胆盐与磷酸钙的相互作用

胆汁的pH条件下(pH=6～8)，应该生成无定形磷酸钙(ACP)，而在胆结石中磷酸钙通常以羟基磷灰石的形式出现.利用谱学方法研究了ACP与胆盐的作用.结果表明，胆盐以胶团的形式与ACP作用，在溶液中形成复合胶团，使其溶解度增加.不同类型胆盐与ACP的作用能力不同：脱氧胆酸钠(NaDC) > 牛磺胆酸钠(NaTC) > 胆酸钠(NaC).胆盐与ACP中结合钙的亲和能力大于结合钙的亲和能力，使ACP在胆汁的环境下容易转化为羟基磷灰石.

Spectroscopic studies on the interaction between acridine orange and bile salts

The structure of sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) micellar aggregates has been previously reported to be helical, and two helical models have been proposed for the micellar aggregates of sodium taurodeoxycholate (NaTDC). Here we report NMR and UV-VIS studies on the interaction between acridine orange (AO) and NaDC or NaTDC aqueous micellar solutions. AO is known to aggregate in aqueous solutions. The addition of NaDC or NaTDC causes the breaking of the AO aggregates, although the binding geometry of the two bile salts with AO seems to be slightly different. The cationic dye interacts mainly with the C₁₈ and C,9 methyl groups of the bile salt molecules. This result agrees with one of the two NaTDC helical models and with some of its possible aggregates, and confirms again the helical structure attributed to the NaDC micellar aggregates within the limits of the experimental conditions tested by us.Devoted to Professor Giovannai Battista Marini Bettolo Marconi on the occasion of his 75th birthday.     

Disaggregation of amphotericin B by sodium deoxycholate micellar aggregates

Amphotericin B (AmB) is present as aggregates in aqueous media. Sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) is known to cause disaggregation of AmB and to form monomers, as is observed by the increase of absorbance at 414 nm. By following the fluorescence intensity at 472 nm (lambda(ex) 335 nm), it was found that with increasing NaDC concentration there is a progressive disaggregation of AmB leading to increase in both monomeric and dimeric forms. Although the presence of dimeric AmB form in NaDC micellar media is known, observation of the growth of the dimeric species is novel. Studies in fluorescence lifetime and steady state fluorescence anisotropy also support this conclusion. As NaDC (at ca. 10 mM) is the preferred choice of medium for AmB delivery and AmB aggregation has been implicated for its toxicity, the observation of dimeric AmB at these NaDC concentrations assumes significance.     

Micellization of bile salts in aqueous medium: a fluorescence study

Owing to the physiological importance of the micellization process of bile salts, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) becomes a fundamental parameter in the evaluation of their biological activities. The present study suggests fluorescence probing, using 1,6-diphenylhexatriene (DPH), as a simple, convenient, sensitive and economic method for monitoring the micellization process of bile salts in aqueous medium. Three independent parameters: fluorescence intensity, anisotropy and lifetime of DPH have been employed successfully for determining the CMC of two bile salts, sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) and sodium cholate (NaC), in aqueous medium. The CMC values reported by all the above three parameters of DPH are found to be same and it is 16 mM for NaC and 6 mM for NaDC at 25 degrees C in unbuffered solution. The effect of temperature and ionic strength on the micellization process has also been investigated employing DPH as a fluorescent probe. Increasing temperature leads to the formation of fluffier micelles with less rigid interior for both NaC and NaDC. The micelle core of NaC is less perturbed by the presence of NaCl whereas in case of NaDC, the aggregates provide DPH a more nonpolar and rigid environment in presence of NaCl than that in absence of salt.     

SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF MICELLAR DISSOCIATION CONCENTRATION AND CRITICAL MICELLAR CONCENTRATION OF BILE SALTS BY pH MEASUREMENTS

This paper demonstrates a method of using a pH meter to determine the micellar dissociation concentration (mdc) and the. critical micellar concentration (cmc) of eight bile salt samples: sodium cholate (NaC), sodium deoxycholate (NaDC), sodium glycocholate (NaGC), sodium glycodeoxycholate (NaGDC), sodium glyco-chenodeoxycholate (NaGCDC), sodium taurocholate (NaTC), sodium taurodeoxycholate (NaTDC) and sodium taurochenodeoxycholate (NaTCDC). The experiments were performed by diluting the bile salt solutions with freshly distilled water and following the pH changes with a hydrogen ion electrode at 25°C. One break appears in most of the pH-concentration plots of the bile salt solutions, signifying mdc. However, two breaks appear for NaC and NaDC samples, signifying mdc and cmc. The mdc and cmc values are in good agreement with values determined by surface tension and turbidity methods and with data reported in the literature. The method described in this paper is quick, simple and requiring no sample purification. It is the only method which can be used to determine mdc and cmc simultaneously.     

