Abstract

The plasma protein binding properties of the calcium channel blocker diltiazem were studied using a three-chamber equilibrium dialysis system. Diltiazem is 81% bound to human sera with significant inter-individual variation. The relative binding of diltiazem by lipoproteins and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein was higher than by albumin. The binding to low density lipoprotein was strong and appeared not to be associated with the surface apoprotein.
