Abstract
The field of affinity chromatography, which employs a biologically-related agent as the stationary phase, has seen significant growth since the modern era of this method began in 1968. This review examines the major developments and trends that have occurred in this technique over the past five decades. The basic principles and history of this area are first discussed. This is followed by an overview of the various supports, immobilization strategies, and types of binding agents that have been used in this field. The general types of applications and fields of use that have appeared for affinity chromatography are also considered. A survey of the literature is used to identify major trends in these topics and important areas of use for affinity chromatography in the separation, analysis, or characterization of chemicals and biochemicals.

Screening Bioactive Compounds of Siraitia grosvenorii by Immobilized β 2-Adrenergic Receptor Chromatography and Druggability Evaluation. Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:915.

Abstract
As the first and key step of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-guided drug development, lead discovery necessitates continuous exploration of new methodology for screening bioactive compounds from TCM. This work intends to establish a strategy for rapidly recognizing β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) target compounds from the fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii (LHG). The method involved immobilization of β2-AR onto amino-microsphere to synthesize the receptor column, the combination of the column to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to screen bioactive compounds of LHG, the identification of the compounds by HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry (MS), and the evaluation of druggability through pharmacokinetic examination by HPLC-MS/MS. Mogroside V was screened and identified as the β2-AR-targeted bioactive compounds in LHG. This compound exhibited desired pharmacokinetic behavior including the time to reach peak plasma concentrations of 45 min, the relatively low elimination of 138.5 min, and the high bioavailability. These parameters indicated that mogroside V has a good druggability for the development of new drugs fighting β2-AR-mediated respiratory ailments like asthma. The combination of the methods in this work is probably becoming a powerful strategy for screening and early evaluating the bioactive compounds specifically binding to G-protein-coupled receptor target from complex matrices including TCM.

Abstract
The last few decades have witnessed the development of many high-performance separation methods that use biologically related binding agents. The combination of HPLC with these binding agents results in a technique known as high performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). This review will discuss the general principles of HPAC and related techniques, with an emphasis on their use for the analysis of biological compounds and pharmaceutical agents. Various types of binding agents for these methods will be considered, including antibodies, immunoglobulin-binding proteins, aptamers, enzymes, lectins, transport proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Formats that will be discussed for these methods range from the direct detection of an analyte to indirect detection based on chromatographic immunoassays, as well as schemes based on analyte extraction or depletion, post-column detection, and multi-column systems. The use of biological agents in HPLC for chiral separations will also be considered, along with the use of HPAC as a tool to screen or study biological interactions. Various examples will be presented to illustrate these approaches and their applications in fields such as biochemistry, clinical chemistry, and pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
Cellular membrane affinity chromatography stationary phases have been extensively used to characterize immobilized proteins and provide a direct measurement of multiple binding sites, including orthosteric and allosteric sites. This review will address the utilization of immobilized cellular and tissue fragments to characterize multiple transmembrane proteins co-immobilized onto a stationary phase. This approach will be illustrated by demonstrating that multiple transmembrane proteins were immobilized from cell lines and tissue fragments. In addition, the immobilization of individual compartments/organelles within a cell will be discussed and the changes in the proteins binding/kinetics based on their location.

