Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) interact with various biologically relevant entities. A basic understanding of this interaction is very important for various applications in the biological field. In this work, the focus is on the study of the interaction between tetronics and Keggin POMs. T701 and T90R4 are the two tetronics considered here; they have different solubilities in water due to different PPO/PEO ratios. The arrangement of PPO and PEO is also different with respect to the central ethylenediamine groups. Three different Keggin-type POMs, phosphomolybdic acid (PMA), phosphotungstic acid (PTA), and silicotungstic acid (STA), with different charge densities are chosen for an elaborate investigation using Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The observation is analyzed thoroughly, which shows both electrostatic interaction and adsorption of POMs on the PPO blocks of the tetronics due to the chaotropic effect, which is responsible for the binding of POMs (in subphase) with the tetronic monolayer. This interaction results in an expanded yet rigid monolayer for POM-tetronic association on the surface. Surface pressure vs mean molecular area isotherm is the key characterization to reach the conclusion. UV-vis spectroscopy, NMR, ITC, ellipsometric studies, FTIR, and SEM also serve as supportive characterization techniques.

Abstract
Fluorosurfactants are long-lasting environmental pollutants that accumulate at interfaces ranging from aerosol droplet surfaces to cell membranes. Modeling of adsorption-based removal technologies for fluorosurfactants requires accurate simulation methods which can predict their adsorption isotherm and monolayer structure. Fluorotelomer alcohols with one or two methylene groups adjacent to the alcohol (7 : 1 FTOH and 6 : 2 FTOH, respectively) are investigated using the OPLS-AA force field at the water|hexane interface, varying the interfacial area per surfactant. The acquired interfacial pressure isotherms and monolayer phase behavior are compared with previous experimental results. The results are consistent with the experimental data inasmuch as, at realistic adsorption densities, only 7 : 1 FTOH shows a phase transition between liquid-expanded (LE) and 2D crystalline phases. Structures of the LE and crystalline phases are in good agreement with the sticky disc and Langmuir defective crystal models, respectively, used previously to interpret experimental data. Interfacial pressure of the LE phase agrees well with experiment, and sticky disc interaction parameters indicate no 2D LE-gas transition is present for either molecule. Conformation analysis reveals 7 : 1 FTOH favors conformers where the OH dipole is perpendicular to the molecular backbone, such that the crystalline phase is stabilized when these dipoles align.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria present an urgent and formidable threat to the global public health. Polymyxins have emerged as a last-resort therapy against these 'superbugs'; however, their efficacy against pulmonary infection is poor. In this study, we integrated chemical biology and molecular dynamics simulations to examine how the alveolar lung surfactant significantly reduces polymyxin antibacterial activity. We discovered that lung surfactant is a phospholipid-based permeability barrier against polymyxins, compromising their efficacy against target bacteria. Next, we unraveled the structure-interaction relationship between polymyxins and lung surfactant, elucidating the thermodynamics that govern the penetration of polymyxins through this critical surfactant layer. Moreover, we developed a novel analog, FADDI-235, which exhibited potent activity against Gram-negative bacteria, both in the presence and absence of lung surfactant. These findings shed new light on the sequestration mechanism of lung surfactant on polymyxins and importantly pave the way for the rational design of new-generation lipopeptide antibiotics to effectively treat Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Egg-derived peptides are becoming increasingly popular due to their biological activity and non-toxic effects. The egg-derived peptides Arg-Val-Pro-Ser-Leu (RVPSL) and Gln-Ile-Gly-Leu-Phe (QIGLF) display strong angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity and they can be taken up by intestinal epithelial cells. The interaction of the egg-derived peptides RVPSL and QIGLF with the membrane remains unclear. RESULTS The position and structure of the peptides in the membrane were calculated. The maximum density values of RVPSL and QIGLF were 2.27 and 1.22 nm from the center of the 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) membrane, respectively, indicating that peptides penetrated the membrane-water interface and were embedded in the membrane. The interaction of RVPSL and QIGLF with the DPPC membrane did not affect the average area per lipid or the lipid sequence parameters. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS of the interaction between the peptide RVPSL with the DPPC membrane were 17.91 kJ mol-1 , -17.63 kJ mol-1 , 187.5 J mol-1 ·k-1 , respectively. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS of the interaction between peptide QIGLF with DPPC membrane were 17.10 kJ mol-1 , -17.12 kJ mol-1 , 114.8 J mol-1 ·k-1 , respectively. CONCLUSION The results indicated that the binding of peptides RVPSL and QIGLF to DPPC is an endothermic, spontaneous, and entropy-driven reaction. The results of the study are relevant to the problem of the low bioavailability of bioactive peptides (BP). © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Investigation of the interaction between drugs and biomembrane models, as a strategy to study and eventually improve drug/substrate interactions, is a crucial factor in preliminary screening. Synthesized peptides represent a source of potential anticancer and theragnostic drugs. In this study, we investigated the interaction of a novel synthesized peptide, called RH-23, with a simplified dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) model of the cellular membrane. The interaction of RH-23 with DMPC, organized either in multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) and in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers, was assessed using thermodynamic techniques, namely differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and LB. The calorimetric evaluations showed that RH-23 inserted into MLVs, causing a stabilization of the phospholipid gel phase that increased with the molar fraction of RH-23. Interplay with LB monolayers revealed that RH-23 interacted with DMPC molecules. This work represents the first experimental thermodynamic study on the interaction between RH-23 and a simplified model of the lipid membrane, thus providing a basis for further evaluations of the effect of RH-23 on biological membranes and its therapeutic/diagnostic potential.

