[PMID: 36174723 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2022.105240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the potential of 1-alkyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromides as fungicides and evaluate their impact on the human respiratory system when spread in the atmosphere. We investigated the behavior of membrane lipids and model membranes in the presence of a series of amphiphilic 1-alkyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromides ([MePipCn][Br]), differing in the alkyl chain length (n = 4 - 18). The experiments were performed with the Langmuir monolayer technique using 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and ergosterol (ERG)-the main components of lung surfactant and fungal plasma membrane, respectively and their mixtures with phospholipids and sterols. The mixtures were chosen as the representatives of target and non-target organisms. The surface pressure-area isotherms were obtained by compressing monolayers in the presence of [MePipCn][Br] in the subphase. The results were analyzed in terms of area expansion/contraction and compressibility. The surface activity of the studied organic salts was also studied. In addition, the monolayers were deposited on a solid surface and their topography was investigated using atomic force microscopy. This research implies that the studied compounds may destabilize efficiently the fungal plasma membrane. At the same time we demonstrated the significant impact of 1-alkyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromides on the lung surfactant layer. The interaction between [MePipCn][Br] and model membranes depends on the concentration and alkyl chain length of organic salt. The key role of contact time has been also revealed. The results may be helpful in the reasonable development of new agrochemical products aiming at the treatment of fungal infections in plants. In addition, our study indicates the significance of proper safety management while spreading the fungicides in the environment.

Abstract
The multidrug-resistant Candida auris often defies treatments and presently represents a worldwide public health threat. Currently, the ergosterol-targeting Amphotericin B (AmB) and the DNA/RNA-synthesis inhibitor 5-flucytosine (5-FC) are the two main drugs available for first-line defense against life-threatening Candida auris infections. However, important aspects of their mechanisms of action require further clarification, especially regarding metabolic reactions of yeast cells. Here, we applied Raman spectroscopy empowered with specifically tailored machine-learning algorithms to monitor and to image in situ the susceptibility of two Candida auris clades to different antifungal drugs (LSEM 0643 or JCM15448T, belonging to the East Asian Clade II; and, LSEM 3673 belonging to the South African Clade III). Raman characterizations provided new details on the mechanisms of action against Candida auris Clades II and III, while also unfolding differences in their metabolic reactions to different drugs. AmB treatment induced biofilm formation in both clades, but the formed biofilms showed different structures: a dense and continuous biofilm structure in Clade II, and an extra-cellular matrix with a “fluffy” and discontinuous structure in Clade III. Treatment with 5-FC caused no biofilm formation but yeast-to-hyphal or pseudo-hyphal morphogenesis in both clades. Clade III showed a superior capacity in reducing membrane permeability to the drug through chemically tailoring chitin structure with a high degree of acetylation and fatty acids networks with significantly elongated chains. This study shows the suitability of the in situ Raman method in characterizing susceptibility and stress response of different C. auris clades to antifungal drugs, thus opening a path to identifying novel clinical solutions counteracting the spread of these alarming pathogens.

Langmuir Monolayer Techniques for the Investigation of Model Bacterial Membranes and Antibiotic Biodegradation Mechanisms. MEMBRANES 2021; 11:membranes11090707.

Abstract
The amounts of antibiotics of anthropogenic origin released and accumulated in the environment are known to have a negative impact on local communities of microorganisms, which leads to disturbances in the course of the biodegradation process and to growing antimicrobial resistance. This mini-review covers up-to-date information regarding problems related to the omnipresence of antibiotics and their consequences for the world of bacteria. In order to understand the interaction of antibiotics with bacterial membranes, it is necessary to explain their interaction mechanism at the molecular level. Such molecular-level interactions can be probed with Langmuir monolayers representing the cell membrane. This mini-review describes monolayer experiments undertaken to investigate the impact of selected antibiotics on components of biomembranes, with particular emphasis on the role and content of individual phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides (LPS). It is shown that the Langmuir technique may provide information about the interactions between antibiotics and lipids at the mixed film surface (π–A isotherm) and about the penetration of the active substances into the phospholipid monolayer model membranes (relaxation of the monolayer). Effects induced by antibiotics on the bacterial membrane may be correlated with their bactericidal activity, which may be vital for the selection of appropriate bacterial consortia that would ensure a high degradation efficiency of pharmaceuticals in the environment.

