Evaluating the biomolecular interaction between delamanid/formulations and human serum albumin by fluorescence, CD spectroscopy and SPR: Effects on protein conformation, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters.

Delamanid is an anti-tuberculosis drug used for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Since delamanid has a high protein bound potential, even patients with low albumin levels should experience high and rapid delamanid clearance. However, the interaction between delamanid and albumin should be better controlled to optimize drug efficacy. This study was designed to evaluate the binding characteristics of delamanid to human serum albumin (HSA) using various methods: fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and molecular docking simulation. The fluorescence emission band without any shift indicated the interaction was not affected by the polarity of the fluorophore microenvironment. The reduction of fluorescence intensity at 344 nm was proportional to the increment of delamanid concentration as a fluorescence quencher. UV-absorbance measurement at the maximum wavelength (λ
