Resumo: In this study we investigated the interaction between lead and the amino acid cysteine, lysine and N-acetylcysteine by testing long-term contact with ion exchanger resins and also the determination of stability constants. The importance of investigating the presence of lead in solutions for parenteral nutrition is related to the risk of internal contamination of these solutions due to the affinity between amino acids that compose these solutions and lead present in plastic packaging. The amino acids according to their relative affinities can act as carriers of metal in living organisms. The long term tests with adsorbents in form of Pb2+ showed that the higher extraction of lead occurs at amino acid that has a greater affinity for the metal and this is evidenced by the value of stability constant calculated, i.e., there was a direct relationship of the values of the calculated stability constants. Kinetic effects were not significant in this study, since the trials were of long duration. Tests with complexing agents such as EDTA and citric acid, that have known stability constants, were also performed for comparison purposes. The quantification of lead in long term tests was performed by atomic absorption spectrometry with flame and electrothermal atomization. The stability constants were obtained by potentiometry by processing the data through the software BEST®. Titrations in aqueous solutions with constant ionic strength and temperature showed that the predominant species in solution have molar ratio of 1:1 (L: M) to N-acetyl-cysteine and lysine and 1:1 and 2:1 for cysteine. The main species found for cysteine were Cys2Pb and CysPbOH with log K = 1.61 and 24.00, respectively, for N-acetylcysteine N-Acetyl-Cys2Pb, N-Acetyl-Cys2PbH and N-Acetyl-CysPbOH with log K =-1.55, 14.52 and 21.49 respectively, and for lysine LysPb with log K = 9.69. The interaction of amino acids studied with lead was also detected by the tests made with the raw material of the packaging of parenteral nutrition solutions through the analysis by AAS.
