Abstract:ObjectiveTo use α1AAR(α1Aadrenocepter) chromatography for studying the biological affinity of piperazine compounds. MethodsAffinity chromatography was used to purify α1AAR obtained from rabbit heart. α1AAR was immobilized on macroporous silica through the covalent bond by mild chemical coupling methods. The retention characteristics of α1AAR column were investigated with terazosin, norepinephrine, tamsulosin, metaraminol, and urapidil. Six piperazine compounds were synthesized, and the interactions between the compounds and α1AAR were investigated by the chromatographic model. ResultsBiological affinity was found between the synthesized piperazine compounds and α1AAR,with the order of affinity intensities being compound 3>compound 4>compound 1>compound 2>compound 5>compound 6. Conclusionα1AAR chromatography is a specific and reliable biological affinity chromatography and can be used for preliminary study of drug activity.
