Pérez-Isidoro R, Costas M. The effect of neuroleptic drugs on DPPC/sphingomyelin/cholesterol membranes. Chem Phys Lipids 2020; 229:104913.

Abstract
The hydrophobic nature of neuroleptic drugs renders that these molecules interact not only with protein receptors, but also with the lipids constituting the membrane bilayer. We present a systematic study of the effect of seven neuroleptic drugs on a biomembrane model composed of DPPC, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were used to monitor the gel-fluid phase transition of the lipid bilayer at three pH values and also as a function of drug concentration. The implementation of a new methodology to mix lipids homogeneously allowed us to assemble bilayers completely free of organic solvents. The seven neuroleptics were: trifluoperazine, haloperidol decanoate, clozapine, quetiapine, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and amisulpride. The DSC results show that the insertion of the drug into the bilayer produces a fluidization and a disordering of the bilayer. The bilayer perturbation is qualitatively the same for all the studied drugs, but quantitatively different. The driving force for the neuroleptic drug to place itself in the lipid bilayer is entropic in nature, signaling to the importance of the size and geometry of the drugs. The drug protonated species produce stronger effects than their non-protonated forms. At high concentrations two of the neuroleptics revert the fluidization effect and another completely abolishes the gel-fluid transition. The DSC data and the associated discussion contribute to the understanding of the interactions between neuroleptic drugs and lipid membranes.

Abstract
The effects of thioridazine (TDZ) and chlorpromazine (CPZ) and bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA-NPs) on erythrocyte membranes have been investigated. Two kinds of hemolytic assays were used; hemolysis under hypotonic conditions and hemolysis in physiological conditions. Under hypotonic conditions for 50% hemolysis, both TDZ and CPZ have a biphasic effect on membranes; namely, stabilization at low concentrations and destabilization after reaching a critical concentration. In physiological conditions, there are other critical concentrations above which both drugs hemolyse the erythrocites. In each case, the critical concentrations of TDZ are lower than those of CPZ, which is consistent with the ratio of their partition coefficients. When BSA-NPs are added to the erythrocyte suspension simultaneously with the drugs, the critical concentrations increase for both drugs. The effect is due to the incorporation of a portion of drug substances into the BSA-nanoparticles, which consequently leads to the decrease of the active drug concentrations in the erythrocyte suspension medium. Similar values of the critical concentrations are found when the BSA-NPs are loaded with the drugs before their addition to the erythrocyte suspension in which case the events of the partition are: desorption of the drug from BSA-NPs, diffusion through the medium, and adsorption on erythrocyte membranes. This result suggests that the drugs are not influenced by the processes of adsorption and desorption onto and out of the BSA-NPs, and that the use of BSA-NPs as drug transporters would allow intravenous administration of higher doses of the drug without the risk of erythrocyte hemolysis.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine cytotoxic activity, hemolytic activity, and to evaluate the ability of the essential oil from Cinnamodendron dinisii to induce DNA fragmentation of human lymphocytes. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation. Cytotoxic activity was determined by the MTT method. Hemolytic activity was evaluated by spectrophotometric quantification of hemoglobin released by erythrocytes. Damage to lymphocyte DNA molecules was assessed by the Comet assay. The essential oil under study showed high cytotoxic activity on Vero cells (CC50 = 35.72 μg/mL) and induced hemolysis in both hematocrits, besides leading to the oxidation of hemoglobin released. The genotoxic activity of C. dinisii essential oil was also observed, which induced concentration-dependent DNA fragmentation of human lymphocytes and, at 50 μL/mL, it was more active than the positive control. The essential oil from C. dinisii has a toxic action, suggesting a special attention in the application of this oil to health-promoting activities; however, among its components, there are molecules with potential for future application in anticancer therapies.

