It is generally accepted that P-glycoprotein binds its substrates in the lipid phase of themembrane. Quantification and characterization of the lipid-transporter binding step are, however, still amatter of debate. We therefore selected 15 structurally diverse drugs and measured the binding constantsfrom water to the activating (inhibitory) binding region of P-glycoprotein, Ktw(1) (Ktw(2)), as well as thelipid-water partition coefficients, Klw. The former were obtained by measuring the concentrations ofhalf-maximum activation (inhibition), K1 (K2), in living NIH-MDR-G185 mouse embryo fibroblasts usinga Cytosensor microphysiometer, and the latter were derived from surface activity measurements. Thisallowed determination of the membrane concentration of drugs at half-maximum P-glycoprotein activation(Cb(1) = (0.02 to 67) mmol/L lipid), which is much higher than the corresponding aqueous concentration(K1 = (0.02 to 376) M). Moreover we determined the free energy of drug binding from water to theactivating binding region of the transporter (Gtw(1) = (-30 to -54) kJ/mol), the free energy of drugpartitioning into the lipid membrane (Glw = (-23 to -34) kJ/mol), and, as the difference of the two,the free energy of drug binding from the lipid membrane to the activating binding region of the transporter(Gtl(1) = (-7 to -27) kJ/mol). For the compounds tested Gtl(1) was less negative than Glw butvaried more strongly. The free energies of substrate binding to the transporter within the lipid phase,Gtl(1), are consistent with a modular binding concept, where the energetically most efficient bindingmodule comprises two hydrogen bond acceptor groups.