Abstract
The metabolites found in the urine, feces and bile of male and female rats administered with (14)C-labeled herbicide, propyrisulfuron [1-(2-chloro-6-propylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-3-ylsulfonyl)-3- (4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)urea] were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the ultraviolet (UV) and radioisotope (RI) detectors, tandem mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Administered (14)C was excreted into the urine (5.7-29.8%) and feces (64.6-97.4%). Urine and bile samples were concentrated and purified using a solid-phase extraction cartridge, and fecal homogenates were extracted using acetonitrile. Conjugates were hydrolyzed with enzyme or hydrochloric acid solution for identification. The proposed major metabolic reactions of propyrisulfuron are as follows: (1) hydroxylation of the pyrimidine ring, propyl group, and imidazopyridazine ring, (2) O-demethylation, (3) cleavage of the pyrimidine ring, and (4) glucuronic acid and sulfate conjugation. The metabolic patterns found are not different among sulfonylurea herbicides.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on 20 compounds with serotonin (5-HT) receptor affinity. Thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) data and physicochemical parameters were applied in this study. RP2 TLC 60F(254) plates (silanized) impregnated with solutions of propionic acid, ethylbenzene, 4-ethylphenol, and propionamide (used as analogues of the key receptor amino acids) and their mixtures (denoted as S1-S7 biochromatographic models) were used in two developing phases as a model of drug-5-HT receptor interaction. The semiempirical method AM1 (HyperChem v. 7.0 program) and ACD/Labs v. 8.0 program were employed to calculate a set of physicochemical parameters for the investigated compounds. Correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used to search for the best QSAR equations. The correlations obtained for the compounds studied represent their interactions with the proposed biochromatographic models. The good multivariate relationships (R(2) = 0.78-0.84) obtained by means of regression analysis can be used for predicting the quantitative effect of biological activity of different compounds with 5-HT receptor affinity. "Leave-one-out" (LOO) and "leave-N-out" (LNO) cross-validation methods were used to judge the predictive power of final regression equations.

Abstract
This manuscript reports an approach to the screening of natural product extracts for compounds which are active at membrane-bound receptors, ion channels and transporters. The technique is based upon cellular membrane affinity chromatography (CMAC) columns created through the immobilization of cellular membrane fragments on liquid chromatography stationary phases. In this study a CMAC(nAChR(+)) column was created out of membranes from a transfected cell line expressing the alpha3beta4 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and the column was used to screen tobacco smoke condensates. A strategy involving parallel screening with a CMAC column created from a non-transfected form of the same cell line, CMAC(nAChR(-)) was adopted. The condensate was chromatographed on both columns, timed fractions collected and concentrated. Each fraction was analyzed on a C18 column in order to establish a chromatographic fingerprint of each fraction and a differential elution profile of each compound. Comparison of the elution profiles from the CMAC(nAChR(+)) and CMAC(nAChR(-)) columns identified patterns that could be associated with high affinity ligands and with low-affinity/non-binding compounds. Known strong ligands ((S)-nicotine, (R,S)-anatabine, N'-nitrosonornicotine), weak ligands ((R,S)-nornicotine, anabasine) as well as known non-ligands (N-methyl-gamma-oxo-3-pyridinebutanamide, (1'S,2'S)-nicotine 1'-oxide) have been identified in the complex extract. The results demonstrate that CMAC-based screens can be used in the identification of compounds within natural product extracts that bind to membrane-based targets.

Abstract
The purinergic receptor signaling system plays an important role in communication between cells in the nervous system and opens new opportunities for screening of potential drugs. Our objective was to explore the pharmacological properties and establish a new methodology for ligand screening for the P2X2 receptor, which has been developed by the combinatorial library approach Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment (SELEX). To this end, membranes of 1321N1 cells stably transfected with rat P2X2 receptors were resuspended in 2% cholate detergent and subsequently coupled onto an immobilized artificial membrane (IAM). The IAM-cholate-P2X2 mixture was then dialyzed, centrifuged and packed into a FPLC column. Equilibrium binding to the receptor and competition between ATP and the purinergic antagonists suramin and 2'3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-ATP) were analyzed by a chromatographic assay using 32P alpha ATP as a radioligand. Our data indicate that suramin does not compete with ATP for the ligand binding site and TNP-ATP is a competitive antagonist, confirming previous studies [C.A. Trujillo, A.A. Nery, A.H. Martins, P. Majumder, F.A. Gonzalez, H. Ulrich, Biochemistry 45 (2006) 224-233]. In addition, we demonstrate that this assay can be used in in vitro selection procedures for RNA aptamers binding to P2X2 receptors. The results demonstrate that the receptor can be immobilized in a stable format and reused over an extended period of time, facilitating the exploration of ligand-receptor interactions and screening of combinatorial pools for possible ligands.