Abstract
The effect of the nonionic detergents Brij-98 and Brij-58 over human erythrocytes was studied through quantitative hemolysis and in Langmuir films. Hemolytic tests revealed that Brijs are stronger membrane solubilizers than Triton X-100 (TX-100), with effective detergent/lipid ratios of 0.18 and 0.37 for Brij-98 and Brij-58, respectively. Experiments with Langmuir films provided significant information on the kinetics and thermodynamics of detergent-membrane interaction. The adsorption (ka) and desorption (kd) rate constants of Brijs were lower than those of TX-100. In the case of ka, that is probably due to their larger hydrophilic head (with twice (20) the oxyethylene units of TX-100). As for the thermodynamic binding constant, the linear and longer hydrophobic acyl chains of Brijs favor their stabilization in-between the lipids, through London van der Waals forces. Consequently, Kb,m values of Brij-98 (12,500 M-1) and Brij-58 (19,300 M-1) resulted higher than TX-100 (7500 M-1), in agreement with results from the hemolytic tests. Furthermore, Brij-58 binds with higher affinity than Brij-98 to bilayers and monolayers, despite its shorter (palmitic) hydrocarbon chain, showing that unsaturation restrains the detergent insertion into these environments. Our results provide significant information about the mechanism of interaction between Brijs and membranes, supporting their distinct solubilization effect.

Abstract
The various stages of the interaction between the detergent Triton X-100 (TTX-100) and membranes of whole red blood cells (RBC) were investigated in a broad range of detergent concentrations. The interaction was monitored by RBC hemolysis-assessed by release of intracellular hemoglobin (Hb) and inorganic phosphate-and by analysis of EPR spectra of a fatty acid spin probe intercalated in whole RBC suspensions, as well as pellets and supernatants obtained upon centrifugation of detergent-treated cells. Hemolysis finished at ca. 0.9mM TTX-100. Spectral analysis and calculation of order parameters (S) indicated that a complex sequence of events takes place, and allowed the characterization of various structures formed in the different stages of detergent-membrane interaction. Upon reaching the end of cell lysis, essentially no pellet was detected, the remaining EPR signal being found almost entirely in the supernatants. Calculated order parameters revealed that whole RBC suspensions, pellets, and supernatants possessed a similar degree of molecular packing, which decreased to a small extent up to 2.5mM detergent. Between 3.2 and 10mM TTX-100, a steep decrease in S was observed for both whole RBC suspensions and supernatants. Above 10mM detergent, S decreased in a less pronounced manner and the EPR spectra approached that of pure TTX-100 micelles. The data were interpreted in terms of the following events: at the lower detergent concentrations, an increase in membrane permeability occurs; the end of hemolysis coincides with the lack of pellet upon centrifugation. Up to 2.5mM TTX-100 the supernatants consist of a (very likely) heterogeneous population of membrane fragments with molecular packing similar to that of whole cells. As the detergent concentration increases, mixed micelles are formed containing lipid and/or protein, approaching the packing found in pure TTX-100 micelles. This analysis is in agreement with the models proposed by Lasch (Biochim. Biophys Acta 1241 (1995) 269-292) and by Le Maire and coworkers (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1508 (2000) 86-111).

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the interactions between chlorpromazine (CPZ), a neuroleptic drug used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), a zwitterionic phospholipid, in Langmuir monolayers. The results from simulations carried out at different monolayer surface densities were able to capture important features of the CPZ-lipid interaction. We find that neutral (unprotonated) CPZ is preferentially located in the lipid tail region of the phospholipids, in little contact with the aqueous phase, and that the orientation of its rigid ring structure and tail conformation vary with lipid surface density. CPZ is found to promote ordering of the lipid tails for all surface densities because of a reduction in the effective surface area per lipid upon addition of the drug. Similar effects have been observed in previous studies of cholesterol in DPPC monolayers, in which lipid tails were seen to order around the solute. This feature, however, is quite distinct from what we observe for the most dense monolayer considered here (area per lipid of 50 A(2)), for which we find that CPZ promotes a local distortion of the lipid tails in its immediate vicinity and a concomitant ordering of lipid tails located further away from the solute. This view is further supported by the results obtained for an approximated nonlinear vibrational sum frequency generation susceptibility, which showed greater tail disorder close to CPZ.