Abstract
Understanding the adsorption mechanism of corticosteroids in the lung surfactant requires the knowledge of corticosteroid molecular interactions with lung surfactant monolayer (LSM). We employed coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation to explore the action of hydrocortisone on an LSM comprised of a phospholipid, cholesterol and surfactant protein. The structural and dynamical morphology of the lung surfactant monolayer at different surface tensions were investigated to assess the monolayer compressibility. The simulations were also conducted at the two extreme ends of breathing cycles: exhalation (0 mN m-1 surface tension) and inhalation (20 mN m-1 surface tension). The impact of surface tension and hydrocortisone concentration on the monolayer compressibility and stability are significant, resulting the monolayer expansion at higher surface tension. However, at low surface tension, the highly compressed monolayer induces monolayer instability in the presence of the drug due to the accumulation of surfactant protein and drug. The constant area per lipid simulation results demonstrate that the surface pressure-area isotherms show a decrease in area-per-lipid with increased drug concentration. The drug-induced expansion causes considerable instability in the monolayer after a specific drug concentration is attained at inhalation breathing condition, whereas, for exhalation breathing, the monolayer gets more compressed, causing the LSM to collapse. The monolayer collapse occurs for inhalation due to the higher drug concentration, whereas for exhalation due to the accumulation of surfactant proteins and drugs. The findings from this study will aid in enhancing the knowledge of molecular interactions of corticosteroid drugs with lung surfactants to treat respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Tripeptide NCW identified in Mizuhopecten yessoensis has been shown to possess in vivo antihypertensive effect. However, the poor understanding of the absorption of NCW across the membrane limits its application. In this study, we have investigated the interaction of NCW with DPPC membrane via 400 ns all-atom molecular dynamic simulation using GROMACS software. The structural variations of NCW during absorption, the location and distribution of NCW in the membrane, and the effect of NCW on the properties of membranes during simulation were analyzed to understand the dynamic behavior of NCW in DPPC membrane system. The results suggested that the structures of NCW were stable during simulation. Further, NCW could bind on the surface of the DPPC membrane and enter the hydrophobic interior of the DPPC membrane. Residue Try played an important role in the absorption of NCW across the membrane. Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions stabilized the interaction of NCW with the membrane. All the above studies analyzed the interaction mechanism between NCW and DPPC membranes at the atomic level and laid the foundation for further transmembrane studies of NCW.

