Bolaamphiphiles promote phospholipid translocation across vesicle membranes

A series of membrane-spanning bolaamphiphiles (molecules with two hydrophilic end groups connected by a hydrophobic linker) were prepared by a modular synthetic method and evaluated for their abilities to affect the dynamics of a surrounding bilayer membrane. The goal was to determine if the bolaamphiphiles promote the translocation of phospholipids across vesicle membranes. The bolaamphiphiles were incorporated at low levels (up to 5 mol %) in vesicles composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). Inward translocation assays were performed using fluorescent, NBD-labeled phospholipid probes with phosphocholine (PC) or phosphoglycerol (PG) headgroups. The membrane-spanning bolaamphiphiles promote the translocation of both phospholipid probes in the order PG > PC, whereas shorter bolaamphiphiles (structures that must adopt a U-shape and keep both end groups in the same leaflet of the membrane), and regular amphiphiles with one hydrophilic end group, are inactive. These results are an exception to the rule-of-thumb that membrane-spanning bolaamphiphiles are inherently membrane-stabilizing molecules that inhibit all types of membrane transport.     

Temperature-dependent self-assembly and mixing behavior of symmetrical single-chain bolaamphiphiles

The temperature-dependent self-assembly and the mixing behavior of symmetrical single-chain bolaamphiphiles with different polymethylene chain lengths and different headgroup structures were investigated in water by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), cryo transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The even-numbered polymethylene-1,omega-bis(phosphocholines) (PC-C n-PC) are known to form nanofibers composed of stretched molecules with an all- trans alkyl chain conformation (Drescher, S.; Meister, A.; Blume, A.; Karlsson, G.; Almgren, M.; Dobner, B. Chem.Eur. J. 2007, 13, 5300-5307). The odd-numbered analogues were synthesized to study a possible even-odd effect of these bolaamphiphiles during their aggregation in water. In addition to these bolaamphiphiles with phosphocholine headgroups, a new series of polymethylene-1,omega-bis(phosphodimethylethanolamines) (Me2PE-Cn-Me2PE) with smaller headgroup sizes was synthesized. These bolaamphiphiles show an additional fiber-fiber transition when the alkyl chain length exceeds 26 carbon atoms. The mixing behavior of both types of bolaamphiphiles indicates that differences in the alkyl chain length up to six carbon atoms are tolerated within the fiber structure. The mixing of two Me2PE-Cn-Me2PE or PC-Cn-PC type bolaamphiphiles with different alkyl chain lengths offers the possibility to adjust the temperature, where the cross-linking of the fibers is disrupted and where the fibers break apart. As a consequence, temperature switchable hydrogels are obtained that can be fine-tuned for drug delivery applications. The comparison with dotriacontane-1,32-diyl-bis[2-(methylammonio)-ethylphosphate] (MePE-C32-MePE), a new bolaamphiphile with even smaller phosphomonomethylammonio headgroups, illustrates the importance of the headgroup size for the aggregation behavior. This bolaamphiphile self-assembles exclusively into lamellar structures, and this aggregate type persists in mixtures with the fiber forming Me2PE-C32-Me2PE.     

Membrane-mimetic films of asymmetric phosphatidylcholine lipid bolaamphiphiles

Membrane-spanning phospholipid bolaamphiphiles either alone or as a constituent of a multicomponent lipid membrane may prove to be facile building blocks for generating robust bioactive membrane-mimetic assemblies. We have previously reported the synthesis of asymmetric dialkyl phospholipid bolaamphiphiles that contain ester linked phosphatidylcholine and amine functionalities at opposite chain ends. In this report, we describe the synthesis of phospholipid bolaamphiphiles that are conjugated to biotin via the terminal amine with or without a poly(ethylene oxide) spacer arm of varying chain length. The behavior of biotinylated bolaamphiphiles as a self-assembled monolayer at an air-water interface was characterized by epi-fluorescence microscopy and revealed that domain structure and pi-A isotherms were substantially influenced by linker type and size. Substrate bound assemblies were produced by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition onto planar substrates coated with an avidin derivatized polyelectrolyte multilayer. Significantly, external reflectance infrared spectroscopy confirmed the fabrication of bolaamphiphile thin films that display extended stability in vitro.     

