Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Unravelling the structural diversity of cellular membranes is a paramount challenge in life sciences. In particular, lipid composition affects the membrane collective behaviour, and its interactions with other biological molecules. EXPERIMENTS Here, the relationship between membrane composition and resultant structural features was investigated by surface pressure-area isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy and neutron reflectometry on in vitro membrane models of the mammalian plasma and endoplasmic-reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membranes in the form of Langmuir monolayers. Natural extracted yeast lipids were used because, unlike synthetic lipids, the acyl chain saturation pattern of yeast and mammalian lipids are similar. FINDINGS The structure of the model membranes, orthogonal to the plane of the membrane, as well as their lateral packing, were found to depend strongly on their specific composition, with cholesterol having a major influence on the in-plane morphology, yielding a coexistence of liquid-order and liquid-disorder phases.

Abstract
Tetrazine (Tz) is an emerging bioorthogonal ligand that is expected to have applications (e.g., bioimaging) in chemistry and chemical biology. In this review, we highlight the interactions of reduced tetrazine (rTz) derivatives insoluble in aqueous media with biological membrane constituents or their related lipids, such as dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylglycerol, palmitoyl-sphingomyelin, and cholesterol in the Langmuir monolayer state at the air-water interface. The two-component interaction was thermodynamically elucidated by measuring the surface pressure (π) and molecular area (A) isotherms. The monolayer miscibility between the two components was analyzed using the excess Gibbs energy of mixing and two-dimensional phase diagram. The phase behavior of the binary monolayers was studied using the Brewster angle, fluorescence, and atomic force microscopy. This study discusses the affinities of the rTz moieties for the hydrophilic groups of the lipids used.

Abstract
Vitamin E was one of the last fat-soluble vitamins to be discovered. We provide here an historical review of the discovery and the increasingly more detailed understanding of the role of α-tocopherol both as an antioxidant and as a structural component of phospholipid bilayer membranes. Despite the detailed descriptions now available of the orientation, location, and dynamics of α-tocopherol in lipid bilayers, there are still gaps in our knowledge of the effect of α-tocopherol and its potential receptors than control gene transcription.

Abstract
Lipid rafts consisting mainly of sphingomyelin and cholesterol (Ch) on biomembrane surfaces are deeply related to cellular processes such as protein trafficking and signal transduction. During the processes, the raft microdomains affect the fluidty of biological membranes, which is controlled to large extents by Ch. In this paper, we have investigated the interaction between Ch and a semiflurinated alcohol (F6H9OH) from the aspect of a fluidty control using surface chemistry. The two-component Langmuir monolayer at the air-water interface was characterized by the surface pressure (π)-molecular area (A) and surface potential (ΔV)-A isotherms. The compressibility modulus and excess Gibbs free energy of mixing were calculated from the π-A isotherms. And also the two-dimensional phase diagram was constructed on the basis of phase transition pressures and monolayer collapse pressures. Furthermore, the phase behavior of binary monolayers was visualized with fluorescence microscopy (in situ) and atomic force microscopy (ex situ). The result here indicates a possibility of fluidity control of Ch-related membranes by arranging the fluorination degree of the constituent lipids.

Abstract
This paper deals with simple, inexpensive and ‘green’ methods of production for graphene in colloidal dispersion. Herein, we report on such a method by preparing aqueous graphene dispersions via ultrasonic exfoliation in the presence of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC). The product predominantly consists of few-layer graphene flakes coated by DOPC with a lateral size of a few tens to hundreds of nm, as confirmed by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The novelty of this method lies in its dependence on a typical soft matter property: the fluidity of the hydrophobic chains. Stiffer phospholipids such as 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC, which possesses two palmitoyl chains) or 2-oleoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC, one palmitoyl, one oleyl chain) are ineffective at dispersing graphene; however, in the presence of cholesterol these phospholipids also become effective mediators. The phospholipid coating renders the flakes compatible with biological environments. A simple, inexpensive and ‘green’ method of production for graphene in colloidal dispersion.![]()

Abstract
It is currently not possible to directly measure the lateral pressure of a biomembrane. Mechanoresponsive fluorescent probes are an elegant solution to this problem but it requires first the establishment of a direct correlation between the membrane surface pressure and the induced color change of the probe. Here, we analyze planarizable dithienothiophene push-pull probes in a monolayer at the air/water interface using fluorescence microscopy, grazing-incidence angle X-ray diffraction, and infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy. An increase of the lateral membrane pressure leads to a well-packed layer of the 'flipper' mechanophores and a clear change in hue above 18 mN/m. The fluorescent probes had no influence on the measured isotherm of the natural phospholipid DPPC suggesting that the flippers probe the lateral membrane pressure without physically changing it. This makes the flipper probes a truly useful addition to the membrane probe toolbox.