Abstract
Cell membrane models are useful for obtaining molecular-level information on the interaction of biologically active molecules whose activity is believed to depend also on their effects on the membrane. Cytarabine was conjugated with fatty acids to improve the drug lipophilicity and the interaction with the biomembrane model. Cytarabine was conjugated with fatty acids of different lengths to form the trimyristoyl cytarabine and the tristearoyl cytarabine derivatives. Their interaction with biomembrane models constituted by dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) monolayers was studied by employing the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. DMPC/cytarabine, DMPC/trimyristoyl cytarabine and DMPC/tristearoyl cytarabine mixed monolayers at increasing molar fractions of the compound were prepared and placed on the subphase. The mean molecular area/surface pressure isotherms were recorded at 37 °C. Between the molecules of DMPC and those of cytarabine or prodrugs, repulsive forces act. However, these forces are very weak between DMPC and cytarabine and stronger between DMPC and the cytarabine derivatives, thus avoiding the expulsion of the compounds at higher surface pressure and modifying the stability of the mixed monolayer. The fatty acid moieties could then modulate the affinity of cytarabine for biomembranes.

Abstract
The lung surfactant monolayer (LSM) is the main barrier for particles entering the lung, including steroid drugs used to treat lung diseases. The present study combines Langmuir experiments and coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the concentration-dependent effect of steroid drug prednisolone on the structure and morphology of a model LSM. The surface pressure-area isotherms for the Langmuir monolayers reveal a concentration-dependent decrease in area per lipid (APL). Results from simulations at a fixed surface tension, representing inhalation and exhalation conditions, suggest that at high drug concentrations, prednisolone induces a collapse of the LSM, which is likely caused by the inability of the drug to diffuse into the bilayer. Overall, the monolayer is most susceptible to drug-induced collapse at surface tensions representing exhalation conditions. The presence of cholesterol also exacerbates the instability. The findings of this investigation might be helpful for better understanding the interaction between steroid drug prednisolone and lung surfactants in relation to off-target effects.

Abstract
The lung surfactant monolayer (LSM) is a thin layer of lipids and proteins that forms the air/water interface of the alveoli. The primary function of the LSM is to reduce the surface tension at the air/water interface during breathing. The LSM also forms the main biological barrier for any inhaled particles, including drugs, to treat lung diseases. Elucidating the mechanism by which these drugs bind to and absorb into the LSM requires a molecular-level understanding of any drug-induced changes to the morphology, structure, and phase changes of the LSM.Molecular dynamics simulations have been used extensively to study the structure and dynamics of the LSM. The monolayer is usually simulated in at least two states: the compressed state, mimicking exhalation, and the expanded state, mimicking inhalation. In this chapter, we provide detailed instructions on how to set up, run, and analyze coarse-grained MD simulations to study the concentration-dependent effect of a sterol drug on the LSM, both in the expanded and compressed state.

Abstract
Mometasone is an investigational anti-inflammatory steroidal drug to treat inflammation via pulmonary administration. For steroid drugs to be effective they need to be adsorbed by lung surfactants, a thin monolayer at the air-water interface in alveoli that reduces surface tension. Information on the molecular-level interactions of the drug with lung surfactants is useful to understand the mechanism of adsorption. In this study, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation to understand the concentration-dependent effect of mometasone on a lung surfactant monolayer (LSM) composed of lipids and surfactant proteins, under two different breathing conditions (exhalation, at surface tension 0 mNm-1 and inhalation, surface tension 20-25 mNm-1). A series of fixed-APL and fixed-surface tension simulations were used to demonstrate that in the absence of drugs, the model LSM reproduces the surface tensions for the compressed and expanded states, as well as compressibility at different surface tensions. In-depth analysis of simulations of a LSM in the presence of five different drug concentrations shows that mometasone alters the structure and dynamics of the LSM in a concentration-dependent manner. Mometasone induces a collapse in the monolayer that is affected by the surfactant protein and surface tension. Overall, these findings suggest that the surfactant proteins, surface tension and drug concentration are all critical components affecting monolayer stability and drug adsorption. The outcomes of this study may be beneficial for a more in-depth understanding of how mometasone is adsorbed by lung surfactants.

