Thermodynamics of partitioning of phenothiazine drugs between phosphatidylcholine bilayer vesicles and water studied by second-derivative spectrophotometry.
The partition coefficients (Kps) of phenothiazine drugs (trifluoperazine, triflupromazine, chlorpromazine and promazine) between phosphatidylcholine (PC) small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) and water were determined over the temperature range of 10-40 degrees C by a second-derivative spectrophotometric method. The second derivative spectra of each drug solution containing various amounts of SUV sh...
متن کاملPhenothiazines inhibit hepatitis C virus entry, likely by increasing the fluidity of cholesterol-rich membranes.
Despite recent progress in the development of direct-acting antiviral agents against hepatitis C virus (HCV), more effective therapies are still urgently needed. We and others previously identified three phenothiazine compounds as potent HCV entry inhibitors. In this study, we show that phenothiazines inhibit HCV entry at the step of virus-host cell fusion, by intercalating into cholesterol-ric...
متن کاملInteraction of Major Phospholipids of Erythrocyte Membrane's Inner Leaflet (PS, PE) with Phenothiazine Methanesulfonylamides.
Phenothiazine derivatives, such as chlorpromazine (CPZ) and trifluoperazine (TFP), cause erythrocytes’ haemolysis when used in high concentrations. However in the concentration range of 20–30 μM they protect erythrocytes against hypotonic haemolysis and also cause stomato– and endocytosis [1]. Such shape changes are believed to be the result of preferential intercalation of cationic phenothiazi...
متن کاملIn vitro effects of ozone on human erythrocyte membranes: an EPR study.
The effects of ozone at different concentrations (10, 30, 45 g/m3) on fluidity and thermotropic properties of erythrocyte membranes were investigated by EPR using two spin probes: 5-doxylstearic acid (5-DSA) and 16-doxylstearic acid (16-DSA). The effect of ozone on the erythrocyte membrane fluidity was a dose-dependent process. The ozone at concentration of 10 g/m3 caused rigidization of the me...
متن کاملUsing DSC to characterize thermotropic phase transitions in lipid bilayer membranes
Lipids are fundamental constituents of cell membranes, forming a lipid bilayer into or onto the surface of which proteins and other constituents are incorporated or bound. Biological membranes require a mainly fluid environment for proper function, but different states of fluidity are also important, as these provide membrane compartmentalization (such as lipid-raft domains in plasma membranes,...
