The liquid crystal morphologies of symmetrical diacy phosphatidylcholine liposomes examined in this research study were found to be dependent on saturated hydrocarbon chain length. Both powder X-ray diffraction and synchrotron mid-IR spectromicroscopy indicate that phosphatidylcholines with short hydrocarbon tails (i.e. ten and twelve carbons) are more likely to form unilamellar liposomes while those with long hydrocarbon tails (i.e. eighteen and twenty carbons) are more likely to form multilamellar liposomes. Hydrocarbon chain lengths of fourteen and sixteen represent a transitional zone between these two liquid crystal morphologies. The FTIR spectra where a shoulder develops on the peak at wavenumber 1750 cm(-1) particularly highlights the change in the packing of adjacent molecules in the transitional zone. 相似文献

Analysis of fatty acids from human lipids by gas chromatography 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A rapid, quantitative method is described for the analysis of fatty acids from human lipids, namely serum lipids and lipids from adipose tissue biopsies. The method includes extraction of serum lipids with chloroform--methanol, hydrolysis with tetramethylammonium hydroxide, methylation with methyl iodide and N,N-dimethylformamide and gas chromatographic analysis on a Supelcoport SP-2320 column. Fat biopsies are analysed without extraction. Optimal hydrolysis conditions have been investigated. 相似文献

DNA-bound lipids: computer modeling of DNA interaction with stearic acid and unsaturated fatty acids
Zhdanov R. I. Dyachkov E. P. Struchkov V. A. Strazhevskaya N. B. Dyachkov P. N. 《Russian Chemical Bulletin》2003,52(9):1893-1899
It was shown for the first time by computer experiments that fatty acids are strongly bound to DNA. This is consistent with the presence of free fatty acids in the specimens of DNA-bound lipids isolated from various cells. Binding of all fatty acids to the DNA minor groove is stronger than to the major groove, which is correlated with the presence of two pools of free fatty acids isolated from DNA specimens by biochemical methods. Since DNA polymerase is also bound to the DNA minor groove, fatty acids can play an important role in the regulation mechanism of DNA replication and signal transmission. The energy of interaction of fatty acids with DNA depends on both the number of double bonds and the geometric configuration of the fatty acid and the nucleotide composition of DNA. Dependence on the bond energy in the DNA—fatty acid complex on the nucleotide composition attests to the possibility of site-specific binding of lipids to DNA. On passing from a saturated fatty acid to unsaturated acids containing one, two, or three double trans-bonds, the bond energy of DNA with the fatty acid gradually decreases. The presence of one or three double cis-bonds results in weakening of the strength of the DNA—fatty acid complexes compared to those with the saturated acid. The strongest binding between DNA and fatty acid was found for the unsaturated acid with two double cis-bonds (linoleic). This can be explained by the fact that the bent (boomerang) shape of the molecule of this acid follows the curve of the DNA helix. The pattern of variation of the energy of DNA complexes with stearic, linoleic, oleic, and linolenic acids correlates with experimental data on the melting points of these complexes: the more stable the DNA—fatty acid complex, the lower the melting point of DNA. 相似文献

Interactions of surfactants with hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions are important in several applications such as detergency, cosmetics, food, and paints. Complexes formed in these systems raise some fundamental questions about the polymer-surfactant interactions that control their behavior. In this work, the interactions of a nonionic surfactant, penta-ethyleneglycol mono n-dodecyl ether (C(12)EO(5)), with a hydrophobically modified anionic polymer, poly(maleic acid/octyl vinyl ether) (PMAOVE), in aqueous solutions were studied using surface tension, viscosity, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, light scattering, and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. When the nonionic surfactant C(12)EO(5) was added to aqueous solutions of the anionic polymer PMAOVE, it was incorporated into the hydrophobic nanodomains of PMAOVE far below the the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the surfactant. Two inflection points were observed corresponding to the critical complexation concentration (formation of mixed micelles composed of C(12)EO(5) and the octyl chains of PMAOVE) and the saturation concentration (saturation of the polymer with C(12)EO(5) molecules). Above the saturation concentration, the coexistence of pure C(12)EO(5) micelles and mixed micelles of PMAOVE and C(12)EO(5) was observed. Such a coexistence of complexes has major implications in their performance in colloidal processes. 相似文献