Abstract
The enantioselectivity of the interaction of dextromethorphan (DM) and levomethorphan (LM) with an immobilized alpha 3 beta 4 subtype of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) liquid chromatographic stationary phase has been compared to DM- and LM-induced non-competitive blockade of nicotine-stimulated 86Rb(+) efflux from cells expressing the alpha 3 beta 4-nAChR. The association rate constants (k(on)) and dissociation rate constants (k(off)) for the formation of the DM and LM complexes with the nAChR were determined using non-linear chromatographic techniques and the k(off) value for DM (1.01+/-0.01 s(-1)) was significantly lower than the k(off) for LM (1.55+/-0.002s(-1)) while the k(on) values did not significantly differ (23.66+/-0.61 and 18.61+/-0.36 microM(-1)s(-1), respectively). In thermodynamic studies using the van't Hoff approach, the enthalpy change (Delta H degrees) of the DM-nAChR complex was 330 calmol(-1) more stable than the LM-nAChR complex, while there was no significant difference in the entropy change (DeltaS degrees ). In the functional in vitro cell-based studies, there was no significant difference in the observed IC(50) values for DM (10.1+/-1.01 microM) and LM (10.9+/-1.08 microM), but the recovery from the DM-induced blockade was slower than the recovery from LM-induced blockade; after 7 min: 38.25+/-15.46% recovery from DM blockade, 63.30+/-16.08% from LM blockade; after 4h: 76.20+/-4.51% recovery from DM blockade and 93.12+/-8.76% from LM blockade. The enantioselective differences in the functional effects are consistent with the chromatographic and thermodynamic data and indicate that this difference is due to increased stability of the DM-nAChR complex. The results suggest that the chromatographic approach can be used to probe the interaction of non-competitive inhibitors (NCIs) with nAChRs and to predict relative duration of functional blockades.

Abstract
Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are members of a super family of lipid-binding proteins, and occur intracellularly in vertebrates and invertebrates. This review briefly addresses the structural and molecular properties of the fatty acid binding proteins, together with their potential physiological role. Special attention is paid to the methods used to study the binding characteristics of FABPs. An overview of the conventional (Lipidex, the ADIFAB and ITC) and innovative separation-based techniques (chromatographic and electrophoretic methods) for the study of ligand-protein interactions is presented along with a discussion of their strengths, weak points and potential applications. The best conventional approaches with natural fatty acids have generally revealed only limited information about the interactions of fatty acid proteins. In contrast, high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) studies of several proteins provide full information on the binding characteristics. The review uses, as an example, the application of immobilized liver basic FABP as a probe for the study of ligand-protein binding by high-performance affinity chromatography. The FABP from chicken liver has been immobilized on aminopropyl silica and the developed stationary phase was used to examine the enantioselective properties of this protein and to study the binding of drugs to FABP. In order to clarify the retention mechanism, competitive displacement studies were also carried out by adding short chain fatty acids to the mobile phase as displacing agents and preliminary quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRRs) correlations were developed to describe the nature of the interactions between the chemical structures of the analytes and the observed chromatographic results. The results of these studies may shed light on the proposed roles of these proteins in biological systems and may find applications in medicine and medicinal chemistry. This knowledge will yield a deeper insight into the mechanism of fatty acid binding in order to indisputably show the central role played by FABPs in cellular FA transport and utilization for a proper lipid metabolism.

Abstract
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes alpha3beta4-nAChR and alpha4beta2-nAChR have been immobilized and the resulting stationary phases used to determine binding affinities. The alpha3beta4-nAChR column was coupled to a C(18) column and a mixture of 18 compounds was sorted into ligands and non-ligands for the alpha3beta4-nAChR. The results demonstrate that the nAChR stationary phases can be used for on-line high-throughput screening (HTS).

Abstract
A liquid chromatographic column containing immobilized alpha3beta4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (alpha3beta4-nAChRs) has been used to determine the equilibrium association constants (Ka), desorption rate constants (kd), and adsorption rate constants (ka) for the noncompetitive inhibitors: mecamylamine, ketamine, bupropion, and dextromethorphan. Displacement chromatography, with mecamylamine as the displacer, was used to verify that the four compounds bound to the same site on the immobilized alpha3beta4-nAChRs. Nonlinear chromatographic techniques were then utilized to calculate the Ka, ka, and kd values associated with the formation of the noncompetitive inhibitor-alpha3beta4-nAChR complexes. The ka values determined in this study ranged from 19.7 to 10.5 microM(-1) sec(-1), with a relative order of mecamylamine > dextromethorphan > or = ketamine > bupropion. The kd values determined in this study indicated that dextromethorphan-induced inhibition should produce a longer recovery time than the other three NCIs. This was consistent with results from a previous in vitro study. The data from this study indicate that the immobilized alpha3beta4-nAChR column and nonlinear chromatography can be used in the study of NCIs at the alpha3beta4-nAChR.

