AbstractThe interaction of an anti-gout drug, febuxostat was studied with bovine serum albumin (BSA) applying fluorescence quenching method for the first time. Interaction parameter and magnitude of the force indicated for both, dynamic and static quenching in between febuxostat and BSA protein. Thermodynamic studies indicated for both hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions, observed at 280 nm and only hydrophobic at 293 nm excitation wavelength. Negative ΔH o and positive ΔS o , indicated for distinctive characteristics for the existence of both, hydrogen and hydrophobic binding throughout the interactions. The binding constant K b at λ ex =280 nm was 3.467 × 10 3 µM -1 and 4.943 × 10 3 µM -1 at 298 and 308 K temperature whereas, 5.54 × 10 3 µM -1 and 4.44 × 10 3 µM -1 was noted during excitation at λ ex =293 nm wavelength. The K b values in different temperatures assumed that the stability of binding increased with the increase of temperature at λ ex =280 nm, but reverse effect was experienced at an excitation wavelength of λ ex =293 nm. The number of bound febuxostat molecules per BSA protein was found ~1.5 at both 298 and 308 K.
