Kinetic Analysis of the Interaction between Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs and Cyclooxygenase-2 Using Wavelength Modulation Surface Plasmon Resonance

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on wavelength modulation technology was developed and validated for the kinetic analysis of the interactions between two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). After the effect of different concentration COX-2 on the binding capacity of the SPR biosensor surface was studied, the COX-2 was immobilized covalently onto the biosensor surface using a standard amine coupling method. The affinity constants for indomethacin, ketoprofen binding to COX-2 are 7.5 X 10(3) L/mol and 9.25X10(3) L/mol, respectively. The biosensor surface can be regenerated after being rinsed with 0.01 mol/L NaOH, and the biosensor can be used repeatedly. These indicated that the wavelength modulation SPR biosensor has the potential application in the fields of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and drug discovery.