Abstract
The increasing resistance of many pathogens to most of the common antimicrobials requires the development of new substances with more effective antimicrobial properties. In the present work, we investigated the mechanism of the antimicrobial activity of novel water soluble ammonium quaternary benzanthrone (Compound B) on model membranes, composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylglycerol, and dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE). The lipids were chosen to represent a model of a bacterial membrane. The changes in surface pressure of the model membranes, before and after the addition of Compound B, were studied by the Langmuir's monolayer method, and the compressional modulus for each monolayer was determined. In addition, the surface morphology of the lipid monolayers before and after injection of Compound B was monitored by Brewster Angle Microscopy. The results showed that Compound B penetrated all the monolayers studied. The most noticeable effects were found with the negatively charged phosphatidylglycerols and with DPPE leading to the conclusion that the electrostatic interactions between the compound and the lipid head groups and the possible formation of hydrogen bonds between the amino group of the ethanolamine and the keto groups in the structure of Compound B are of great importance. In addition, the penetration ability of the benzoquinone with all phospholipids studied was stable even at higher values of the surface pressure, i.e. thicker monolayers, due to the hydrophobic interaction, which plays also an important role for the antimicrobial activity of Compound B.

Abstract
The most effective medicines available for the treatment of leishmaniasis, a life-threatening disease, exhibit serious toxicological issues. To achieve better therapeutic efficiency while decreasing toxicity associated with amphotericin B (AmB), water-soluble dextrin-AmB (Dex-AmB) formulations were developed. Self-assembled nanocomplexes were formed by dissolving Dex and AmB in alkaline borate buffer, followed by dialysis and either freeze-drying (FD) or nano spray-drying (SD), yielding water dispersible particles with a diameter of 214 nm and 347 nm, respectively. The very simple production process allowed the formation of amorphous inclusion complexes containing 14% of AmB in the form of monomers and water-soluble aggregates. Nanocomplexes were effective against parasites in axenic culture (IC50 of 0.056 and 0.096 μM for L. amazonensis and 0.030 and 0.044 μM for L. infantum, respectively for Dex-AmB FD and Dex-AmB SD) and in decreasing the intramacrophagic infection with L. infantum (IC50 of 0.017 and 0.023 μM, respectively for Dex-AmB FD and Dex-AmB SD). Also, the formulations were able to significantly reduce the cytotoxicity of AmB. Overall, this study demonstrates the suitability of dextrin as an AmB carrier and the facile and inexpensive development of a delivery system for the treatment of leishmaniasis.

Abstract
Soil fungi play an important role in the environment decomposing dead organic matter and degrading persistent organic pollutants (POP). The presence of hydrophobic POP in the soil and membrane-lytic substances excreted by competing microorganism to the soil solution is the constant threat to these organisms. To survive in the harsh environment and counteract these hazards the fungal cells have to strictly control the composition of the lipids in their cellular membranes. However, in the case of fungal membranes the correlation between their composition and physical properties is not fully understood. In our studies we applied Langmuir monolayers formed by phospholipids typical to fungal membranes and ergosterol as versatile model membranes. These membranes were characterized by the Langmuir technique, Brewster Angle Microscopy and Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction, as well as were exposed to the action of phospholipase A2 treated as a model membrane-lytic protein. We started our studies from the equimolar mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine with phosphatidylcholine and doped this matrix with phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphatidylinositol (PI). It turned out that the membranes with PS were much more condensed at the mesoscale and periodically organized at the molecular level. Starting from these models we derived two families of model fungal membranes adding to these phospholipid matrices ergosterol. It turned out that the level of ergosterol content is of crucial importance for the model membrane structure and its durability. Changing the ergosterol mole ratio from 0 to 0.5 we defined and described in detail four different 2D crystalline phases.