Abstract
The alpha3beta4 subtype of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtype was immobilized on a liquid chromatographic support and the resulting column used for the rapid and direct on-line screening for nAChR ligands. A multidimensional chromatographic system was developed consisting of the immobilized receptor column (NR column) connected via a switching valve to a C(18) column that was, in turn, connected to a single quadrupole mass spectrometer. A mixture of 18 compounds, containing alpha3beta4 nAChR (7) and compounds that are not alpha3beta4 nAChR ligands (11), was injected onto the NR column. The mobile phase consisted of ammonium acetate (10 mM, pH 7.4)-methanol (95:5, v/v) and the flow-rate was 0.2 ml/min. For the first 8 min the eluent was directed to waste. At t=8 min, the switching valve was rotated and the NR column connected to the C(18) column. The eluent from the NR column was directed to the C(18) column for 12 min. At t=20 min, the switching valve was rotated and the NR column was disconnected from the C(18) column. The compounds trapped on the C(18) column were separated and eluted onto the mass spectrometer using a mobile phase of ammonium acetate (10 mM, pH 7.4)-methanol (40:60, v/v) at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. Detection was accomplished using total ion monitoring. The multidimensional system correctly isolated six of the seven alpha3beta4 nAChR ligands and only one of the 11 non-ligands was found with the alpha3beta4 nAChR ligands. The results indicate that the multidimensional liquid chromatographic system can be used for the on-line screening of chemical mixtures for alpha3beta4 nAChR ligands.

Abstract
This review addresses the synthesis and characterization of two different types of receptor-based liquid chromatographic supports, one based upon a trans-membrane ligand gated ion channel receptor (the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor) and the other a soluble nuclear receptor (the estrogen receptor). In addition, studies with the P-glycoprotein transporter are also reported. The nicotinic receptor was immobilized via hydrophobic insertion into the interstitial spaces of an immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) stationary phase. the estrogen receptor was tethered to a hydrophilic stationary phase and the membranes containing the Pgp transporter were coated on the surface of the IAM stationary phase. The stationary phases were characterized using known ligands and substrates for the respective non-immobilized proteins. The results from zonal and frontal chromatographic experiments demonstrated that the stationary phases could be used to determine binding affinities (expressed as dissociation constants, Kd,'s) and to resolve mixtures of ligands according to their relative affinities. In addition. competitive ligand binding studies on the P-glycoprotein-based stationary phase have established that this phase can be used to identify and characterize competitive displacement and allosteric interactions. These studies demonstrate that immobilized-receptor phases can be used for on-line pharmacological studies and as rapid screens for the isolation and identification of lead drug candidates from complex biological or chemical mixtures.

Abstract
Analyses of specific interactions between solutes and a membrane protein can serve to characterize the protein. Frontal affinity chromatography of an interactant on a column containing the membrane protein immobilized in a lipid environment is a simple and robust approach for series of experiments with particular protein molecules. Regression analysis of the retention volumes at a series of interactant concentrations shows the affinity of the protein for the interactant and the amount of active binding sites. The higher the affinity, the fewer sites are required to give sufficient retention. Competition experiments provide the affinities of even weakly binding solutes and the non-specific retention of the primary interactant. Hummel and Dreyer size-exclusion chromatography allows complementary analyses of non-immobilized membrane materials. Analyses of the human facilitative glucose transporter GLUT1 by use of the inhibitor cytochalasin B (radioactively labeled) and the competitive substrate D-glucose (non-labeled) showed that GLUT1 interconverted between two states, exhibiting one or two cytochalasin B-binding sites per two GLUTI monomers, dependent on the membrane composition and environment. Similar analyses of a nucleoside transporter, a photosynthetic reaction center, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and a P-glycoprotein, alternative techniques, and immobilized-liposome chromatographic approaches are presented briefly.

