Relative change in retention factor for sulfonylurea drugs on a normal and glycated HSA columns in the presence of various fatty acids

Fatty acid
(Concentration range)
Drug and relative change in retention
Acetohexamide Gliclazide Tolbutamide Glybenclamideb
Normal HSA
Lauric acid (0-60 nM) 27% 41% 26% 8%
Linoleic acid (0-250 nM) 3% 4% 4% 15%
Myristic acid (0-30 nM) 27% 33% 22% (7%)b
Oleic acid (0-546 nM) 15% 8% 16% 11%
Palmitic acid (0-400 nM) 10% 15% 11% 11%
Stearic acid (0-80 nM) 5% 4% 4% 2%
Glycated HSA
Lauric acid (0-6 nM) 14% 18% 13% 15%
Linoleic acid (0-250 nM) 18% 22% 18% 17%
Myristic acid (0-30 nM) 25% 31% 23% 15%
Oleic acid (0-546 nM) 9% 15% 11% 12%
Palmitic acid (0-400 nM) 81% 79% 84% 52%
Stearic acid (0-80 nM) 20% 26% 20% 18%
a

All of these studies were conducted at 37°C in the presence of pH 7.4, 67 mM potassium phosphate buffer.

b

All of the above relative changes represent a decrease in retention except for glybenclamide in the presence of myristic acid, which gave a slight increase in retention at the highest tested concentration of this fatty acid.