Abstract
Autoxidation of fatty acid monolayers on silica consisting of multiple components to simulate biomembranes has been studied by the rate of fatty acid disappearance and the products formed. When palmitic acid was incorporated into linoleic acid monolayers, the decrease in rate was proportional to the amounts of plamitic acid present. The protective effect of the saturated fatty acid diminished rapidly as the chain length of the saturated fatty acid decreased below C12. With acids of medium chain length, C12 was more effective than C16. In pure linoleic acid monolayers, when the surface coverage was reduced to only 5% of the available adsorption sites, and in the case of palmitic acid-linoleic acid monolayers, the rate dropped drastically and the major identified product formed was hydroxyepoxyoctadecenoic acid. On the contrary, the major product formed in the case of saturated monolayers of pure linoleic acid was a mixture of unsubstituted epoxy acids. The inclusion of cholesterol in linoleic acid monolayers increased the rate of disappearance of linoleic acid slightly, whereas cholesteryl acetate decreased the rate. The protective effect exerted by cholesteryl acetate appeared to be similar to that of palmitic acid.

Abstract
Tetrazine (Tz) is expected to be used for bioimaging and as an analytical reagent. It is known to react very fast with trans-cyclooctene under water in organic chemistry. Here, to understand the interaction between Tz and biomembrane constituents, we first investigated the interfacial behavior of a newly synthesized Tz derivative comprising a C18-saturated hydrocarbon chain (rTz-C18) using a Langmuir monolayer spread at the air-water interface. Surface pressure (π)-molecular area (A) and surface potential (ΔV)-A isotherms were measured for monolayers of rTz-C18 and biomembrane constituents such as dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE), palmitoyl sphingomyelin (PSM), and cholesterol (Ch). The lateral interaction between rTz-C18 and the lipids was thermodynamically elucidated from the excess Gibbs free energy of mixing and two-dimensional phase diagram. The binary monolayers except for the Ch system indicated high miscibility or affinity. In particular, rTz-C18 was found to interact more strongly with DPPE, which is a major constituent of the inner surface of cell membranes. The phase behavior and morphology upon monolayer compression were investigated by using Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), fluorescence microscopy (FM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The BAM and FM images of the DPPC/rTz-C18, DPPG/rTz-C18, and PSM/rTz-C18 systems exhibited a coexistence state of two different liquid-condensed domains derived mainly from monolayers of phospholipids and phospholipids-rTz-C18. From these morphological observations, it is worthy to note that rTz-C18 is possible to interact with a limited amount of the lipids except for DPPE.

Abstract
The artificial phospholipid Pad-PC-Pad was analyzed in 2D (monolayers at the air/water interface) and 3D (aqueous lipid dispersions) systems. In the gel phase, the two leaflets of a Pad-PC-Pad bilayer interdigitate completely, and the hydrophobic bilayer region has a thickness comparable to the length of a single phospholipid acyl chain. This leads to a stiff membrane with no spontaneous curvature. Forced into a vesicular structure, Pad-PC-Pad has faceted geometry, and in its extreme form, tetrahedral vesicles were found as predicted a decade ago. Above the main transition temperature, a noninterdigitated Lα phase with fluid chains has been observed. The addition of cholesterol leads to a slight decrease of the main transition temperature and a gradual decrease in the transition enthalpy until the transition vanishes at 40 mol % cholesterol in the mixture. Additionally, cholesterol pulls the chains apart, and a noninterdigitated gel phase is observed. In monolayers, cholesterol has an ordering effect on liquid-expanded phases and disorders condensed phases. The wavenumbers of the methylene stretching vibration indicate the formation of a liquid-ordered phase in mixtures with 40 mol % cholesterol.

Abstract
The public health consequences that are associated with the low level exposure of various human populations to Cd(2+) and Hg(2+) are incompletely understood. In order to assess if interactions between these inorganic pollutants and erythrocyte biomembranes may contribute to their chronic toxicity, we have used a Langmuir trough to probe the effect of HgCl2 and CdCl2 on the packing and elasticity properties of biomimetic lipid monolayers using different lipid mixtures. These lipid films were deposited at room temperature on a biologically relevant subphase (1mM phosphate, 100mM NaCl at pH 7.4) in the absence and presence of 100μM HgCl2, CdCl2 and 1:1 mixtures thereof. The interactions of heavy metals with the lipids were monitored as changes in the surface pressure (π)-area (A) isotherms. In addition, metal induced changes to the elastic properties of the model systems were analyzed by area and compressibility data of phosphatidylcholine (PC) systems containing 0, 15, 30, 45 and 100% phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS). These mixtures revealed changes in lateral lipid packing as indicated by area expansion as well as enhanced film rigidity. The results demonstrate that both heavy metals affected the various lipid matrices, but metal mixtures showed the strongest impact. Based on these data, the adverse interaction of Hg(2+) and Cd(2+) with lipid bilayer membranes is identified as a feasible mechanism by which these toxic metals exert toxicity in mammalian cells. Interestingly, these metal interactions were found to depend on the lipid composition.