Abstract
In this work the interaction of Hydroxyzine, Promethazine and Thioridazine with Langmuir films of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (dpPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid (dpPA), is studied. Temporal variations in lateral surface pressure (pi) were measured at different initial pi (pi(i)), subphase pH and drug-concentration. Drugs with the smallest (PRO) and largest (HYD) molecular size exhibited the lowest adsorption (k(a)) and the highest desorption (k(d)) rate constant values, respectively. The affinity binding constants (K(b)) obtained in monolayers followed the same profile (K(b,PRO) < K(b,HYD) < K(b,THI)) of the egg-PC/water partition coefficients (P) determined in bilayers. The drug concentration required to reach the half-maximal Deltapi at pi(i) = 14 mN/m (K(0.5)), was very sensitive to pH. The maximal increment in pi upon drug incorporation into the monolayer (deltapi(max)) will depend on the phospholipid collapse pressure (pi(c)), the monolayers's compressibility and drug's size, shape and charge. The higher pi(c) of dpPC lead to higher pi(cut-off) values (maximal pi allowing drug penetration), if compared with dpPA. In dpPC and dpPA pi(cut-off) decreased as a function of the molecular size of the uncharged drugs. In dpPA, protonated drugs became electrostatically trapped at the monolayer surface hence drug penetration, monolayer deformation and pi increase were impaired and the correlation between pi(cut-off) and drug molecular size was lost.

Abstract
The interaction of local anesthetics (LA) with biological and phospholipid bilayers was investigated regarding the contribution of their structure and physicochemical properties to membrane partition and to erythrocyte solubilization. We measured the partition into phospholipid vesicles-at pH 5.0 and 10.5-and the biphasic hemolytic effect on rat erythrocytes of: benzocaine, chloroprocaine, procaine, tetracaine, bupivacaine, mepivacaine, lidocaine, prilocaine, and dibucaine. At pH 7.4, the binding of uncharged and charged LA to the membranes was considered, since it results in an ionization constant (pK(app)) different from that observed for the anesthetic in the aqueous phase (pK(w)). Even though it occurred at a pH at which there is a predominance of the charged species, hemolysis was greatly influenced by the uncharged species, revealing that the disrupting effect of LA on these membranes is mainly a consequence of hydrophobic interactions. The correlation between the hemolytic activity and the LA potency shows that hemolytic experiments could be used for the prediction of activity in the development of new LA molecules.

Abstract
Substances able to modulate multidrug resistance (MDR), including antipsychotic phenothiazine derivatives, are mainly cationic amphiphiles. The molecular mechanism of their action can involve interactions with transporter proteins as well as with membrane lipids. The interactions between anionic phospholipids and MDR modulators can be crucial for their action. In present work we study interactions of 2-trifluoromethyl-10-(4-[methanesulfonylamid]buthyl)-phenothiazine (FPhMS) with neutral (PC) and anionic lipids (PG and PS). Using microcalorimetry, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy we show that FPhMS interacts with all lipids studied and drug location in membrane depends on lipid type. The electrostatic attraction between drug and lipid headgroups presumably keeps phenothiazine derivative molecules closer to surface of negatively charged membranes with respect to neutral ones. FPhMS effects on bilayer properties are not proportional to phosphatidylserine content in lipid mixtures. Behavior of equimolar PC:PS mixtures is similar to pure PS bilayers, while 2:1 or 1:2 (mole:mole) PC:PS mixtures resemble pure PC ones.

