Abstract: The binding mechanism between Rifabutin(RB) and human serum albumin(HSA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and CD. The results show that RB quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA via a combination of static and dynamic quenching processes and hydrophobic interaction played a major role in stabilizing the RB-HSA complex. The binding constant Ka was calculated to be in the order of 106, indicating a strong interaction between RB and HSA. In addition, influences of metal ion(Cu2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) on Ka were studied. Moreover, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism(CD)reveal the conformational change of HSA upon binding with RB.

Key words: Rifabutin(RB), Human serum albumin(HSA), Fluorescence spectroscopy, Circular dichroism
