Mefloquine synergism with anti-tuberculosis drugs and correlation to membrane effects: Biologic, spectroscopic and molecular dynamics simulations studies. Bioorg Chem 2021; 110:104786. [PMID: 33740676 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.104786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Studies displaying the combination of mefloquine (MFL) with anti-tuberculosis (TB) substances are limited in the literature. In this work, the effect of MFL-association with two first-line anti-TB drugs and six fluoroquinolones was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistant strains. MFL showed synergistic interaction with isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and several fluoroquinolones, reaching fractional inhibitory concentration indexes (FICIs) ranging from 0.03 to 0.5. In order to better understand the observed results, two approaches have been explored: (i) spectroscopic responses attributed to the effect of MFL on physicochemical properties related to a liposomal membrane model composed by soybean asolectin; (ii) molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data regarding MFL interaction with a membrane model based on PIM2, a lipid constituent of the mycobacterial cell wall. FTIR and NMR data showed that MFL affects expressively the region between the phosphate and the first methylene groups of soybean asolectin membranes, disordering these regions. MD simulations results detected high MFL density in the glycolipid interface and showed that the drug increases the membrane lateral diffusion, enhancing its permeability. The obtained results suggest that synergistic activities related to MFL are attributed to its effect of lipid disorder and membrane permeability enhancement.

Abstract
This study describes the physicochemical properties of soybean asolectin (ASO) liposomes loaded with phycocyanin (Phy) extracted from Spirulina sp. LEB 18. The effects of Phy in the liposomes' properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), zeta (ζ)-potential, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) techniques. Phy restricted the motion of ASO polar and interface groups and disrupted the package arrangement of the lipid hydrophobic regions, as a likely effect of dipolar and π interactions related to its amino acid residues and pyrrole portions. These interactions were correlated to antiradical/antioxidant Phy responses obtained by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazil (DPPH) assay, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods, and discussed to bring new chemical perspectives about Phy-loaded liposomes-related nutraceutical applications in inflammatory and viral infection processes.

Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that relieves the symptoms of a wide variety of chronic inflammatory disorders. The structural mechanism is not yet completely understood. Our focus here is on the plasma membrane as a site of action. We examined the molecular organization of [2H31]-N-palmitoylsphingomyelin (PSM-d31) mixed with 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoylphosphatylcholine (PDPC) or 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC), as a monounsaturated control, and cholesterol (chol) (1:1:1 mol) in a model membrane by solid-state 2H NMR. The spectra were analyzed in terms of segregation into ordered SM-rich/chol-rich (raftlike) and disordered PC-rich/chol-poor (nonraft) domains that are nanoscale in size. An increase in the size of domains is revealed when POPC was replaced by PDPC. Spectra that are single-component, attributed to fast exchange between domains (<45 nm), for PSM-d31 mixed with POPC and chol become two-component, attributed to slow exchange between domains (r > 30 nm), for PSM-d31 mixed with PDPC and chol. The resolution of separate signals from PSM-d31, and correspondingly from [3α-2H1]cholesterol (chol-d1) and 1-[2H31]palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoylphosphatidylcholine (PDPC-d31), in raftlike and nonraft domains enabled us to determine the composition of the domains in the PDPC-containing membrane. Most of the lipid (28% SM, 29% chol, and 23% PDPC with respect to total lipid at 30°C) was found in the raftlike domain. Despite substantial infiltration of PDPC into raftlike domains, there appears to be minimal effect on the order of SM, implying the existence of internal structure that limits contact between SM and PDPC. Our results suggest a significant refinement to the model by which DHA regulates the architecture of ordered, sphingolipid-chol-enriched domains (rafts) in membranes.

Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6) is an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) that influences immunological, metabolic, and neurological responses through complex mechanisms. One structural mechanism by which DHA exerts its biological effects is through its ability to modify the physical organization of plasma membrane signaling assemblies known as sphingomyelin/cholesterol (SM/chol)-enriched lipid rafts. Here we studied how DHA acyl chains esterified in the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine (PC) regulate the formation of raft and non-raft domains in mixtures with SM and chol on differing size scales. Coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations showed that 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoylphosphatylcholine (PDPC) enhances segregation into domains more than the monounsaturated control, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC). Solid state 2H NMR and neutron scattering experiments provided direct experimental evidence that substituting PDPC for POPC increases the size of raft-like domains on the nanoscale. Confocal imaging of giant unilamellar vesicles with a non-raft fluorescent probe revealed that POPC had no influence on phase separation in the presence of SM/chol whereas PDPC drove strong domain segregation. Finally, monolayer compression studies suggest that PDPC increases lipid-lipid immiscibility in the presence of SM/chol compared to POPC. Collectively, the data across model systems provide compelling support for the emerging model that DHA acyl chains of PC lipids tune the size of lipid rafts, which has potential implications for signaling networks that rely on the compartmentalization of proteins within and outside of rafts.

Abstract
Concepts of solid-state NMR spectroscopy and applications to fluid membranes are reviewed in this paper. Membrane lipids with 2H-labeled acyl chains or polar head groups are studied using 2H NMR to yield knowledge of their atomistic structures in relation to equilibrium properties. This review demonstrates the principles and applications of solid-state NMR by unifying dipolar and quadrupolar interactions and highlights the unique features offered by solid-state 2H NMR with experimental illustrations. For randomly oriented multilamellar lipids or aligned membranes, solid-state 2H NMR enables direct measurement of residual quadrupolar couplings (RQCs) due to individual C-2H-labeled segments. The distribution of RQC values gives nearly complete profiles of the segmental order parameters SCD(i) as a function of acyl segment position (i). Alternatively, one can measure residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) for natural abundance lipid samples to obtain segmental SCH order parameters. A theoretical mean-torque model provides acyl-packing profiles representing the cumulative chain extension along the normal to the aqueous interface. Equilibrium structural properties of fluid bilayers and various thermodynamic quantities can then be calculated, which describe the interactions with cholesterol, detergents, peptides, and integral membrane proteins and formation of lipid rafts. One can also obtain direct information for membrane-bound peptides or proteins by measuring RDCs using magic-angle spinning (MAS) in combination with dipolar recoupling methods. Solid-state NMR methods have been extensively applied to characterize model membranes and membrane-bound peptides and proteins, giving unique information on their conformations, orientations, and interactions in the natural liquid-crystalline state.

Abstract
Bilayer lipids influence the lateral structure of the membranes, but the relationship between lipid properties and the lateral structure formed is not always understood. Model membrane studies on bilayers containing cholesterol and various phospholipids (PLs) suggest that high and low temperature melting PLs may segregate, especially in the presence of cholesterol. The effect of different PL headgroups on lateral structure of bilayers is also not clear. Here, we have examined the formation of lateral heterogeneity in increasingly complex (up to five-component) multilamellar bilayers. We have used time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy with domain-selective fluorescent probes (PL-conjugated trans-parinaric acid), and (2)H NMR spectroscopy with site or perdeuterated PLs. We have measured changes in bilayer order using such domain-selective probes both as a function of temperature and composition. Our results from time-resolved fluorescence and (2)H NMR showed that in ternary bilayers, acyl chain order and thermostability in sphingomyelin-rich domains were not affected to any greater extent by the headgroup structure of the monounsaturated PLs (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, or phosphatidylserine) in the bilayer. In the complex five-component bilayers, we could not detect major differences between the different monounsaturated PLs regarding cholesterol-induced ordering. However, cholesterol clearly influenced deuterated N-palmitoyl sphingomyelin differently than the other deuterated PLs, suggesting that cholesterol favored N-palmitoyl sphingomyelin over the other PLs. Taken together, both the fluorescence spectroscopy and (2)H NMR data suggest that the complex five-component membranes displayed lateral heterogeneity, at least in the lower temperature regimen examined.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of α-eleostearic acid (α-ESA) on the lipid peroxidation of soybean asolectin (ASO) liposomes was investigated. This effect was correlated to changes caused by the fatty acid in the membrane dynamics. The influence of α-ESA on the dynamic properties of liposomes, such as hydration, mobility and order, were followed by horizontal attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (HATR-FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and UV-vis techniques. The α-ESA showed an in vitro antioxidant activity against the damage induced by hydroxyl radical (OH) in ASO liposomes. The analysis of HATR-FTIR frequency shifts and bandwidths and (1)H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, related to specific lipid groups, showed that α-ESA causes an ordering effect on the polar and interfacial regions of ASO liposomes, which may restrict the OH diffusion in the membrane. The DSC enthalpy variation analysis suggested that the fatty acid promoted a disordering effect on lipid hydrophobic regions, which may facilitate interactions between the reactive specie and α-ESA. Turbidity results showed that α-ESA induces a global disordering effect on ASO liposomes, which may be attributed to a change in the lipid geometry and shape. Results of this study may allow a more complete view of α-ESA antioxidant mode of action against OH, considering its influence on the membrane dynamics.

