Binding of hydrophobic drugs to lipid bilayers and to the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. 1983

E K Rooney, and A G Lee

Microelectrophoretic studies of the binding of a number of commonly used hydrophobic amine drugs to liposomes demonstrated the existence of relatively large surface potentials associated with binding of the protonated forms of the drugs. A theoretical treatment based on Langmuir adsorption isotherms and the Gouy-Chapman theory of the diffuse double layer allows estimation of drug-binding constants from electrophoretic mobility data. Such constants allow calculation of the charge effects arising from drug binding in more complex membrane systems, and it is shown that shifts in the apparent Ca+ affinity of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum in the presence of hydrophobic amine drugs are readily explicable in terms of the electrostatic effects of drug binding.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008051 Lipid Bilayers Layers of lipid molecules which are two molecules thick. Bilayer systems are frequently studied as models of biological membranes. Bilayers, Lipid,Bilayer, Lipid,Lipid Bilayer
D008433 Mathematics The deductive study of shape, quantity, and dependence. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Mathematic
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