Abstract
We review the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation as a drug design tool in the context of the role that the lipid membrane can play in drug action, i.e., the interaction between candidate drug molecules and lipid membranes. In the standard "lock and key" paradigm, only the interaction between the drug and a specific active site of a specific protein is considered; the environment in which the drug acts is, from a biophysical perspective, far more complex than this. The possible mechanisms though which a drug can be designed to tinker with physiological processes are significantly broader than merely fitting to a single active site of a single protein. In this paper, we focus on the role of the lipid membrane, arguably the most important element outside the proteins themselves, as a case study. We discuss work that has been carried out, using MD simulation, concerning the transfection of drugs through membranes that act as biological barriers in the path of the drugs, the behavior of drug molecules within membranes, how their collective behavior can affect the structure and properties of the membrane and, finally, the role lipid membranes, to which the vast majority of drug target proteins are associated, can play in mediating the interaction between drug and target protein. This review paper is the second in a two-part series covering MD simulation as a tool in pharmaceutical research; both are designed as pedagogical review papers aimed at both pharmaceutical scientists interested in exploring how the tool of MD simulation can be applied to their research and computational scientists interested in exploring the possibility of a pharmaceutical context for their research.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX) is a potent anticancer agent, which is clinically administered by infusion for treating pulmonary metastasis of different cancers. Systemic injection of PTX is promising in treating pulmonary metastasis of various cancers but simultaneously leads to many severe complications in the body. In this study, we have demonstrated a noninvasive approach for delivering PTX to deep pulmonary tissues via an inhalable phospholipid-based nanocochleate platform and showed its potential in treating pulmonary metastasis of melanoma cancer. Nanocochleates have been previously explored for oral delivery of anticancer drugs; their application for aerosol-based administration has not been accomplished in the literature thus far. Our results showed that the PTX-carrying aerosol nanocochleates (PTX-CPTs) possessed excellent pulmonary surfactant action characterized by high surface activity and encouraging in vitro terminal airway patency when compared to the marketed Taxol formulation, which is known to contain a high amount of Cremophore EL. We observed under in vitro twin-impinger analysis that the PTX-CPT had a high tendency to get deposited in stage II (alveolar region of lungs), indicating the capability of CPT to reach the deep alveolar region. Further, while exposed to the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549), the PTX-CPT showed excellent cytotoxicity mediated by enhanced cellular uptake via energy-dependent endocytosis. Aerosol-based administration of PTX-CPT in a pulmonary metastatic murine melanoma model (B16F10) resulted in significant (p < 0.05) tumor growth inhibition when compared to an intravenous dose of Taxol. Inhibition of tumor growth in aerosol-based PTX-CPT-treated animals was evident by the significant (p < 0.05) reduction in numbers of tumor nodules and percent metastasis area covered by melanoma cells in the lung when compared to other treatment groups. Overall, our finding suggests that PTX can be safely administered in the form of an aerosol using a newly developed CPT system, which serves a dual purpose as both a drug delivery carrier and a pulmonary surfactant in treating pulmonary metastasis.

Abstract
Pulmonary drug delivery has attracted increasing attention in biomedicine, and porous particles can effectively enhance the aerosolization performance and bioavailability of drugs. However, the existing methods for preparing porous particles using porogens have several drawbacks, such as the inhomogeneous and uncontrollable pores, drug leakage, and high risk of fragmentation. In this study, a series of cyclodextrin-based metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) particles containing homogenous nanopores were delicately engineered without porogens. Compared with commercial inhalation carrier, CD-MOF showed excellent aerosolization performance because of the homogenous nanoporous structure. The great biocompatibility of CD-MOF in pulmonary delivery was also confirmed by a series of experiments, including cytotoxicity assay, hemolysis ratio test, lung function evaluation, in vivo lung injury markers measurement, and histological analysis. The results of ex vivo fluorescence imaging showed the high deposition rate of CD-MOF in lungs. Therefore, all results demonstrated that CD-MOF was a promising carrier for pulmonary drug delivery. This study may throw light on the nanoporous particles for effective pulmonary administration.

