The quenching interaction of atomoxetine (ATX) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied in vitro under optimal physiological condition (pH=7.4) by multi-spectroscopic techniques. The mechanism of ATX-BSA system was a dynamic quenching process and was confirmed by the fluorescence spectra and lifetime measurements. The number of binding sites, binding constants and other binding characteristics were computed. Thermodynamic parameters Delta H-0 and Delta S-0 indicated that intermolecular hydrophobic forces predominantly stabilized the drug-protein system. The average binding distance between BSA and ATX was studied by Forsters theory. UV-absorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), circular dichroism (CD), synchronous spectra and three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence spectral results revealed the changes in micro-environment of secondary structure of protein upon the interaction with ATX. Displacement of site probes and the effects of some common metal ions on the binding of ATX with BSA interaction were also studied.