Abstract
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), enriched in fish oils, are increasingly recognized to have potential benefits for treating many human afflictions. Despite the importance of PUFA, their molecular mechanism of action remains unclear. One emerging hypothesis is that phospholipids containing n-3 PUFA acyl chains modify the structure and composition of membrane rafts, thus affecting cell signaling. In this study the two major n-3 PUFA found in fish oils, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, are compared. Using solid-state (2)H NMR spectroscopy we explored the molecular organization of 1-[(2)H(31)]palmitoyl-2-eicosapentaenoylphosphatidylcholine (PEPC-d(31)) and 1-[(2)H(31)]palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoylphosphatidylcholine (PDPC-d(31)) in mixtures with sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (chol). Our results indicate that whereas both PEPC-d(31) and PDPC-d(31) can accumulate into SM-rich/chol-rich raftlike domains, the tendency for DHA to incorporate into rafts is more than twice as great as for EPA. We propose that DHA may be the more bioactive component of fish oil that serves to disrupt lipid raft domain organization. This mechanism represents an evolution in the view of how PUFA remodel membrane architecture.

Abstract
In this Account, we discuss the dynamic features of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on both planar and nonplanar substrates. Our focus is on organothiol and organic acid-based monolayers. Results from variable-temperature electrochemical, calorimetric, vibrational, and solid-state NMR spectroscopic measurements lead to a convergent description of SAM dynamics.

Abstract
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular modeling study of the interaction between alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) and phospholipids with serine, ethanolamine, or choline headgroups is presented. The experimental approach is based on 31P and 1H NMR measurements on small unilamellar vesicles (SUV), multilamellar systems (MLV), and aqueous suspensions of lipids using a direct complex preparation with alpha-CD. Molecular dynamics computer simulations are used to investigate the trajectory of alpha-CD in the vicinity of a membrane surface and the influence of the charge and dipole moment of the phospholipid headgroups. These factors of charge and orientation of dipole moment seem to play a key role in the interaction of phospholipids with alpha-CD and reflect very well the experimentally observed selectivity of the phospholipid -alpha-CD approach. However, with this approach, there is no evidence for the formation of a complex with the phospholipid headgroup (except for phosphatidylinositol) that results from electrostatic forces. Rather, after a possible extraction of the lipid from the membrane, a classical inclusion of the sn-2 chain in the cavity of alpha-CD occurs. This step depends on the alkyl chain length and saturation state of the lipids as well as on their organization (i.e., as vesicles or dispersions). Based on our results, chemical modifications of the alpha-CD molecule to control the hemolytic properties of alpha-CD are discussed.