Abstract
The dissociation constants (pKms) of the phenothiazine drugs promazine, chlorpromazine, and triflupromazine, incorporated in the phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayer of small unilamellar vesicles (SUV), were investigated by a 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) titration method employing their N-13CH3 (ionizable group) labelled derivatives. Use of the labelled drugs enabled direct observations of the ionization equilibrium of the N-dimethyl group. A second derivative spectrophotometric study proved that 95-98% of the phenothiazine species in the sample solutions (200 microM phenothiazine in the presence of 27 mM PC SUV) were incorporated into the PC bilayer, which simplified the calculation of pKm values by allowing that the phenothiazines in the aqueous phase could be neglected. The pKm values were calculated from the chemical shift dependence of the N-dimethyl 13C NMR signal on the pH value of sample solutions. The pKm values obtained were smaller than those measured in aqueous solutions by about one unit. The existence of cholesterol (30 mol%) in the PC bilayer showed little effect on the pKm values, suggesting that cholesterol in the bilayer does not largely affect the interfacial region where the N-dimethyl group of the incorporated phenothiazines is located. The results offered clear evidence for the pKm decrease and provided their precise values.

Abstract
The phenothiazine multidrug resistance (MDR) modulators are chemically diversified but share the common feature to be hydrophobic cationic molecules. Molecular mechanisms of their action may involve interactions with either P-glycoprotein or membrane lipid matrix. In the present work we study the anti-MDR and biophysical membrane effects of new phenothiazine derivatives differing in the type of group substituting phenothiazine ring at position 2 (H-, Cl-, CF(3)-) and in the side chain group (NHCO(2)CH(3) or NHSO(2)CH(3)). Within each phenothiazine subset we found that anti-MDR activity (determined by P-glycoprotein inhibition assessed by flow cytometry) correlates with the theoretically calculated hydrophobicity value (logP) and experimental parameters (determined by calorimetry and fluorescence spectroscopy) of lipid bilayers. It is concluded that the biological and biophysical activity of phenothiazine derivatives depends more on the type of ring substitution than on the nature of the side chain group.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the interaction of the non-ionic surfactants polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers (C(n)E(m)) with erythrocyte membranes. For this purpose we have performed hemolytic assays under isosmotic conditions with five surfactants in the 8 polyoxyethylene ether series. By applying to the hemolytic curves a quantitative treatment developed for the study of surface-active compounds on biomembranes, we could calculate the surfactant/lipid molar ratios for the onset of hemolysis (R(e)(sat)) and for complete hemolysis (R(e)(sol)). This approach also allowed the calculation of the binding constants for each surfactant to the erythrocyte membrane. Results in the C(n)E(m) series were compared to those obtained for Triton X-100, a well-known non-ionic surfactant with values of cmc and HLB in the range of the alkyl ethers studied. Inside the series the lytic effect increased with the more hydrophobic homologues (C(10)E(8)<C(12)E(8)<C(14)E(8)<C(16)E(8)<C(18)E(8)), with Re values between 3:1 and 0.03:1. The effect of C(10)E(8) and C(12)E(8) was found to be in the range of that caused by Triton X-100, proving that C(n)E(m) surfactants are strongly hemolytic.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of the phenothiazine derivative thioridazine on mechanisms of mitochondria potentially implicated in apoptosis, such as those involving reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytochrome c release, as well as the involvement of drug interaction with mitochondrial membrane in these effects. Within the 0 - 100 microM range thioridazine did not reduce the free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) nor did it chelate iron. However, at 10 microM thioridazine showed important antioxidant activity on mitochondria, characterized by inhibition of accumulation of mitochondria-generated O2*-, assayed as lucigenin-derived chemiluminescence, inhibition of Fe2+/citrate-mediated lipid peroxidation of the mitochondrial membrane (LPO), assayed as malondialdehyde generation, and inhibition of Ca2+/t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH)-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)/protein-thiol oxidation, assayed as mitochondrial swelling. Thioridazine respectively increased and decreased the fluorescence responses of mitochondria labelled with 1-aniline-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) and 1-(4-trimethylammonium phenyl)-6 phenyl 1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH). The inhibition of LPO and MPT onset correlated well with the inhibition of cytochrome c release from mitochondria. We conclude that thioridazine interacts with the inner membrane of mitochondria, more likely close to its surface, acquiring antioxidant activity toward processes with potential implications in apoptosis such as O2*- accumulation, as well as LPO, MPT and associated release of cytochrome c.