Thermodynamics of demicellization of mixed micelles composed of sodium oleate and bile salts

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to determine the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the thermodynamic parameters associated with the demicellization of sodium oleate (NaO) and mixed micelles composed of the bile salt (BS) sodium cholate (NaC) or sodium deoxycholate (NaDC), respectively, and NaO at a molar ratio of 5:2. The influence of the ionic strength (pure water and 0.1 M NaCl at pH 7.5) as well as that of the temperature (10-70 degrees C) were analyzed. For NaO, two cmc's were detected, indicating a two-step aggregation process, whereas only one cmc was observed for the two BSs. A single aggregation mechanism is also evident for the demicellization of mixed micelles (BS/NaO 5:2). Increasing the ionic strength induces the well-known decrease of the cmc. The cmc shows a minimum at room temperature. The cmc(mix) of the mixed micelles was analyzed using models assuming an ideal or nonideal mixing behavior of both detergents. The thermodynamic parameters describing the enthalpy (deltaHdemic), entropy (deltaSdemic), and Gibbs energy change (deltaGdemic), as well as the change in heat capacity (deltaCp,demic) for demicellization, were obtained from one ITC experiment. From the temperature dependence of deltaHdemic, the change of the hydrophobic surface area of the detergents from the micellar into the aqueous phase was derived. In all cases, the deltaCp,demic values are positive. In addition, the temperature dependence of the size of the formed aggregates was studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS). DLS indicated two populations of aggregates in the mixed system, small primary micelles (0.5-2 nm), and larger aggregates with a hydrodynamic radius in the range of 50-150 nm.     

Aqueous sodium dehydrocholate-sodium deoxycholate mixtures at low concentration

The behavior of the sodium dehydrocholate (NaDHC)-sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) mixed system was studied by a battery of methods that examine effects caused by the different components of the system: monomers, micelles, and both components. The behavior of the mixed micellar system was studied by the application of Rubingh's model. The obtained results show that micellar interaction was repulsive when the aggregates were rich in NaDHC. The gradual inclusion of NaDC in micelles led to a structural transformation in the aggregates and the interaction became attractive. The bile salts' behavior in mixed monolayers at the air-solution interface was also investigated. Mixed monolayers are monotonically rich in NaDC, giving a stable and compact adsorbed layer. Results have shown that the interaction in both micelles and monolayer is not ideal and such behavior is assumed to be due to a structural factor in their hydrocarbon backbone.     

pH‐Responsive Aggregation of Amphiphilic Glyco‐Homopolymer

The first example of amphiphilic glyco‐homopolymers is reported and their aggregation properties as a function of solution pH are studied. Two structurally similar polymers with different hydrophobicity (C8 and C6 alkyl chains) are examined. Both polymers form micelle‐type aggregates in aqueous solution. The size and micro‐environment of the aggregates are found to be strongly dependent on solution pH because of the state of protonation of the tertiary amine group. At acidic pH, swollen multi‐micellar aggregates are formed, presumably because of the electrostatic repulsion among the ammonium ions. At basic pH more compact particles are found, which further co‐assemble to generate either garland type (C8) or fractal‐aggregates (C6).     

Low molecular mass cationic gelators derived from deoxycholic acid: remarkable gelation of aqueous solvents

During the past decade, the study of molecular self-assembly and network formation from small molecule gelators has become one of the most active areas of supramolecular chemistry. A serendipitous discovery of the gelation of a cationic bile salt (4) led us to investigate the aggregation properties of this new class of cationic hydrogelators. This article summarizes the recent efforts on the study of side chain structure-aggregation property relationship of cationic bile salts. Bile acid analogs with a quaternary ammonium group on the side chain were found to efficiently gel aqueous salt solutions. Some of the cationic bile salts gelled water alone and many of them gelled aqueous salt solutions even in the presence of organic co-solvents (≤20%) such as ethanol, methanol, DMSO, and DMF. These gels showed interconnected fibrous networks. Unlike natural anionic bile salt gels (reported for NaDC and NaLC), the cationic gels reported here are pH independent. Cationic gels derived from DCA showed more solid-like rheological response compared to natural NaDC gels studied earlier by Tato et al.
