Abstract
Interaction between phospholipid monolayers (dihexadecyl phosphate: DHP, dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline: DPPC) and water soluble ethanol has been studied using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method and quartz crystal impedance (QCI) method. The quartz crystal oscillator was attached horizontally on the DHP and DPPC monolayers that were formed on the water surface. At low concentration, increased ethanol concentration decreased the frequency for QCM and increased the resistance for QCI. Both frequency and resistance approached asymptotically to a saturation value. A further increase in ethanol concentration induced a sudden and discontinuous linear change (a decrease in frequency and an increase in resistance). Based on these results, we propose the following action mechanism of ethanol on phospholipid monolayers: at low concentration, the ethanol hydrates adsorb into the monolayer/water interface and saturate on the interface. The monolayer viscosity also increases with the adsorption of hydrates. A further increase in concentration causes multilayer formation of hydrates and/or penetration of hydrates into the monolayer core. The viscosity of the interfacial layer (monolayer and interfacial structured water) changes dramatically according to the action of ethanol hydrates.

Abstract
The translational and rotational electrokinetics of the anesthetic-induced spectral transitions bR568-->bR480-->bR380 of bacteriorhodopsin have been investigated. Formation of the bR480 form is associated with an increase of the purple membrane negative electrokinetic charge, while the transformation of bR480 into bR380 is accompanied by a decrease of the membrane negative charge as compared to that of the 480 nm-absorbing form. Removal of anesthetics leads to the back transitions bR480-->bR568 and (in part) bR380-->bR568; however, the electrokinetic charge of the native membranes is not restored. A strong decrease in the electric polarizability and the appearance of a slow polarizability component are also observed in anesthetic-treated membranes. Comparison with the electrokinetic behaviour of partially delipidated membranes and with that of liposomes composed of purple membrane total lipids suggests that: (i) anesthetic molecules partition mainly at the protein/lipid interface inducing irreversible rearrangement of the boundary lipid layer, and (ii) different mode(s) or site(s) of interaction are responsible for the spectral and surface charge effects. The data are compatible with the hypothesis of anesthetics acting through partial dehydration of the membrane surface.

Abstract
The effects of volatile anesthetics on the properties of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine liposome were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy with a thiacarbocyanine dye (3,3"-dioctadecyl-2,2"-thiacarbocyanine) which is sensitive to the viscosity and the dielectric constant of the environment. Seven volatile anesthetics, halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, methoxyflurane, sevoflurane, diethylether and chloroform were used. All anesthetics decreased the phase transition temperature of the liposome and increased the effective dielectric constant of the water-liposome interface. The increase of the effective dielectric constant was attributed to the release of the hydrated water molecules from the membrane surface. The increment of the effective dielectric constant depended on the thermodynamic activity of anesthetics in the solution, and was not affected seriously by the kind of anesthetics. On the other hand, the degree of the depression of the phase transition temperature depended on the molar concentrations of anesthetics. Considering from the Ferguson's report, which is dealt with the relationship between the physiological effect and the thermodynamic activity, the effect of anesthetics on the effective dielectric constant of the membrane surface is more correlated to the anesthetic action than the effect on the phase transition temperature.

Abstract
The effect of various alkanols on the central nervous system was studied by using rat brain synaptosomal membranes as an in vitro model. The activity of (Ca2+/Mg2+)ATPase and the membrane fluidity were determined. The n-alkanols exhibited an increased molar inhibition of the ATPase activity with an increase in the carbon chain length up to 1-octanol. 1-octanol and 1-decanol caused a biphasic effect on the ATPase activity depending on the alkanol concentration, whereas 1-dodecanol caused a stimulation of the ATPase activity. All alkanols studied caused an increased fluidity of the membrane. Our results indicate that the effect of alkanols on the ATPase activity depends on changes in the border layer between the membrane and the surrounding medium and on a binding of the alkanols to the enzyme molecule. Furthermore, the two-way effect of 1-octanol and 1-decanol and the stimulatory effect of 1-dodecanol indicate that more mechanisms are involved. In addition, the results indicate that changes in the membrane fluidity do not seem to be a prerequisite of the ATPase inhibition.

