Abstract
Introduction: Various pharmaceutical preparations are widely used for clinical treatment. Elucidation of the mechanisms of drug release and evaluation of drug efficacy in biological samples are important in drug design and drug quality control.Areas covered: This review classifies recent applications of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the field of medicine to comprehend drug release and diffusion. Drug release is affected by many factors of preparations, such as drug delivery system and microstructure polymorphism. The applications of FTIR imaging and nano-FTIR technique in biological samples lay a foundation for studying drug mechanism in vivo.Expert opinion: FTIR spectroscopy meets the research needs on preparations to understand the processes and mechanisms underlying drug release. The combination of attenuated total reflectance-FTIR imaging and nano-FTIR accompanied by chemometrics is a potent tool to overcome the deficiency of conventional infrared detection. FTIR shows an enormous potential in drug characterization, drug quality control, and bio-sample detection.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 227:117563.

Abstract
Phenothiazines are very effective antipsychotic drugs, which also have anticancer and antimicrobial activities. Despite being used in human treatment, the molecular mechanism of the biological actions of these molecules is not yet understood in detail. The role of the interactions between phenothiazines and proteins or lipid membranes has been much discussed. Herein, fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic studies were used to investigate the effect of three phenothiazines: fluphenazine (FPh); chlorpromazine (ChP); and propionylpromazine (PP) on the structures of a positively charged poly-l-lysine (PLL) peptide, a negatively charged dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine/dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPC/DPPG) membrane, and on the mutual interactions between electrostatically associated PLL molecules and DPPC/DPPG membranes. Phenothiazine-induced alterations in the secondary structure of PLL, the conformational state (trans/gauche) of the hydrocarbon lipid chains, and the hydration of the DPPC/DPPG membrane interface were studied on the basis of amide I' vibrations, antisymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations of the CH2 groups of the lipid hydrocarbon chains (νsCH2), and stretching vibrations of the lipid C=O groups (νC = O), respectively. It was shown that in the presence of negatively charged DPPC/DPPG membranes, the phenothiazines were able to modify the secondary structure of charged PLL molecules. Additionally, the effect of PLL on the structure of DPPC/DPPG membranes was also altered by the presence of the phenothiazine molecules.

Abstract
Resveratrol (Res), a natural polyphenol present in different plants and vegetables, exhibits potential therapeutic activity with cardioprotective, antineurodegenerative, antioxidant, and antitumor action. In this study, the effect of Res on the mutual interactions between positively charged poly-l-lysine (PLL) and negatively charged dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine/dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPC/DPPG) membranes was studied using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy supported by principal component analysis (PCA). The interactions between PLL and DPPC/DPPG membranes were strongly affected by the presence of Res molecules. Depending on the Res concentration and method of its supply (through the water or lipid phase) to the studied peptide-membrane systems, the membrane-induced transition of PLL from an α-helix to an extended left-handed polyproline II helix (PPII) occurred at different temperatures, with different cooperativity, or was even completely suppressed. The influence of PLL on the conformational (trans/gauche) state of the hydrocarbon chain region of the lipid membranes and the hydration state of the polar/apolar membrane interface was also modulated by Res, depending on the membrane phase state.

Prodan emission-excitation fluorescence spectroscopy supported by PARAFAC analysis. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2018; 192:16-22.

Abstract
It has been shown that Prodan emission-excitation fluorescence spectroscopy supported by Parallel Factor (PARAFAC) analysis is a fast, simple and sensitive method used in the study of the phase transition from the noninterdigitated gel (Lβ') state to the interdigitated gel (LβI) phase, triggered by ethanol and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) molecules in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholines (DPPC) membranes. The relative contribution of lipid phases with spectral characteristics of each pure phase component has been presented as a function of an increase in alcohol concentration. It has been stated that both alcohol molecules can induce a formation of the LβI phase, but TFE is over six times stronger inducer of the interdigitated phase in DPPC membranes than ethanol molecules. Moreover, in the TFE-mixed DPPC membranes, the transition from the Lβ' to LβI phase is accompanied by a formation of the fluid phase, which most probably serves as a boundary phase between the Lβ' and LβI regions. Contrary to the three phase-state model of TFE-mixed DPPC membranes, in ethanol-mixed DPPC membranes only the two phase-state model has been detected.

Abstract
The effect of halothane, enflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane molecules, as volatile anesthetics, on the α-helices and polyproline II extended helices (PPII) of long-chain poly-l-lysine (PLL) were studied using Fourier-transform infrared and vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy. Uncharged and charged α-helices, as well as charged extended PPII helices, were subjected to anesthetic actions in solvents with different pD values or methanol to water ratios. A crucial factor responsible for hindering the anesthetic-PLL interactions is shown to be the ionization of amino groups of the PLL side chains. The α-helix to β-sheet transition was triggered only for the uncharged α-helical structures of PLL by the nonpolar anesthetics under study.

Abstract
The effect of inhalation anesthetics (enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane or halothane) on the lipid chain-melting phase transition of negatively charged phospholipid membranes was studied using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy supported by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). NIR spectra of anesthetics-mixed dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) membranes were recorded in a range of the first overtone of the symmetric and antisymmetric stretching vibrations of CH2 groups of lipid aliphatic chains as a function of increasing temperature. Anesthetic-dependent changes in the trans to gauche conformers ratio of CH2 groups in the hydrocarbon lipid chains were characterized in detail and compared with the zwitterionic lipid membranes, which were built of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) molecules.

Abstract
Synthetic compounds derived from cinnamic acid were tested in cultures containing the promastigote form of Leishmania amazonensis and the dimethylsulphoxide solution of B2 compound (2.0 mg/mL) led to a 92% decrease of leishmania in 96 h of treatment. Then, different liposomal systems (diameters ∼200 nm) were prepared by the extrusion method in the presence and absence of compounds studied. DSC thermograms of the liposomes in the presence of these compounds caused changes in ΔH, Tm and ΔT1/2, compared to controls, indicating that there was an interaction of the compounds with the lipid bilayer. Assays with negatively charged liposomal systems containing these drugs in L. amazonensis cultures led to a 50-80% decrease in the number of leishmanias with a concentration to 100 times lower when compared to the B2 initial test. These liposomal systems are promoting more interaction and delivery of the compounds and proved to be an efficient, stable and promising system.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistance (MDR) phenomena are a worldwide health concern. ATP-binding cassette efflux pumps as P-glycoprotein have been thoroughly studied in a frantic run to develop new efflux modulators capable to reverse MDR phenotypes. The study of efflux pumps has provided some key aspects on drug extrusion, however the answers could not be found solely on ATP-binding cassette transporters. Its counterpart – the plasma membrane – is now emerging as a critical structure able to modify drug behavior and efflux pump activity. Alterations in the membrane surrounding P-glycoprotein are now known to modulate drug efflux, with membrane-related biophysical, biochemical and mechanical aspects further increasing the complexity of an already multifaceted phenomena. This review summarizes the main knowledge comprising the plasma membrane role in MDR.
