The objective of this study was to 1) identify the binding site(s) of HKI-272 to human plasma protein(s); 2) characterize the nature of the binding; and 3) evaluate the potential reversibility of the covalent binding. After incubation of [14C]HKI-272 with human plasma, the mixture was directly injected on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and an intact molecular mass of HKI-272 human serum albumin (HSA) adduct was determined to be 66,999 Da, which is 556 Da (molecular mass of HKI-272) larger than the measured molecular mass of HSA (66,443 Da). For peptide mapping, the incubation mixture was separated with SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by tryptic digestion combined with LC/tandem MS. A radioactive peptide fragment, LDELRDEGKASSAK [amino acid (AA) residue 182–195 of albumin], was confirmed to covalently bind to HKI-272. In addition, after HCl hydrolysis, a radioactive HKI-272-lysine adduct was identified by LC/MS. After combining the results of tryptic digestion and HCl hydrolysis, the AA residue of Lys190 of HSA was confirmed to covalently bind to HKI-272. A standard HKI-272-lysine was synthesized and characterized by NMR. The data showed that the adduct was formed via Michael addition with the ε-amine of lysine attacking to the β-carbon of the amide moiety of HKI-272. Furthermore, reversibility of the covalent binding of HKI-272 to HSA was shown when a gradual release of HKI-272 was observed from protein pellet of HKI-272-treated human plasma after resuspension in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, at 37°C for 18 h.