Abstract
Presence of specific receptors for volatile anesthetics has recently been proposed (Evers, A.S. et al. (1987) Nature 328, 157-160) by a finding that halothane uptake by the rat brain was characterized, in part, by saturable binding. We report here that volatile anesthetics bind model lipid membranes also with saturable and unsaturable kinetics. Binding of enflurane to dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicle membranes was measured by gas chromatography. At low anesthetic concentrations, comparable to the clinical level, the interaction was saturable. After reaching a temporary saturation, a sudden increase in the anesthetic binding to the membrane occurred, when the anesthetic concentration in the aqueous phase exceeded 2.7 mM, or 6.3 x 10(-2) atm partial pressure in the gas phase in equilibrium with the aqueous phase. The secondary binding was linear to the aqueous anesthetic concentrations and was unsaturable to the limit of this study. We also found that enflurane self-aggregated in water above 4 mM. When the aqueous concentration exceeded 6 mM, the aggregation number was about 8. We conclude that the saturable binding indicates adsorption onto the vesicle surface, and the unsaturable binding indicates multilayer stacking of the enflurane molecules, where the initially adsorbed molecules provide the binding sites to the succeeding molecules according to the multilayer condensation kinetics. The tendency of enflurane to self-aggregate in water promotes the multilayer stacking at the surface of the membrane.

Abstract
The effect of 1-alkanols (from 1-butanol up to 1-dodecanol) on the water permeability of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicle membranes was studied by measuring the osmotic swelling rate as functions of 1-alkanol concentrations and temperatures above the gel-to-liquid-crystalline phase transition. For 1-butanol and 1-hexanol, the activation energy for water permeation was invariant with the addition of alkanols, whereas for 1-octanol, 1-decanol and 1-dodecanol, the activation energy decreased depending on the alkanol concentration, and the extent of the decrease was larger for alkanol with a longer hydrocarbon chain. These results suggests that hydrocarbon moiety beyond seven or eight carbon atoms from the head group in phospholipid molecules constitutes the main barrier for water permeation through the dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicle membrane. The relative volume change of the vesicle due to osmotic swelling increased with the addition of 1-alkanols. Presumably, the membrane structural strength is weakened by the presence of 1-alkanols in the membrane. Contrary to the dependence of the swelling rate upon the alkanol carbon-chain length, no significant difference in the effect on the relative volume changes was seen among the 1-alkanols. This result suggests that weakening of the membrane structure is caused by perturbation of the membrane/water interface induced by incorporation of 1-alkanols into the membrane.

Abstract
We have compared ligand effects between polar and apolar anesthetic molecules upon water transport across phospholipid membranes by kinetic analysis of the osmotic swelling rate, using a stopped-flow technique. Chloroform and 1-hexanol were used as interfacial ligands, and carbon tetrachloride and n-hexane were used as their counterparts, representing lipid core action. Because anesthetics transform the solid-gel membrane into a liquid-crystalline state, and because phospholipid membranes display an anomaly in permeability at the phase transition, dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles were studied at temperatures above the main phase transition to avoid this anomaly. All these molecules increased the osmotic swelling rate. However, a significant difference was observed in the activation energy, delta Ep, between polar and apolar molecules; delta Ep was almost unaltered by the addition of polar molecules (chloroform and 1-hexanol), whereas it was decreased by apolar molecules (carbon tetrachloride and n-hexane). The obtained results were analyzed in terms of the dissolution-diffusion mechanism for water permeation across the lipid membrane. It is suggested that polar molecules affect water permeability by altering the partition of water between the membrane interior and water phase, and apolar molecules affect it by altering both the partition and the diffusion of water within the membrane interior.

Abstract
Water-in-oil emulsion was prepared from glycerol-alpha-monooleate, n-decane and water, and was used to analyze the behavior of bound water molecules in response to the addition of an inhalation anesthetic, enflurane. The motion of water molecules is monitored by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. To the first approximation, the half-height width of the proton signal of dispersed water is related to the spin-spin relaxation time and represents the motion of the water molecule. It appears that one of the two OH moieties of glycerol-alpha-monooleate forms a hydrogen bond with the water molecule in average. The half-height width of the dispersed water proton showed a maximal value when the glycerol alpha-monooleate/n-decane mole ratio was 4 X 10(-2). The cause of this maximum is not immediately clear, but it is suggested that the assembly mode of glycerol-alpha-monooleate may be different between the lower and higher concentration range. Enflurane decreased the half-height width of the dispersed water, indicating an increase in the motion of water molecules. This results demonstrates that the anesthetic weakened the hydrogen bond between water and glycerol-alpha-monooleate molecules, and released bound interfacial water. It is postulated that dehydration of the interface, as shown by the release of bound water, would interfere with the transport of current-carrying hydrated ions through membranes and may constitute a molecular mechanism of anesthesia.