Abstract
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies are reported on the interaction of chlorpromazine (CPZ) with micelles of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Isotropic solutions of SDS (40 and 100 mM) at pH 4.0, 7.0, and 9.0 in the absence and presence of CPZ (2-25 mM) were investigated at the National Laboratory of Synchrotron Light (LNLS, Campinas, Brazil). The data were analyzed through the modeling of the micellar form factor and interference function. The results evidence a micellar shape transformation from prolate ellipsoid to cylinder accompanied by micellar growth and surface charge screening as the molar ratio CPZ : SDS increases in the complex. Small ellipsoids with axial ratio nu=1.5+/-0.1 at 40 mM SDS grow and reassemble into cylinder-like aggregates upon 5 mM drug incorporation (1 CPZ : 8 SDS monomers) with a decrease of the micelle surface charge. At 10 mM CPZ : 40 mM SDS cylindrical micelles are totally screened with an axial ratio nu approximately 2.5. The data also indicate the presence of small prolate ellipsoids (nu=1.7+/-0.1) in solutions of 100 mM SDS (no drug) and micellar growth (nu approximately 2.0 and 4.0) when 10 and 25 mM CPZ are added to the system. In the latter case, the aggregate is also better represented by a cylinder-like form. Therefore, our results demonstrate that the axial ratio and shape evolution of the surfactant : phenothiazine complex are both SDS concentration and drug : SDS molar ratio dependent. The drug location close to the SDS polar headgroup region without disrupting in a significant way both the paraffinic hydrophobic core and the polar shell thickness is inferred. SAXS data made it possible to obtain the shapes and dimensions of CPZ/SDS aggregates.

Abstract
The interaction of trifluoperazine with the zwitterionic lipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and with anionic dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol was studied by means of microcalorimetry and fluorescence spectroscopy. Intercalation of drug molecules into the lipid bilayers was confirmed by the observed differential scanning calorimetry peak broadening and the decrease in chain-melting temperatures. For trifluoperazine:lipid mole ratios higher than 0.4 and 0.6 (for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, respectively) the deconvolution of transition profiles into two Gaussian components was possible, which suggests phase separation in the studied mixtures. Deconvolution of the thermograms was not possible for any of the drug:dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol mole ratios studied. To confirm the existence of phase separation in trifluoperazine-phosphatidylcholine mixtures fluorescence spectroscopy experiments were performed using Laurdan as a probe. From the generalised polarisation versus excitation wavelength dependences, recorded at different temperatures, we conclude that a phase separation occurs in the gel state of the studied trifluoperazine-phosphatidylcholine mixtures. We attribute the existence of domains in the bilayer to the dissimilar interactions of two protonation forms of trifluoperazine with phosphatidylcholine molecules. Structural defects present at domain boundaries could be related to the trifluoperazine induced increase of membrane permeability and fluidity. This may partially explain the mechanism of multidrug resistance modulation by trifluoperazine.

Abstract
Many pharmacologically active compounds are of amphiphilic (or hydrophobic) nature. As a result, they tend to self-associate and to interact with biological membranes. This review focuses on the self-aggregation properties of drugs, as well as on their interaction with membranes. It is seen that drug-membrane interactions are analogous to the interactions between membranes and classical detergents. Phenomena such as shape changes, vesiculation, membrane disruption, and solubilization have been observed. At the molecular level, these events seem to be modulated by lipid flip-flop and formation of non-bilayer phases. The modulation of physicochemical properties of drugs by self-association and membrane binding is discussed. Pathological consequences of drug-membrane interaction are described. The mechanisms of drug solubilization by surfactants are reviewed from the physicochemical point of view and in relation to drug carrying and absorption by the organism.