Abstract
Fungal osteomyelitis has been difficult to treat, with first-line treatments consisting of implant excision, radical debridement, and local release of high-dose antifungal agents. Locally impregnated antifungal beads are another popular treatment option. This study aimed to develop biodegradable antifungal-agent-loaded Poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) beads and evaluate the in vitro/in vivo release patterns of amphotericin B and fluconazole from the beads. Beads of different sizes were formed using a compression-molding method, and their morphology was evaluated via scanning electron microscopy. Intrabead incorporation of antifungal agents was evaluated via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and in vitro fluconazole liberation curves of PLGA beads were inspected via high-performance liquid chromatography. When we implanted the drug-incorporated beads into the bone cavity of rabbits, we found that a high level of fluconazole (beyond the minimum therapeutic concentration [MTC]) was released for more than 49 d in vivo. Our results indicate that compression-molded PLGA/fluconazole beads have potential applications in treating bone infections.

Abstract
In this chapter, we review the physical properties of lipid/cholesterol mixtures involving studies of model membranes using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The approach allows one to quantify the average membrane structure, fluctuations, and elastic deformation upon cholesterol interaction. Emphasis is placed on understanding the membrane structural deformation and emergent fluctuations at an atomistic level. Lineshape measurements using solid-state NMR spectroscopy give equilibrium structural properties, while relaxation time measurements study the molecular dynamics over a wide timescale range. The equilibrium properties of glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and their binary and tertiary mixtures with cholesterol are accessible. Nonideal mixing of cholesterol with other lipids explains the occurrence of liquid-ordered domains. The entropic loss upon addition of cholesterol to sphingolipids is less than for glycerophospholipids, and may drive formation of lipid rafts. The functional dependence of 2H NMR spin-lattice relaxation (R 1Z) rates on segmental order parameters (S CD) for lipid membranes is indicative of emergent viscoelastic properties. Addition of cholesterol shows stiffening of the bilayer relative to the pure lipids and this effect is diminished for lanosterol. Opposite influences of cholesterol and detergents on collective dynamics and elasticity at an atomistic scale can potentially affect lipid raft formation in cellular membranes.

Abstract
Oxazolidine derivatives (OxD) are five ring-membered compounds that contain at least one oxygen and nitrogen in their molecular structure. OxD are known due to several therapeutic activities such as anticancer and antibiotic properties. In this paper, we performed a thermodynamic analysis of the mixed films composed by dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), dipalmitoylphosphoethanolamine (DPPE), dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or L-α phosphatidylcholine (PC) with a novel oxazolidine derivate (OxD). Relevant thermodynamic parameters such as excess areas (ΔAE), excess free energies (ΔG), and Gibbs free energy of mixing (AGmix) were derived from the surface pressure data. The topographical analysis was performed using atomic force microscopy. Based on the calculated values of the thermodynamic parameters, we observed that the miscibility of the mixed films was directly dependent on their composition. DPPG/OxD and DPPE/OxD systems present the best-mixed character at low pressures at OxD molar fraction equivalent to 0.25.

Abstract
The molecular action of polyene macrolides with antifungal activity, amphotericin B and natamycin, involves recognition of sterols in membranes. Physicochemical and functional studies have contributed details to understanding the interactions between amphotericin B and ergosterol and, to a lesser extent, with cholesterol. Fewer molecular details are available on interactions between natamycin with sterols. We use solid state (13)C MAS NMR to characterize the impact of amphotericin B and natamycin on mixed lipid membranes of DOPC/cholesterol or DOPC/ergosterol. In cholesterol-containing membranes, amphotericin B addition resulted in marked increase in both DOPC and cholesterol (13)C MAS NMR linewidth, reflecting membrane insertion and cooperative perturbation of the bilayer. By contrast, natamycin affects little either DOPC or cholesterol linewidth but attenuates cholesterol resonance intensity preferentially for sterol core with lesser impact on the chain. Ergosterol resonances, attenuated by amphotericin B, reveal specific interactions in the sterol core and chain base. Natamycin addition selectively augmented ergosterol resonances from sterol core ring one and, at the same time, from the end of the chain. This puts forward an interaction model similar to the head-to-tail model for amphotericin B/ergosterol pairing but with docking on opposite sterol faces. Low toxicity of natamycin is attributed to selective, non-cooperative sterol engagement compared to cooperative membrane perturbation by amphotericin B.