[PMID: 23333324 PMCID: PMC7089610 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2013.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2012] [Revised: 01/08/2013] [Accepted: 01/09/2013] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
An interaction of glycyrrhizin (GC) with a lipid raft biomembrane model that consisted of N-palmitoyl-d-erythro-sphingosylphosphorylcholine (PSM), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), and cholesterol (CHOL) was systematically studied using the Langmuir monolayer technique. To construct the lipid raft model, the surface pressure (π)–molecular area (A) and surface potential (ΔV)–A isotherms for three-component (PSM/DOPC/CHOL) systems on 0.02 M Tris buffer with 0.13 M NaCl (pH 7.4) were primarily measured by changing their compositions. Thermodynamic and interaction parameters for binary PSM/DOPC and PSM/CHOL systems revealed that PSM interacts more strongly with CHOL than with DOPC. In addition, a morphological analysis performed with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and fluorescence microscopy (FM) revealed an optimal ratio of PSM/DOPC/CHOL (1/1/1, by mole) as a model of lipid rafts. Second, the interaction of GC with the ternary PSM/DOPC/CHOL monolayers was investigated on Tris buffer solutions containing different GC concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 μM). In BAM and FM images, microdomains were found to become smaller by increasing the GC concentration in the subphase, suggesting that GC regulates the size of raft domains, which provide dynamic scaffolding for numerous cellular processes. More interestingly, the distinctive GC striped regions were formed at the interface at 50 μM, which shows that GC divides the ternary monolayer into pieces. This phenomenon was observed only in the presence of CHOL in the monolayer. These results suggest that CHOL plays an essential role in the interaction with GC, which results in one of the major activities associated with saponins' membrane disruption.

Abstract
In pure water, zwitterionic lipids form lamellar phases with an equilibrium water gap on the order of 2 to 3 nm as a result of the dominating van der Waals attraction between dipolar bilayers. Monovalent ions can swell those neutral lamellae by a small amount. Divalent ions can adsorb onto dipolar membranes and charge them. Using solution X-ray scattering, we studied how the structure of ions and zwitterionic lipids regulates the charge of dipolar membranes. We found that unlike monovalent ions that weakly interact with all of the examined dipolar membranes, divalent and trivalent ions adsorb onto membranes containing lipids with saturated tails, with an association constant on the order of ∼10 M(-1). One double bond in the lipid tail is sufficient to prevent divalent ion adsorption. We suggest that this behavior is due to the relatively loose packing of lipids with unsaturated tails that increases the area per lipid headgroup, enabling their free rotation. Divalent ion adsorption links two lipids and limits their free rotation. The ion-dipole interaction gained by the adsorption of the ions onto unsaturated membranes is insufficient to compensate for the loss of headgroup free-rotational entropy. The ion-dipole interaction is stronger for cations with a higher valence. Nevertheless, polyamines behave as monovalent ions near dipolar interfaces in the sense that they interact weakly with the membrane surface, whereas in the bulk their behavior is similar to that of multivalent cations. Advanced data analysis and comparison with theory provide insight into the structure and interactions between ion-induced regulated charged interfaces. This study models biologically relevant interactions between cell membranes and various ions and the manner in which the lipid structure governs those interactions. The ability to monitor these interactions creates a tool for probing systems that are more complex and forms the basis for controlling the interactions between dipolar membranes and charged proteins or biopolymers for encapsulation and delivery applications.

Miscibility behavior of two-component monolayers at the air-water interface: perfluorocarboxylic acids and DMPE. J Colloid Interface Sci 2009; 337:191-200.

Abstract
Surface pressure (pi)-molecular area (A) and surface potential (DeltaV)-A isotherms have been measured for two-component monolayers of four different perfluorocarboxylic acids [FCn; perfluorododecanoic acid (FC12), perfluorotetradecanoic acid (FC14), perfluorohexadecanoic acid (FC16), and perfluorooctadecanoic acid (FC18)] and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) on 0.15M NaCl (pH 2) at 298.2K. The present study is focused on the miscibility and the interfacial behavior for the binary DMPE/FCn monolayers upon compression. From the isotherms, the miscibility has been elucidated in terms of the additivity rule, the interaction parameter, and the interaction energy. The interaction parameter (or energy) is compared with that for the previous dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/FCn systems [Colloids Surf. B 41 (2005) 285-298] to understand the effect of phospholipids' polar headgroup on the binary miscibility. Furthermore, the phase behavior of the DMPE/FCn systems has been morphologically examined using fluorescence microscopy (FM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). These images reveal the different interaction modes among the four systems; DMPE can be miscible with FC12 and FC14 and immiscible with FC16 and FC18 in the monolayer state. These systematic examinations indicate that the miscibility of perfluorocarboxylic acids and phospholipids depends on combination of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon chain lengths and on phospholipids' polar headgroups within a monolayer.