Abstract
The Langmuir monolayer technique has long been known for its usefulness to study the interaction between molecules and mimic cellular membranes to understand the mechanism of action of biologically relevant molecules. In this review we summarize the results that provided insight into the potential mechanism for lowering the plasma level of cholesterol by hypocholesterolemic substances (unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) and phytocompounds) - in the aspect of prevention of atherosclerosis - and their effects on model biomembranes. The results on UFAs/cholesterol (oxysterols) interactions indicate that these systems are miscible and strongly interacting, contrary to immiscible systems containing saturated fatty acids. Lowering of cholesterol plasma level by UFAs was attributed to the strong affinity between UFAs and sterols, resulting in the formation of high stability complexes, in which sterols were bound and eliminated from the body. Studies on the effect of UFAs and plant sterols/stanols on simplified biomembranes (modeled as cholesterol/DPPC system) indicated that the studied hypocholesterolemic substances modify the biophysical properties of model membrane, affecting its fluidity and interactions between membrane components. Both UFAs and plant sterols/stanols were found to loosen interactions between DPPC and cholesterol and decrease membrane rigidity caused by the excess cholesterol in biomembrane, thus compensating strong condensing effect of cholesterol and restoring proper membrane fluidity, which is of utmost importance for normal cells functioning. The agreement between model - in vitro - studies and biological results prove the usefulness of the Langmuir monolayer technique, which helps in understanding the mode of action of biologically relevant substances.

Abstract
Designing interfacial structures with nanoscale (or molecular) components is one of the important tasks in the nanoarchitectonics concept. In particular, the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method can become a promising and powerful strategy in interfacial nanoarchitectonics. From this viewpoint, the status of LB films in 2020 will be discussed in this feature article. After one section on the basics of interfacial nanoarchitectonics with the LB technique, various recent research examples of LB films are introduced according to classifications of (i) growing research, (ii) emerging research, and (iii) future research. In recent LB research, various materials other than traditional lipids and typical amphiphiles can be used as film components of the LB techniques. Two-dimensional materials, supramolecular structures such as metal organic frameworks, and biomaterials such as DNA origami pieces are capable of working as functional components in the LB assemblies. Possible working areas of the LB methods would cover emerging demands, including energy, environmental, and biomedical applications with a wide range of functional materials. In addition, forefront research such as molecular manipulation and cell fate control is conducted in LB-related interfacial science. The LB technique is a traditional and well-develop methodology for molecular films with a ca. 100 year history. However, there is plenty of room at the interfaces, as shown in LB research examples described in this feature article. It is hoped that the continuous development of the science and technology of the LB method make this technique an unforgettable methodology.

Abstract
Biological membranes are highly dynamic in their ability to orchestrate vital mechanisms including cellular protection, organelle compartmentalization, cellular biomechanics, nutrient transport, molecular/enzymatic recognition, and membrane fusion. Controlling lipid composition of different membranes allows cells to regulate their membrane characteristics, thus modifying their physical properties to permit specific protein interactions and drive structural function (membrane deformation facilitates vesicle budding and fusion) and signal transduction. Yet, how lipids control protein structure and function is still poorly understood and needs systematic investigation. In this review, we explore different in vitro membrane models and summarize our current understanding of the interplay between membrane biophysical properties and lipid-protein interaction, taken as example few proteins involved in muscular activity (dystrophin), digestion and Legionella pneumophila effector protein DrrA. The monolayer model with its movable barriers aims to mimic any membrane deformation while surface pressure modulation imitates lipid packing and membrane curvature changes. It is frequently used to investigate peripheral protein binding to the lipid headgroups. Examples of how lipid lateral pressure modifies protein interaction and organization within the membrane are presented using various biophysical techniques. Interestingly, the shear elasticity and surface viscosity of the monolayer will increase upon specific protein(s) binding, supporting the importance of such mechanical link for membrane stability. The lipid bilayer models such as vesicles are not only used to investigate direct protein binding based on the lipid nature, but more importantly to assess how local membrane curvature (vesicles with different size) influence the binding properties of a protein. Also, supported lipid bilayer model has been used widely to characterize diffusion law of lipids within the bilayer and/or protein/biomolecule binding and diffusion on the membrane. These membrane models continue to elucidate important advances regarding the dynamic properties harmonizing lipid-protein interaction.