Organized assemblies in bolaamphiphile/oppositely charged conventional surfactant mixed systems

Five ionic bolaamphiphiles were synthesized and the aggregation behavior of bola single systems and bola/oppositely charged conventional surfactant mixed systems was studied. Small spherical vesicles were formed in all these mixed systems revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Variation of the structure of the hydrophobic chain of bolaamphiphiles has great influences on the vesicle formation ability. Vesicles were also found in the single system of a carboxylate bolaamphiphile, which was attributed to the hydrolysis of the bolaamphiphile. The results of FT-IR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that bolaamphiphiles spanned through the vesicle membranes in these mixed systems. Super thermostability of the vesicles in this kind of mixed system was also investigated.     

Self-assembly of bipolar amphiphiles

Over the past 2 years, various symmetrical and unsymmetrical bipolar amphiphiles (bolaamphiphiles) have been synthesized to study their self-organizing and packing properties alone as well as in mixtures with conventional amphiphiles. This review focuses on the lyotropic properties of these bolaamphiphiles and describes their in some cases quite unusual supramolecular self-assembling properties in aqueous media and at the air–water and liquid–solid interface.     

Controlling Aqueous Self‐Assembly Mechanisms by Hydrophobic Interactions

We report an innovative template‐assisted synthetic protocol for the selective functionalization of terminal triple bonds in oligophenyleneethynylenes (OPE) by pre‐organization in aqueous solution. By this approach, three new OPE‐based bolaamphiphiles substituted with hydrophilic poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline) (PEtOx) chains of different length have been synthesized. The chain length was observed to strongly influence the aqueous supramolecular polymerization: bolaamphiphiles with longer hydrophilic chains aggregate into spherical nanoparticles in a stepwise fashion, whereas 2D anisotropic platelets are formed cooperatively if shorter PEtOx chains are used. Our results demonstrate that hydrophobic interactions can be strong enough to trigger cooperative effects in aqueous self‐assembly processes.     

Interfacial self-organization of bolaamphiphiles bearing mesogenic groups: relationships between the molecular structures and their self-organized morphologies

This article discusses the relationship between the molecular structure of bolaamphiphiles bearing mesogenic groups and their interfacial self-organized morphology. On the basis of the molecular structures of bolaamphiphiles, we designed and synthesized a series of molecules with different hydrophobic alkyl chain lengths, hydrophilic headgroups, mesogenic groups, and connectors between the alkyl chains and the mesogenic group. Through investigating their interfacial self-organization behavior, some experiential rules are summarized: (1) An appropriate alkyl chain length is necessary to form stable surface micelles; (2) different categories of headgroups have a great effect on the interfacial self-organized morphology; (3) different types of mesogenic groups have little effect on the structure of the interfacial assembly when it is changed from biphenyl to azobenzene or stilbene; (4) the orientation of the ester linker between the mesogenic group and alkyl chain can greatly influence the interfacial self-organization behavior. It is anticipated that this line of research may be helpful for the molecular engineering of bolaamphiphiles to form tailor-made morphologies.     

Monolayer lipid membrane-forming dissymmetrical bolaamphiphiles derived from alginate oligosaccharides

Design and synthesis of asymmetric acyclic phospholipid bolaamphiphiles

[structure: see text] A synthetic route was devised for the generation of asymmetric lipid bolaamphiphiles through the sequential esterification of an alkyldioic acid, bearing distinct terminal protecting groups, with propanylamine and lyso-phosphatidylcholine headgroups. Bolaamphiphile self-assembly was investigated in solvent mixes of varying polarity by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, as well as in water by cryo-high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (cryo-HRSEM). We anticipate that asymmetric lipid bolaamphiphiles will provide facile building blocks for engineering a variety of unique membrane-mimetic structures.