Abstract
Surface properties (Langmuir monolayer) of two different cerebrosides which are extracted from the sea cucumber (Bohadschia argus) were investigated. A main difference in chemical structure of cerebroside between BAC-2a and BAC-4 is their head groups (glucose and galactose, respectively). Furthermore, miscibility and interaction between dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cerebrosides (BAC-2a and BAC-4) in the monolayer have been systematically examined. The surface pressure (pi)-area (A), the surface potential (Delta V)-A, and the dipole moment (mu(perpendicular))-A isotherms for monolayers of DPPC, cerebrosides, and their binary combinations have been measured using the Wilhelmy method and the ionizing electrode method. BAC-4 forms a stable liquid-expanded (LE) monolayer, whereas BAC-2a has a first-order phase transition from the LE phase to the liquid-condensed (LC) state on 0.15 M NaCl at 298.2 K. The fundamental properties for each cerebroside monolayer were elucidated in terms of the surface dipole moment based on the three-layer model [R.J. Demchak, T. Fort Jr., J. Colloid Interface Sci. 46 (1974) 191-202] for both cerebrosides and the apparent molar quantity change (Delta s(gamma), Delta h(gamma), and Delta u(gamma)) for BAC-2a. In addition, their miscibility with DPPC was examined by the variation of the molecular areas and the surface potentials as a function of cerebroside mole fractions, the additivity rule. The miscibility was also confirmed by constructing the two-dimensional phase diagrams. The phase diagrams for the both binary systems were of negative azeotropic type. That is, the two-component DPPC/BAC-2a and DPPC/BAC-4 monolayers are miscible. Furthermore, the Joos equation for the analysis of the collapse pressure of binary monolayers allowed calculation of the interaction parameter and the interaction energy between the DPPC and cerebroside monolayers. The miscibility in the monolayer state was also confirmed by the morphological observation with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), fluorescence microscopy (FM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Abstract
The feasibility of using liposomes as a potential oral delivery system for the systemic delivery of other peptides and protein-based pharmaceuticals has been studied. Serratiopeptidase, a proteolytic enzyme, was used as a model drug. Liposomes were prepared by a thin film hydration method using various lipids, namely, soya lecithin, DMPC and DMPE. It was further investigated whether the liposomal formulations of serratiopeptidase altered the permeability/absorption of the drug using PAMPA, a non-cell-based assay, and Caco-2 assay, a cell monolayer system, mimicking in vivo GI epithelium cells. The entrapment efficiency of the formulations was found to be 62%, 84% and 86% for the liposomes of soya lecithin, DMPC and DMPE respectively. The effectiveness of the liposomal formulations against the pure drug in terms of permeability/absorption was compared. The effective permeability (log Pe) values from PAMPA study varied from -7.47 to -6.5 cm/s whereas for the serratiopeptidase it was -7.72 cm/s. The apparent permeability values calculated from Caco-2 assay varied from 1.25 x 10(-6) to 1.61 x 10(-6) cm/s whereas for the serratiopeptidase it was 1.25 x 10(-6) cm/s. The flux was found to be 3.88-4.96 microg/cm (2)/h for the formulations when compared to 3.208 microg/cm(2)/h for serratiopeptidase. The results obtained indicated that in comparison with the pure drug, incorporation of drug into liposomes improved the permeability. Thus it could be concluded that the liposomal formulations would improve the oral absorption of serratiopeptidase.

Abstract
Langmuir film behavior of bovine lipid extract surfactant (BLES), mixed with cholesterol (CHOL) and cholesterol palmitate (CHOLP), has been studied by surface pressure (pi)-area (A) measurements. Associative interactions, observed for both systems, were less favored at lower BLES content. The presence of unsaturated phospholipids and surfactant proteins in BLES favored the association. Miscibility of BLES was better with CHOLP than with CHOL at all compositions, indicating more compact packing of the BLES-CHOLP than of the BLES-CHOL system. The most stable mixtures were found at 30-40 mol% CHOL and at low pi and at 20-25 mol% CHOLP but at higher pi. These results suggest that BLES-CHOL miscibility is better at low pi and low CHOL concentrations, while BLES-CHOLP miscibility is better at high pi and high CHOLP concentrations.

Abstract
The mechanisms of interactions between gramicidin A (gA) and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in monolayers formed at the air-water interface were studied by analyzing their mechanical, thermodynamical, and electrical properties evaluated from measurements of pressure-area isotherms and of Maxwell displacement currents (MDC). A contactless method of recording MDC enabled us to monitor changes in the charge state of the monolayer-constituting molecules and to find the relation between a phase state of the monolayer and structural transitions of gA. The peptide-lipid interactions were quantified in terms of the excess of Gibbs free energy, excess entropy, as well as the molecular dipole moments at various gA/DMPC molar ratios, at various temperatures (in the gel phase and also in the liquid-crystalline phase of DMPC molecule), and at various surface pressures. It was found that the strongest interactions between gA and DMPC took place at the gA/DMPC molar ratio at around 0.25. At this monolayer composition, the phospholipids, via their carbonyl moieties, dominantly interact with the single helical gA, which mostly stands upright on the surface and is anchored by its C-terminus to the water surface, and prevent the formation of the intertwined helical gA dimers. The optimum ratio was confirmed also by anomalous electrical behavior of electrical dipole moments derived from MDC measurements.