Abstract
The use of membrane proteins as chromatographic stationary phases for the quantitation of biospecific interaction between the proteins and solutes is reviewed. This method is one among the few where a membrane protein is immobilized for repeated analyses of solute binding. To our knowledge, five transmembrane proteins have been immobilized in chromatographic matrices: the glucose and nucleoside transporters from human red blood cells, the photosynthetic reaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from rat brain and a recombinant P-glycoprotein. Proteoliposomes and membrane vesicles have thereby been entrapped in size-exclusion beads, such as Superdex 200, and membrane proteins have been adsorbed on 'immobilized artificial membrane' monolayers of lipid analogs grafted to silica beads. Encouragingly, immobilized glucose transporter and P-glycoprotein showed constant interactant affinities for months. Analysis is done in the frontal mode at equilibrium because there is no separation between bound and free ligand. Both the affinity constant, which generally coincides with the corresponding constant determined by use of nonchromatographic methods, and the amount of active binding sites are obtained. The method has been successfully applied to functional analysis of membrane proteins in cells or reconstituted in lipid mono- or bilayers, screening of low-molecular interactants, investigation of protein-protein interaction and studies of effects of physico-chemical parameters on solute-protein interaction. The analyses require sensitive detection of the analyte and matching between amount of binding sites and affinity.

Abstract
GABA(A) receptors are known targets for certain classes of environmental neurotoxins and pharmaceutical compounds. Since few neural cell lines express functional GABA(A) receptors, the capacity to rapidly screen for compounds that affect GABA(A) receptor function is presently limited. Previous work has demonstrated that rat neural precursor cells express functional GABA(A) receptors that can be monitored via Ca(2+) imaging. This study examined GABA(A) receptor subunit expression to determine whether GABA(A) receptor function and its interactions with neurotoxins is preserved after passaging. Neural precursor cells isolated from embryonic day 13 rat brain were expanded in serum-free medium containing basic fibroblast growth factor and passaged three times. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated early expression of abundant mRNAs encoding various GABA(A) receptor subunits. Ca(2+) imaging showed that the highly proliferating precursor cells in passaged cultures maintained expression of functional GABA(A) receptors. In addition, we showed that trimethylolpropane phosphate, a neurotoxin generated during partial pyrolysis of a synthetic ester turbine engine lubricant, potently inhibited muscimol (GABA(A) receptor agonist) but not depolarization-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) increase. The findings of this study suggest that neural precursor cells may be well suited for the evaluation of certain environmental neurotoxins with convulsant activity. The potential use of neural precursor cells in high-throughput screens for compounds acting on GABA(A) receptors is discussed.

Abstract
Protein interactions are important in determining the transport, metabolism and/or activity of many chiral compounds within the body. This review examines data that have been obtained on these interactions by various chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, especially those based on either high-performance liquid chromatography or capillary electrophoresis. Zonal elution, frontal analysis and vacancy methods are each considered, as are approaches that employ either soluble or immobilized proteins. There are a variety of different items that can be learned about a solute-protein system through these techniques. This includes information on the binding constants and number of binding sites for a solute-protein system, as well as the thermodynamic parameters, rate constants, interaction forces and binding site structure for the protein and solute. Numerous examples are provided throughout this review, as taken from the literature and from work performed within the author's laboratory.

Abstract
Immobilized artificial-membrane chromatography is a potential in vitro technique for determining lipophilicity and studying drug transport and membrane interactions. It is reproducible, efficient and simple. Several other and newer applications of immobilized stationary-phase liquid chromatography have been reported, including the purification of membrane proteins, the synthesis of biomolecules and the simultaneous determination of enzyme activity and enantioselectivity. This article describes the immobilized artificial-membrane concept and provides an overview of the applications, advantages and limitations, in general, of immobilized stationary-phase chromatography.