Aqueous solutions containing poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and sodium caprylate (SCAP) or tetraethylammonium perfluorooctanesulfonate
have been investigated as a function of the surfactant content, the added polymer, temperature and ionic strength. According
to experimental evidence, significant interactions have been observed in both systems, with the occurrence of both critical
association and micelle formation thresholds. Volumetric, viscometric, ionic conductivity and surface tension methods have
been used to quantify the interactions between surfactants and the polymer in ternary systems containing PVP and SCAP or the
polymer and the fluorinated surfactant. In both cases, the width of the interaction region is proportional to the PVP content
in the mixture. Temperature and ionic strength have a relevant effect on the width of the interaction region, which decreases
on increasing the temperature. Binding onto PVP and micelle formation were analyzed in terms of a mass-action model. In this
way, the observed behavior was rationalized and information on the thermodynamics of such mixtures was given.

Using Brownian dynamics simulations, we study the effect of the charge ratio, the surfactant length, and the grafting density
on the conformational behavior of the complex formed by the polyelectrolyte brush with oppositely charged surfactants. In
our simulations, the polyelectrolyte chains and surfactants are represented by a coarse-grained bead-spring model, and the
solvent is treated implicitly. It is found that varying the charge ratio induces different morphologies of surfactant aggregates
adsorbed onto the brush. At high charge ratios, the density profiles of surfactant monomers indicate that surfactant aggregates
exhibit a layer-by-layer arrangement. The surfactant length has a strong effect on the adsorption behavior of surfactants.
The lengthening of surfactant leads to a collapsed brush configuration, but a reswelling of the brush with further increasing
the surfactant length is observed. The collapse of the brush is attributed to the enhancement of surfactants binding to polyelectrolyte
chains. The reswelling is due to an increase in the volume of adsorbed surfactant aggregates. At the largest grafting density
investigated, enhanced excluded volume interactions limit the adsorption of surfactant within the polyelectrolyte brush. We
also find that end monomers in polyelectrolyte chains exhibit a bimodal distribution in cases of large surfactant lengths
and high charge ratios. 相似文献

The solubilizing action of micellar, microemulsion, and polymer-colloid systems formed on the basis of biologically compatible
amphiphilic polymers and nonionic surfactants on capric, lauric, palmitic, and stearic acids was characterized quantitatively.
Systems based on micelle forming oxyethyl compounds increased the solubility of fatty acids by more than an order of magnitude.
Acid molecules incorporated into micelles increased their size and caused structural changes. Solubilization was accompanied
by complete or partial destruction of intrinsic acid associates and an increase in their pK
a by 1.5–2 units compared with water. 相似文献

The interactions of two partially charged ampholytic terpolymers [consisting of acrylamide, sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonate,
and 2-(methacryloyloxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride segments with molar compositions 80/12/08 and 80/08/12] and two fully
charged ampholytic copolymers (containing only the two latter comonomers with molar compositions of 80/20 and 50/50), with
cationic surfactants [tetradecyl- trimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)] and the anionic
surfactant sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), are investigated. The studies include phase behaviour (swelling, solubilisation,
precipitation), viscometry, electrical conductivity, and potentiometry (bromide ion and surfactant ion-specific electrodes).
The 80/08/12 and 80/12/08 polyampholytes swell in water and are solubilised in the presence of cationic or anionic surfactants
above a particular surfactant concentration that is proportional to the polymer concentration. The polyampolyte 80/20 is soluble
in water but precipitates in the presence of TTAB, whereas 50/50 is insoluble in water and in the presence of TTAB, but is
solubilised upon addition of SDS. The results indicate that TTAB binds to 80/12/08 with little or no cooperativity. Solubilisation
appears to be the result of the increasing polyelectrolyte character of the polyampholyte upon neutralisation of its charged
sites by bound surfactant ions of opposite charge. The binding of TTAB by the 50/50 polyampholyte is very weak and non-cooperative.
In contrast, 80/20 binds TTAB cooperatively, much like a true polyelectrolyte-surfactant system of opposing charges. In particular,
the binding is characterised by the existence of a critical aggregation concentration. A partial phase diagram for this system
has been determined from the TTA+-electrode potential data. The behaviour of true polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes, with respect to their interaction with
surfactants, is discussed.