Abstract
Two-component Langmuir monolayers formed on 0.02 M Tris buffer solution (pH 7.4) with 0.13 M NaCl at 298.2K were investigated for two different fluorinated-hydrogenated hybrid amphiphiles (F6PH5PPhNa and F8PH5PPhNa or F6 and F8, respectively) with DPPC. Surface pressure (pi), surface potential (DeltaV) and dipole moment (mu( perpendicular)) as a function of molecular surface area (A) were measured by employing the Whilhelmy method and an ionizing electrode method. From the A- and DeltaV-X(F6) (or X(F8)) curves, partial molecular surface area (PMA) and apparent partial molecular surface potential (APSP) were determined as a function of surface mole fraction (X(Fn)) at discrete surface pressures. Then, the behavior of occupied surface areas and surface potentials of the respective components could be made clearer. Compressibility (C(s)), elasticity (C(s)(-1)), and excess Gibbs energy (DeltaG((ex))) as a function of X(F6) (or X(F8)) were estimated at definite pressures. These physico-chemical parameters were found to reflect the mechanical strength of monolayer films formed. The regular solution theory being applied to DeltaG((ex)), the activity coefficients (f) as well as the interaction parameter (I(p)) between DPPC and two hybrid amphiphiles in the binary monolayers were evaluated. I(p) values thus obtained indicated that F8 molecules interact more strongly with DPPC molecules than F6. Moreover, in order to better understand the morphological monolayer state, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films made from DPPC and fluorinated-hydrogenated hybrid amphiphiles were examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The miscibility of the two components in the monolayer state is evidenced by these thermodynamic quantities and AFM observations. Furthermore, AFM images demonstrated that F8 could more effectively disperse the ordered domains of DPPC than F6.

Abstract
Surface pressure-area (pi-A), surface potential-area (DeltaV-A), and dipole moment-area (mu( perpendicular)-A) isotherms were obtained for the Langmuir monolayer of two fluorinated-hydrogenated hybrid amphiphiles (sodium phenyl 1-[(4-perfluorohexyl)-phenyl]-1-hexylphosphate (F6PH5PPhNa) and (sodium phenyl 1-[(4-perfluorooctyl)-phenyl]-1-hexylphosphate (F8PH5PPhNa)), DPPC and their two-component systems at the air/water interface. Monolayers spread on 0.02 M Tris buffer solution (pH 7.4) with 0.13M NaCl at 298.2K were investigated by the Wilhelmy method, ionizing electrode method and fluorescence microscopy. Moreover, the miscibility of two components was examined by plotting the variation of the molecular area and the surface potential as a function of the molar fraction for the fluorinated-hydrogenated hybrid amphiphiles on the basis of the additivity rule. The miscibility of the monolayers was also examined by construction of two-dimensional phase diagrams. Furthermore, assuming the regular surface mixture, the Joos equation for analysis of the collapse pressure of two-component monolayers allowed calculation of the interaction parameter (xi) and the interaction energy (-Deltaepsilon) between the fluorinated-hydrogenated hybrid amphiphiles and DPPC. The observations by a fluorescence microscopy also supported our interpretation as for the miscibility in the monolayer state. Comparing the monolayer behavior between the two binary systems, no remarkable difference was found among various aspects. Among the two combinations, the mole fraction dependence in monolayer properties was commonly classified into two ranges: 0 <or= X <or= 0.3 and 0.3 < X <or = 1. Dependence of the chain length of fluorinated part was reflected for the molecular packing and surface potential.

Abstract
The role of biological membranes as a target in biological radiation damage is still unclear. Recently much attention has been paid to the dynamic behaviour of the cell membrane. Maxwell displacement current technique (MDC) provides new possibility of conformation study of the membrane models. Oxidative stress can impair macromolecules in the cell on a molecular level. MDC technique enables to study the changes in molecular orientations and/or conformations of cell membranes. The combination of different methods in structural biology can clarify membrane chemical and physical properties.

