The competition interaction of two active components of Chinese traditional herb, ferulic acid (FA) and paeonol (PAE), with immobilized human serum albumin (HSA) on chromatographic support under human physiological condition (pH 7.4) has been investigated by high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). Based upon the assumption that there were several independent types of binding sites on an HSA molecule for each drug, the interaction of immobilized HSA with FA and PAE was investigated by frontal analysis and competition displacement analysis. The results showed that there was only a single binding site in the HSA molecule for FA and PAE. As FA and PAE coexisted, they had a direct competition for the indole site (site II) of HSA molecule. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the main force between HSA and FA or PAE was deduced to be hydrogen bonding. The conclusion that both PAE and FA competed with each other for the same binding site of HSA molecule could be used to explain some phenomena in the Chinese medicine clinic, in which the clinical efficacy of each drug can be improved by utilizing the compatibility of Chinese traditional medicine.