Abstract
Two cytochalasin B-binding states of the human red blood cell facilitative glucose transporter GLUT1 were studied, one exhibiting one cytochalasin B-binding site on every second GLUT1 monomer (state 1) and the other showing one site per monomer (state 2). Quantitative affinity chromatography of cytochalasin B was performed on (a) biotinylated red blood cells, (b) cytoskeleton-depleted red blood cell membrane vesicles, and (c) GLUT1 proteoliposomes. The cells were adsorbed on streptavidin-derivatized gel beads, and the vesicles and proteoliposomes entrapped in dextran-grafted agarose gel beads. Cytochalasin B binding to free vesicles and proteoliposomes was analyzed by Hummel and Dreyer size-exclusion chromatography and ultracentrifugation. Analysis of the biotinylated cells indicated an equilibrium between the two GLUT1 states. GLUT1 in free membrane vesicles attained state 2, but was converted into state 1 on entrapment of the vesicles. Purification of GLUT1 in the presence of non-ionic detergent followed by reconstitution produced GLUT1 in state 1. This state was maintained after entrapment of the proteoliposomes. Finally, GLUT1 showed slightly higher affinity for cytochalasin B in state 1 than in state 2. In summary, the cytochalasin B-binding state of GLUT1 seemed to be affected by (a) biotinylation of the cell surface, (b) removal of the cytoskeleton at high pH and low ionic strength, (c) interaction between the dextran-grafted agarose gel matrix and the membrane vesicles, and (d) reconstitution to form proteoliposomes.

Abstract
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo was immobilised in tethered membranes. Surface plasmon resonance was used to quantify the binding of ligands and antibodies to the receptor. The orientation and structural integrity of the surface-reconstituted receptor was probed using monoclonal antibodies, demonstrating that approximately 65% of the receptors present their ligand-binding site towards the lumen of the flow cell and that at least 85% of these receptors are structurally intact. The conformation of the receptor in tethered membranes was investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and found to be practically identical to that of receptors reconstituted in lipid vesicles. The affinity of small receptor ligands was determined in a competition assay against a monoclonal antibody directed against the ligand-binding site which yielded dissociation constants in agreement with radioligand binding assays. The presented method for the functional immobilisation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in tethered membranes might be generally applicable to other membrane proteins.

Abstract
In order to study the affinity binding of c-type cytochromes to the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) by quantitative affinity chromatography (QAC), RC from Rhodobacter sphaeroides was reconstituted into liposomes composed of egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) and 2 mol% of biotinyl phosphatidylethanolamine simultaneously as the liposomes were formed and immobilized in (strept)avidin-coupled gel beads by rotary detergent dialysis. The immobilized amount was up to 80 nmol of RC and 33 micromol of lipid/g of moist gel in streptavidin-coupled Sephacryl S-1000 gel. By QAC frontal runs, retardation of mitochondrial cyt c on immobilized RC liposome columns was demonstrated. The dissociation constant for the RC-cyt c interaction was determined to be 0.20-0.57 microM. QAC studies also allowed evaluation of the orientation of reconstituted RC in immobilized liposomes by comparison of the total amount of cyt c binding sites with the amount of available binding sites obtained by QAC. It seems that the RC proteoliposomes immobilized in Sephacryl S-1000 gel exposed the cyt c binding sites on the outer surface of the liposomes due to effects of the gel network pore size and the resulting liposomal size.

Abstract
The membrane transporter P-glycoprotein (PGP) has been immobilized on an immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) LC stationary phase. The resulting PGP-IAM phase retained the ability of the native PGP to bind the known PGP-ligand vinblastine. Displacement studies using other known PGP ligands, verapamil and cyclosporin A, demonstrated that there was selective binding between vinblastine and the immobilized PGP transporter. The binding affinity (Kd value) of vinblastine for the PGP-IAM was determined to be 19+/-20 and 71+/-11 nM on two separate columns. These values are consistent with previously reported values of 9+/-2, 8+/-2, and 37+/-10 nM, which were obtained using native membranes. The Kd values obtained on the PGP-IAM for cyclosporin A and verapamil were 492+/-21 and 172+/-29 microM, respectively. These results were higher than the corresponding Kd values obtained using native membranes, but the relative affinities vinblastine > cyclosporin A >> verapamil are consistent in both approaches. During several months of experiments and storage, the PGP-IAM was found to be reproducible and stable. The stationary phase appears to be useful in the on-line screening for PGP ligands.