The surface pressure (pi)-area (A), the surface potential (DeltaV)-A and the dipole moment (mu( perpendicular))-A isotherms were obtained for six cerebrosides of LLC-2, LLC-2-1, LLC-2-8, LLC-2-10, LLC-2-12, and LLC-2-15, which were isolated from Linckia laevigata, and two-component monolayers of two different cerebrosides (LLC-2 and LLC-2-8) with phospholipid of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) on a subphase of 0.15 M sodium chloride solution as a function of cerebroside compositions in the two-component systems by employing the Wilhelmy method, the ionizing electrode method, and the fluorescence microscopy. The new finding was that LLC-2 showed a stable and liquid expanded type film. Four of them (LLC-2-8, -10, -12, and -15) had the phase transition from the liquid-expanded (LE) to the liquid-condensed (LC) states at 298.2 K. The apparent molar quantity changes (Deltas(gamma), Deltah(gamma), and Deltau(gamma)) on their phase transition on 0.15M at 298.2 K were calculated. The miscibility of cerebroside and phospholipid in the two-component monolayers was examined by plotting the variation of the molecular area and the surface potential as a function of the cerebroside molar fraction (X(cerebroside)), using the additivity rule. From the A-X(cerebroside) and DeltaV(m)-X(phospholipid) plots, a partial molecular surface area (PMA) and an apparent partial molecular surface potential (APSP) were determined at the discrete surface pressure. The PMA and APSP with the mole fraction were extensively discussed for the miscible systems. Judging from the two-dimensional phase diagrams, these were found to be one type, a positive azeotropic type; all the cerebrosides were miscible with DPPC. Furthermore, assuming a regular surface mixture, the Joos equation for the analysis of the collapse pressure of two-component monolayers allowed calculation of the interaction parameter (xi) and the interaction energy (-Deltavarepsilon) between the cerebrosides and DPPC. The miscibility of cerebroside and phospholipid components in the monolayer state was also supported by fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
The surface pressure (pi)- and the surface potential (DeltaV)-area (A) isotherms were obtained for two-component monolayers of four different perfluorocarboxylic acids (FCns; perfluorododecanoic acid: FC12, perfluorotetradecanoic acid: FC14, perfluorohexadecanoic acid: FC16, perfluorooctadecanoic acid: FC18) with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) on substrate solution of 0.15 M NaCl (pH 2.0) at 298.2 K as a function of compositions in the mixtures by employing the Wilhelmy method, the ionizing electrode method, the fluorescence microscopy, and the atomic force microscopy. The data for the two-component monolayers on these systems were analyzed in terms of the additivity rule. Assuming a regular surface mixture, the Joos equation which allows one to describe the collapse pressure of a two-component monolayer with miscible components was used to declare the miscibility of the monolayer state, and an interaction parameter and an interaction energy were calculated. The new finding was that FCns and DPPC are miscible or immiscible depending on chain length increment of fluorocarbon part. That is, FC12/DPPC monolayer was perfectly miscible, and FC14/DPPC, and FC16/DPPC (0 < or = X(FC16) < or = 0.3) monolayers were partially miscible. While FC16/DPPC (0.3 < X(FC16) < 1) and FC18/DPPC systems are immiscible in the monolayer state. Furthermore, the mean molecular area, the surface dipole moment, and the phase diagrams enabled us to estimate the molecular orientation of four different perfluorocarboxylic acids/DPPC in the two-component monolayer state. One type of phase diagrams was obtained and classified into the positive azeotropic type. The miscibility of FCns and DPPC in the monolayer was also supported by fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy. FC12/DPPC, FC14/DPPC and FC16/DPPC (0 < or = X(FC16) < or = 0.3) two-component monolayers on 0.15 M NaCl (pH 2) showed that FC12, FC14 and FC16 (0 < or = X(FC16) < or = 0.3) can dissolve or partially dissolve the ordered solid DPPC domains formed upon compression. This indicates that these fluorinated amphiphiles soften or harden the lipid depending on their chain length.