PEG-12-acyloxystearates constitute a novel class of pharmaceutical solubilizers and are synthesized from polyethylene glycol and 12-hydroxystearic acid, which has been esterified with a second acyl chain. The hemolytic activity of these surfactants decreases drastically with increasing pendant acyloxy chain length, and surfactants with an acyloxy chain of 14 carbon atoms or more are essentially nonhemolytic. In this paper, the interactions of PEG-12-acyloxystearates (acyloxy chain lengths ranging from 8 to 16 carbon atoms) with phosphatidylcholine vesicles, used as a model system for erythrocyte membranes, were studied in search of an explanation for the large variations in hemolytic activity. Surfactant-induced alterations of membrane permeability were investigated by studying the leakage of vesicle-entrapped calcein. It was found that all of the surfactants within the series interact with the vesicle membranes and cause slow leakage at elevated surfactant concentrations, but with large variations in leakage kinetics. The initial leakage rate decreases rapidly with increasing pendant acyloxy chain length. After prolonged incubation, on the other hand, the leakage is not a simple function of acyloxy chain length. The effect of the surfactants on membrane integrity was also investigated by turbidity measurements and cryo-transmission electron microscopy. At a surfactant/lipid molar ratio of 0.4, the vesicle membranes are saturated with surfactant. When the surfactant/lipid molar ratio is further increased, the vesicle membranes are progressively solubilized into mixed micelles. The rate of this process decreases strongly with increasing acyloxy chain length. When comparing the results of the different experiments, it can be concluded that there is no membrane permeabilization below saturation of the vesicle membranes. The large variations in the kinetics suggest that several steps are involved in the mechanism of leakage induced by PEG-12-acyloxystearates and that their relative rates vary with acyloxy chain length. The slow kinetics may in part be explained by the low critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) exhibited by the surfactants. The CMCs were found to be in the range of 0.003-0.025 microM. 相似文献

The surface tensions and the phase equilibria of dilute aqueous cationic starch (CS)/surfactant systems were investigated. The degree of substitution of the CS varied from 0.014 to 0.772. The surfactants investigated were sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), potassium octanoate (KOct), potassium dodecanoate (KDod) and sodium oleate (NaOl). The concentrations of CS were 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 w%.Critical association concentrations (cac) occur at surfactant concentrations well below the critical micelle concentrations of the surfactants, except for KOct, KDod and NaOl at the lowest CS concentrations investigated (0.001 w%). The surface tensions of CS/surfactant solutions decrease strongly already below the cac. This is attributed to the formation of surface active associates by ion condensation. Associative phase separation of gels formed by CS and surfactant takes place at extremely low concentrations when the surfactant/polymer charge ratio is somewhat larger than 1. The gel is higly viscous and contains 40–60% water, depending on the concentration of electrolyte, the surfactant hydrocarbon chain length and the nature of the polar head of the surfactant.The concentration at which the phase separation occurs decreases with increasing surfactant chain length and the concentration of simple electrolyte, factors that promote micelle formation. This indicates that the gels are formed by association of CS to surfactant micelles. When surfactant well in excess of charge equivalence is added, the gels dissolve because the CS/surfactant complexes acquire a high charge. 相似文献

