Enantioselective Binding of Proton Pump Inhibitors to Alpha1-Acid Glycoprotein and Human Serum Albumin-A Chromatographic, Spectroscopic, and In Silico Study.

The enantioselective binding of three proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)-omeprazole, rabeprazole, and lansoprazole-to two key plasma proteins, α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and human serum albumin (HSA), was characterized.
