abstract = {Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced
by several fungal species of the genus Penicillium and
Aspergillus. 2′R-Ochratoxin A (2′R-OTA) is a thermal
isomerization product of OTA formed during food processing
at high temperatures. Both compounds are detectable in human
blood in concentrations between 0.02 and 0.41 µg/L with
2′R-OTA being only detectable in the blood of coffee
drinkers. Humans have approximately a fifty-fold higher
exposure through food consumption to OTA than to 2′R-OTA.
In human blood, however, the differences between the
concentrations of the two compounds is, on average, only a
factor of two. To understand these unexpectedly high
2′R-OTA concentrations found in human blood, the affinity
of this compound to the most abundant protein in human blood
the human serum albumin (HSA) was studied and compared to
that of OTA, which has a well-known high binding affinity.
Using fluorescence spectroscopy, equilibrium dialysis,
circular dichroism (CD), high performance affinity
chromatography (HPAC), and molecular modelling experiments,
the affinities of OTA and 2′R-OTA to HSA were determined
and compared with each other. For the affinity of HSA
towards OTA, a logK of 7.0–7.6 was calculated, while for
its thermally produced isomer 2′R-OTA, a lower, but still
high, logK of 6.2–6.4 was determined. The data of all
experiments showed consistently that OTA has a higher
affinity to HSA than 2′R-OTA. Thus, differences in the
affinity to HSA cannot explain the relatively high levels of
2′R-OTA found in human blood samples},