Abstract
Two-component Langmuir monolayers formed on a subphase of 0.5M sodium chloride solution were investigated for two different cerebrosides (LMC-1 and LMC-2) with steroids of cholesterol (Ch) and cholesteryl sodium sulfate (Ch-S); i.e. LMC-1/Ch, LMC-1/Ch-S, LMC-2/Ch, and LMC-2/Ch-S were examined in terms of surface pressure (pi), the surface potential (DeltaV) and the dipole moment (mu( perpendicular)) as a function of surface area (A) by employing the Langmuir method, the ionizing electrode method, and the fluorescence microscopy. Surface potentials (DeltaV) of steroids were analyzed using the three-layer model proposed by Demchak and Fort. The miscibility of cerebrosides and steroids in the insoluble monolayers was examined by plotting the variation of the molecular area and the surface potential as a function of the steroid molar fraction (X(steroid)) based upon the additivity rule. From the A-X(steroid) and DeltaV(m)-X(steroid) plots, partial molecular surface area (PMA) and apparent partial molecular surface potential (APSP) were determined at the different surface pressures. The PMA and APSP with the mole fraction were discussed for the miscible system. Judging from the two-dimensional phase diagrams, they can be classified into two types. The first is a completely immiscible type; the combination of cerebrosides with cholesterol. The second is a negative azeotropic type, where cerebrosides and cholesteryl sodium sulfate are completely miscible both in the expanded state and in the condensed state. In addition, a regular surface mixture (the Joos equation for the analysis of the collapse pressure of two-component monolayers) allowed calculation of the interaction parameter (xi) and the interaction energy (-Delta epsilon) between the cerebrosides and Ch-S. The miscibility of cerebroside and steroid components in the monolayer state was also supported by fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
The surface pressure (pi)-area (A), the surface potential (DeltaV)-A and the dipole moment (mu( perpendicular))-A isotherms were obtained for two-component monolayers of two different cerebrosides (LMC-1 and LMC-2) with phospholipids of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and with dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) on a subphase of 0.5 M sodium chloride solution as a function of phospholipid compositions by employing the Langmuir method, the ionizing electrode method, and the fluorescence microscopy. Surface potentials (DeltaV) of pure components were analyzed using the three-layer model proposed by Demchak and Fort. The contributions of the hydrophilic saccharide group and the head group to the vertical component of the dipole moment (mu( perpendicular)) were estimated. The miscibility of cerebroside and phospholipid in the two-component monolayers was examined by plotting the variation of the molecular area and the surface potential as a function of the phospholipid molar fraction (X(phospholipid)), using the additivity rule. From the A-X(phospholipid) and DeltaV(m)-X(phospholipid) plots, partial molecular surface area (PMA) and apparent partial molecular surface potential (APSP) were determined at the discrete surface pressure. The PMA and APSP with the mole fraction were extensively discussed for the miscible system. Judging from the two-dimensional phase diagrams, these can be classified into two types.

Abstract
Surface pressure-area, surface potential-area, and dipole moment-area isotherms were obtained for monolayers made from a partially fluorinated surfactant, (perfluorooctyl)undecyldimorpholinophosphate (F8H11DMP), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), and their combinations. Monolayers, spread on a 0.15 M NaCl subphase, were investigated at the air/water interface by the Wilhelmy method, ionizing electrode method, and fluorescence microscopy. Surface potentials were analyzed using the three-layer model proposed by Demchak and Fort. The contribution of the dimorpholinophosphate polar head group of F8H11DMP to the vertical component of the dipole moment was estimated to be 4.99 D. The linear variation of the phase transition pressure as a function of F8H11DMP molar fraction (X(F8H11DMP)) demonstrated that DPPC and F8H11DMP are miscible in the monolayer. This result was confirmed by deviations from the additivity rule observed when plotting the molecular areas and the surface potentials as a function of X(F8H11DMP) over the whole range of surface pressures investigated. Assuming a regular surface mixture, the Joos equation, which was used for the analysis of the collapse pressure of mixed monolayers, allowed calculation of the interaction parameter (xi=-1.3) and the energy of interaction (Delta epsilon =537 Jmol(-1)) between DPPC and F8H11DMP. The miscibility of DPPC and F8H11DMP within the monolayer was also supported by fluorescence microscopy. Examination of the observed flower-like patterns showed that F8H11DMP favors dissolution of the ordered LC phase domains of DPPC, a feature that may be key to the use of phospholipid preparations as lung surfactants.

Abstract
Titration of a series of C(18) fatty acids yields pK(a) values that decrease with an increasing degree of unsaturation in the fatty acid chain. The pK(a) values of stearic, elaidic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were studied and compared to values of area per molecule in a spread monolayer of these acids. The decrease in pK(a) was found to relate to melting point temperature and area per molecule in the spread fatty acid monolayer. The pK(a) value was determined by first dissolving the fatty acid in a high pH solution (pH>10) and subsequently titrating the solution with HCl to obtain the characteristic S-shaped curves used to calculate the pK(a) values. The pK(a) values of stearic, elaidic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were found to be 10.15, 9.95, 9.85, 9.24, and 8.28, respectively. These pK(a) values were in the same order as area per molecule values of fatty acids in spread monolayers. This suggests that as area per molecule increases the intermolecular distance increases and pK(a) decreases due to reduced cooperation between adjacent carboxyl groups.

