A Sequential Ultrafiltration Method to Enhance the Accuracy and Throughput in Plasma Protein Binding Tests [PDF]
Objectives: Ultrafiltration (UF) is widely accepted as a method for assessing the plasma protein binding (PPB) of drugs. However, it is vulnerable to non-specific binding (NSB) to the device, which can result in inaccuracies.

Non-linear plasma protein binding of cannabidiol [PDF]
Background Cannabidiol is highly bound to plasma proteins. Changes in its protein binding can lead to altered unbound plasma concentrations and result in alteration of pharmacological activity of cannabidiol-containing medications.

Unraveling Hepcidin Plasma Protein Binding: Evidence from Peritoneal Equilibration Testing [PDF]
Peptide hormone hepcidin regulates systemic iron metabolism and has been described to be partially bound to α2-macroglobulin and albumin in blood. However, the reported degree of hepcidin protein binding varies between <3% and ≈89%.

QSAR Models for the Prediction of Plasma Protein Binding [PDF]
Introduction: The prediction of plasma protein binding (ppb) is of paramount importance in the pharmacokinetics characterization of drugs, as it causes significant changes in volume of distribution, clearance and drug half life.

Binding of Hepcidin to Plasma Proteins [PDF]
To the Editor: The hepcidin hormone of 25 amino acid residues is a key regulator of iron homeostasis (1). Hepcidin has been shown to bind in vitro to α2-macroglobulin (α2M)1 and albumin in human plasma (2). It is not known, however, to what extent hepcidin is bound to proteins in vivo.