Abstract
We measured the absorption properties, water solubility and partition coefficients (P) between n-octanol, egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) liposomes and erythrocyte ghosts/water for benzocaine (BZC), an ester-type always uncharged local anesthetic. The interaction of BZC with EPC liposomes was followed using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, with spin labels at different positions in the acyl chain (5, 7, 12, 16-doxylstearic acid methyl ester). Changes in lipid organization upon BZC addition allowed the determination of P values, without phase separation. The effect of BZC in decreasing membrane organization (maximum of 11.6% at approx. 0.8:1 BZC:EPC) was compared to those caused by the local anesthetics tetracaine and lidocaine. Hemolytic tests revealed a biphasic (protective/inductive) concentration-dependent hemolytic effect for BZC upon rat erythrocytes, with an effective BZC:lipid molar ratio in the membrane for protection (RePROT), onset of hemolysis (ReSAT) and 100% membrane solubilization (ReSOL) of 1.0:1, 1.1:1 and 1.3:1, respectively. The results presented here reinforce the importance of considering hydrophobic interactions in the interpretation of the effects of anesthetics on membranes.

Abstract
Trifluoperazine (TFP) is a potent antipsychotic agent, dibucaine (DBC) is a local anaesthetic and praziquantel (PZQ) is a highly effective agent against schistosomiasis. The present work was conducted to (i) investigate the cytotoxic effects of TFP, DBC and PZQ on human erythrocyte membranes; and (ii) compare the alterations induced by the cationic drugs (TFP and DBC) with those induced by the uncharged compound (PZQ), in an attempt to have a better insight on the pathways of each drug-membrane interaction. The erythrocyte morphological alterations induced by sublytic concentrations of TFP, DBC and PZQ were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and expressed quantitatively by the morphological index. Haemolysis and release of membrane lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol) produced by selected concentrations of TFP, DBC and PZQ, were compared with those resulting from the corresponding triple concentrations of each drug. Our results showed that the uncharged molecule of PZQ induces the same morphological alterations (stomatocytosis) as the cationic drugs TFP and DBC. Haemolysis was shown to vary with the drug used and to be concentration-dependent, with values approximately 10-fold more elevated for TFP and DBC than for PZQ, which revealed a maximum of 6% haemolysis for the highest concentration tested. Different concentration-response curves were obtained for lipid elution, although the profiles of cholesterol and phospholipids released were similar for all drugs. Nevertheless, at a fixed rate of 50% haemolysis, TFP induced a approximately 2-fold increment in the elution of cholesterol when compared with that produced by DBC (P<0. 05). The different effects induced by TFP, DBC and PZQ on erythrocyte morphology, haemolysis and lipid exfoliation are related to the physical and chemical characteristics of each compound. These results suggest that distinct cell membrane interaction pathways lead to drug-specific mechanisms of cytotoxicity.

Abstract
This work elucidates differences in the hemolytic pathway developed by the antipsychotic trifluoperazine (TFP), the local anesthetic dibucaine (DBC) and the antihelminthic praziquantel (PZQ). Their partition coefficients (P) were measured at pH 7.4 between n-octanol, microsomes, liposomes, erythrocyte ghosts and n-octanol/water. The effective drug:lipid molar ratios for the onset of membrane solubilization (ReSAT) and complete hemolysis (ReSOL) were calculated from the experimental P values and compared with a classical surface-active compound treatment Lichtenberg, D. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 821 (1985) 470-478[. The contribution of charged/uncharged forms of TFP and DBC for the hemolytic activity was also analyzed. In all cases the hemolytic phenomena could be related to the monomeric drug insertion into the membrane. Only for TFP at isosmotic condition lysis occurs at concentrations beyond the CMC of the drug, indicating that micellization facilitates TFP hemolytic effect, while DBC and PZQ reach a real membrane saturation at their monomeric form.