Abstract
Binary mixed monolayers of octadecanoic acid and three related amphiphilic compounds (octadecanamide, octadecylamine, octadecylurea) have been investigated at the air/water interface by surface pressure-area (Pi-Â) isotherms and their resistances to water evaporation (r). In addition, the excess free energies of mixing (DeltaG(E)) were calculated using the Goodrich method. Both the ln r vs x and DeltaG(E) vs x plots exhibit marked deviations from linearity, indicating a high degree of miscibility and nonideal behavior of the components in the mixed films. For all of these binary systems the excess free energies of mixing have been found to be minimum for a certain composition corresponding almost to a maximum in evaporation resistances. Weak interactions were detected in octadecanoic acid/octadecanamide monolayers, whereas significant condensation effects were observed in 1 : 1 mixed films containing octadecanoic acid and octadecylamine. This is attributed to an acid-base equilibrium followed by the formation of a well-ordered arrangement of COO(-) and NH(3)(+) head groups bound to each other by electrostatic forces. The unusual polymorphism of octadecylurea monolayers could be influenced by adding small amounts of octadecanoic acid. The formation of the low-temperature phase (beta-phase) is completely suppressed, if the acid content exceeds 8 mol%. The octadecanoic acid seems to induce the formation of the high-temperature phase (alpha-phase), which is characterized by a vertical orientation of the hydrocarbon chains.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of budesonide and salbutamol on the surfactant biophysical properties. The surface-tension properties of two bovine lipid extracts [bovine lipid extract surfactant (BLES) and Survanta] and a rat lung lavage natural surfactant were evaluated in vitro by the captive bubble surfactometer. Measurements were obtained before and after the addition of a low and high concentration of budesonide and salbutamol. Whereas salbutamol had no significant effect, budesonide markedly reduced the surface-tension-lowering properties of all surfactant preparations. Surfactant adsorption (decrease in surface tension vs. time) was significantly reduced (P < 0.01) at a high budesonide concentration with BLES, both concentrations with Survanta, and a low concentration with natural surfactant. At both concentrations, budesonide reduced (P < 0.01) Survanta film stability (minimal surface vs. time at minimum bubble volume), whereas no changes were seen with BLES. The minimal surface tension obtained for all surfactant preparations was significantly higher (P < 0.01), and the percentage of film area compression required to reach minimum surface tension was significantly lower after the addition of budesonide. In conclusion, budesonide, at concentrations used therapeutically, adversely affects the surface-tension-lowering properties of surfactant. We speculate that it may have the same adverse effect on the human surfactant.

Abstract
An experimental investigation on the effect of surfactant monolayers on the heat transfer through air/water and oil/water interfaces was carried out by observing the changes of surface temperature with IR Imaging Radiometer (Model 760). The heat transfer resistance of various single component and mixed monolayers at air/water and oil/water systems was studied. The results show that the surfactant monolayers introduce a noticeable heat transfer resistance to the heat transfer process across the interface. The solid monolayers exhibit lower resistance to heat transfer than the liquid monolayers at the oil/water interface. At air/water interface, the presence of monolayer decreases the evaporative cooling process and therefore increases the surface temperature rapidly. However, the presence of a monolayer at oil/water interface increases the heat transfer resistance across the oil/water interface. Heat transfer resistance increases as the chain length of fatty acid increases at the oil/water interface. The effects of phase-transition from a two-dimensional solid to the liquid state in cholesterol-arachidyl mixed monolayers was observed from the change in heat transfer resistance of the monolayers at the oil/water interface. The optimum molecular packing at the 1:3 molecular ratio in mixed surfactant monolayers of oleic acid-cholesterol and stearic acid-stearyl alcohol at the oil/water interface was also observed by this technique.

Abstract
The effects of changes in bilayer phase structure on the permeability of acetic acid and trimethylacetic acid were studied in large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/cholesterol (CHOL), dihexadecylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC)/CHOL, or DPPC/dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) using an NMR line-broadening method. Phase transitions were induced by changes in temperature and lipid composition (i.e., XCHOL was varied from 0.0 to 0.5 and XDMPC from 0.0 to 1.0). In DPPC/CHOL and DHPC/CHOL bilayers, the addition of CHOL induces only a modest change in the permeability coefficient (Pm) of acetic acid in the gel-phase (Pbeta') but significantly reduces Pm in ordered and disordered liquid-crystalline phases (Lo and Lalpha). Abrupt changes in slopes in semi-logarithmic plots of Pm vs. XCHOL occur at specific values of XCHOL and temperature corresponding to the boundaries between Pbeta' and Lo or between Lalpha and Lo phases. In most respects, phase diagrams generated from the break points in plots of Pm vs. XCHOL obtained at various temperatures in DHPC/CHOL and DPPC/CHOL bilayers closely resemble those constructed previously for DPPC/CHOL bilayers using NMR and DSC methods. Above Tm, the phase diagrams generated from permeability data reveal the presence of both the disordered (Lalpha) and the ordered (Lo) liquid-crystalline phases, as well as the two-phase coexistence region. In DPPC/DMPC bilayers, the addition of DMPC increases Pm dramatically in the gel phase but only slightly in the liquid-crystalline phase. Abrupt changes in slopes in semi-logarithmic plots of Pm vs. XDMPC also occur at specific values of XDMPC and temperature, from which a phase diagram can be constructed which closely resembles diagrams obtained previously by other methods. These correlations indicate that trans-bilayer permeability measurements can be used to construct lipid bilayer phase diagrams. Positive deviations of Pm from predicted values based on the phase lever rule are observed in the two-phase coexistence regions with the degree of the deviation depending on bilayer chemical composition and temperature. These results may reflect a specific contribution of the interfacial region between two phases to higher solute permeability or may be due to the higher lateral compressibility of lipid bilayers in the two-phase coexistence region.
