Background To investigate the interaction of pendimethalin (PM), a commonly used herbicide, with various mammalian serum albumins. Methods The interactions of PM with serum albumins of bovine (BSA), sheep (SSA), porcine (PSA) and rabbit (RbSA) were studied using fluorescence quenching titration and site marker displacement experiments. Results A comparison of the PM-induced quenching of the fluorescence of these albumins with that published for human serum albumin (HSA) showed similarity between BSA and HSA. The PM binding affinity of these albumins was found to follow the order: SSA>BSA>RbSA>PSA. Warfarin (WFN) displacement results also suggested similar displacing action of PM on WFN-BSA complex, when compared to the published results on WFN-HSA complex. Conclusion The results suggested close similarity between BSA and HSA in terms of PM binding characteristics and hence bovine can be selected as a suitable animal model for further toxicological studies of PM.
