in the quenching mechanism. Results also showed that both tryptophan residues of protein are accessible to CDS. The high magnitude of rate constant of quenching indicated that the process of energy transfer occurs by intermolecular interaction forces and thus CDS binding site is in close proximity to tryptophan residues of BSA. Binding studies in the presence of the hydrophobic probe, 8-anilino-l-naphthalein-sulfonic acid showed that there is hydrophobic interaction between CDS and the probe and they do not share common sites in BSA. Thermodynamic parameters obtained from data at different temperatures showed that the binding of CDS to BSA involve hydrophobic bonds predominantly. The effects of various metal ions on the binding of CDS with BSA were also investigated.

Spectroscopic investigations on the interaction of gabapentin (GBP) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were reported. The association constant of GBP-BSA system was determined at different temperatures (298, 302, 306 and 311 K) based on the fluorescence quenching results. The GBP was found to quench the fluorescence of BSA through static mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters, the standard enthalpy change, $({\Delta}H^o)$ and the standard entropy change $({\Delta}S^o)$ were observed to be $-9.61{\pm}0.008\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$ and $3.58{\pm}0.011\;Jmol^{-1}K{-1}$ respectively. These indicated that the hydrophobic and electrostatic forces played a role in the interaction of GBP with BSA. The negative value of ${\Delta}G^o$ revealed that the binding reaction is spontaneous. The circular dichroism studies indicated the conformational changes in BSA upon interaction with GBP. The effect of some metal ions on the binding constant was also investigated.