Abstract
Didehydroroflamycoin (DDHR), a recently isolated member of the polyene macrolide family, was shown to have antibacterial and antifungal activity. However, its mechanism of action has not been investigated. Antibiotics from this family are amphiphilic; thus, they have membrane activity, their biological action is localized in the membrane, and the membrane composition and physical properties facilitate the recognition of a particular compound by the target organism. In this work, we use model lipid membranes comprised of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) for a systematic study of the action of DDHR. In parallel, experiments are conducted using filipin III and amphotericin B, other members of the family, and the behavior observed for DDHR is described in the context of that of these two heavily studied compounds. The study shows that DDHR disrupts membranes via two different mechanisms and that the involvement of these mechanisms depends on the presence of cholesterol. The leakage assays performed in GUVs and the conductance measurements using black lipid membranes (BLM) reveal that the pores that develop in the absence of cholesterol are transient and their size is dependent on the DDHR concentration. In contrast, cholesterol promotes the formation of more defined structures that are temporally stable.

Abstract
In the past decade substantial progress has been made in understanding the organization and biological activity of amphotericin B (AmB) in the presence of sterols in lipid environments. This review concentrates mainly on interactions of AmB with lipids and sterols, AmB channel formation in membranes, AmB aggregation, AmB modifications important for understanding its biological activity, and AmB models explaining its mechanism of action. Most of the reviewed studies concern monolayers at the water–gas interface, monolayers deposited on a solid substrate by use of the Langmuir–Blodgett technique, micelles, vesicles, and multi-bilayers. Liposomal AmB formulations and drug delivery are intentionally omitted, because several reviews dedicated to this subject are already available.

Abstract
Amphotericin B is a Streptomyces nodosus metabolite and one of the oldest polyene antibiotics used in the treatment of invasive systemic fungal infections. Despite its over 50-year existence in clinical practice and the recognition of amphotericin B as the gold standard in the treatment of serious systemic mycosis, it still remains one of the most toxic pharmaceuticals. Understanding of the processes at the molecular levels and the interactions between amphotericin B with lipid membranes containing sterols should elucidate the mechanisms of the action and toxicity of this widely used antibiotic. In this work, we use X-ray reflectivity to study the structural changes on a molecular scale after amphotericin B incorporation. These changes are accompanied by an increase in monolayer surface pressure which is more pronounced for ergosterol - rather than cholesterol-rich membranes. The data indicate that this difference is not due to the higher affinity of amphotericin B towards ergosterol-containing membranes but is rather due to a ~3Angstrom corrugation of the monolayer. Furthermore, the total quantity of amphotericin B incorporated into lipid monolayers containing cholesterol and ergosterol is the same.

Effect of structure on the interactions between five natural antimicrobial compounds and phospholipids of bacterial cell membrane on model monolayers. Molecules 2014; 19:7497-515.

Abstract
Monolayers composed of bacterial phospholipids were used as model membranes to study interactions of the naturally occurring phenolic compounds 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde, and the plant essential oil compounds carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, and geraniol, previously found to be active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic microorganisms. The lipid monolayers consist of 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE), 1,2-dihexa- decanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) (DPPG), and 1,1',2,2'-tetratetradecanoyl cardiolipin (cardiolipin). Surface pressure–area (π-A) and surface potential–area (Δψ-A) isotherms were measured to monitor changes in the thermodynamic and physical properties of the lipid monolayers. Results of the study indicated that the five compounds modified the three lipid monolayer structures by integrating into the monolayer, forming aggregates of antimicrobial –lipid complexes, reducing the packing effectiveness of the lipids, increasing the membrane fluidity, and altering the total dipole moment in the monolayer membrane model. The interactions of the five antimicrobial compounds with bacterial phospholipids depended on both the structure of the antimicrobials and the composition of the monolayers. The observed experimental results provide insight into the mechanism of the molecular interactions between naturally-occurring antimicrobial compounds and phospholipids of the bacterial cell membrane that govern activities.