Summary This report describes a modified method for the separation and analysis of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as 20:4, 20:5,
and 22:6, using HPLC. The results show that these fatty acids are well separated from the saturated acids. Since the unsaturated
fatty acids elute earlier than saturated acids, and this method does not require the fractionation of free fatty acids using
thin layer chromatography, a necessary step for the gas chromatographic analysis, the recoveries of polyunsaturated fatty
acids were significantly higher as compared to those from gas chromatography. Furthermore, HPLC and gas chromatographic methods
gave identical results for the acyl chain composition of phosphatidylserine. The advantages of using HPLC over gas chromatography
in determining the acyl chain composition of free fatty acids and phospholipids are also discussed. 相似文献

The partitioning of all-trans retinaldehyde (retinal) between benzene and decyldimethylammonio propanesulfonate (DeDAPS) aqueous solutions was investigated by spectrophotometric methods, when determination of colligative properties allowed to obtain the surfactant partitioning between the two phases.The stripping capacity of the surfactant was found to be higher in molecular than in micellar form. This unexpected feature was interpreted in terms of sterical hindrance and rigidity of the retinal polyene group. 相似文献

The interaction of a hydrophobically modified anionic polymer (PMAOVE) with a cationic surfactant (DTAB) was studied using a multi-technique approach: turbidity, surface tension, and viscosity measurements, as well as EPR (5-doxyl stearic acid) and fluorescence (pyrene) probe techniques were used. In the investigated pH range (4-10), the cationic surfactant headgroups interact with the anionic carboxylic groups of the polymer backbone. In addition, nonpolar interactions of the surfactant chains with the n-octyl chains of PMAOVE stabilize the PMAOVE-DTAB complexes. Charge neutralization of the anionic polymer by the cationic surfactant leads to precipitation of the PMAOVE-DTAB complex at a certain DTAB concentration range. Further addition of DTAB causes a charge reversal of the complex and, subsequently, resolubilization of the precipitate. At an acidic pH (pH = 4), a second precipitation was observed, which is probably caused by conformational changes in the PMAOVE-DTAB complex. This second precipitate can be resolubilized by further addition of surfactant. At a neutral and basic pH, this second precipitation is absent. EPR analysis indicates that the surfactants form an ordered structure at the extended polymer chain at a neutral and basic pH, whereas at an acidic pH, a less ordered surfactant layer is formed on the coiled polymer with more hydrophobic microdomains. 相似文献

We have studied the micellar properties of the surfactant and also the polymer conformation in a mixture of sodium dodecyl sulphate or dodecylbenzene sulphonate and partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide. The results are interpreted in terms of electrostatic interactions and by taking into account the site binding of the counter-ions either on the polyions or onto the micelles. 相似文献

A method was developed for the determination of the major storage lipids, wax ester and triglycerides, in the copepod Calanus finmarchicus. A variation of the Folch method was used to extract the lipid. The method was scaled down to enable the extraction of either pooled (-1 mg) or individual (approximately 200 microg) copepods. The major lipid classes were identified using TLC and quantified using HPLC coupled with evaporative light scattering detection. Analysis of laboratory reference materials indicated that this method underestimated the minor triglyceride component, but gave a good estimate of the major wax ester component. The fatty acid and fatty alcohol composition of the C. finmarchicus were determined following trans-esterification of the lipid extract in methanol. Fatty acids and fatty alcohols were initially identified by comparison with authentic standard and by mass spectroscopy. Using GC with flame ionisation detection the normalised area percentage of the fatty alcohols and fatty acid methyl esters was determined simultaneously in one run for either pooled or individual copepod samples. These methods were applied to C. finmarchicus collected from the Irminger Sea, North Atlantic in 2001 and 2002. 相似文献

A review is presented compiling new data on liquid-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons and plant oils in microheterogeneous environment formed by the addition of surfactants. Cationic surfactants catalyze the decomposition of the primary oxidation products, hydroperoxides, into free radicals thus accelerating the oxidation process. Anionic surfactants catalyze the heterolystic decomposition of hydroperoxides and therefore are excellent antioxidants for ethylbenzene, cumene, and other alkylaromatic hydrocarbons. 相似文献
