In recent years there have been numerous reports about N
2-acetyl-L-glutamine aluminum complex (KW-110) which has been evaluated as an anti-ulcer drug, especially as a gastric mucous membrane protective one. In order to elucidate the characteristic of this drug, the interaction of various aluminum compounds, such as aluminum chloride, aluminum potassium sulfate and KW-110, with chondroitin sulfate A, one of the most important components of gastric mucous membrane, was investigated by the equilibrium dialysis method in aqueous solutions at 37° and 22°. The result are as follows ; there are two binding sites on chondroitin sulfate A for aluminum of KW-110. One has about 1.5 binding sites of relatively strong affinity (ΔF
1=-6 kcal/mol). The other has about 3.5 binding sites of relatively weak affinity (ΔF
2=-3 kcal/mol). On the other hand, there is only one binding sites on chondroitin sulfate A for aluminum ions of inorganic aluminum compounds. In the latter case, the binding sites on chondroitin sulfate A correspond to the first one for KW-110, and this kind of binding is due to the electrostatic force. Therefore it is assumed that the second one for KW-110 is characteristic of aluminum derived from KW-110.
