Abstract :
[en] Infrared and colorimetry data suggest that bisbenzamidines connected by various rigid or flexible linkers are able to interact with heme in cell-free systems. At pH 5.0 the inhibition of formation of ß-hematin could be ascertained by infrared spectroscopy whereas at pH 7.0 the interaction yielded insoluble complexes for which a sandwich-type structure of stoichiometry 2:1, heme-drug, is tentatively proposed. IR spectra and colorimetry data indicated that bisbenzamidines readily interact with heme in cell-free systems at pH 5.0 and 7.0.
