Abstract: | The rough-form lipopolysaccharide (LPS) interacted with cationic antibiotic polymyxin B and gramicidin S in solution, and
showed altered thermotropic phase behavior and viscoelasticity. The phase behavior was measured by differential scanning calorimetry
and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Addition of polymyxin B of up to 0.5 mg/mL to the 5.0 mg/mL LPS solution increased
gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition enthalpy (ΔH) and raised the transition temperature (tmax). The further addition of polymyxin B reduced the ΔH value. Gramicidin S produced a different effect, whereby a minor addition
reduced tmax and ΔH value of the LPS. The LPS film on the platinum electrode of the QCM indicated a downward shift of resonant frequency
and an upward shift of resonant resistance when in contact with the antibiotic solution. An interpretation of these variations
is that the LPS on the QCM electrode changed not only film weight, but also viscoelasticity owing to contact with the antibiotic
solution. The different effects between the antibiotics between polymyxin B and gramicidin S on the LPS are induced by the
difference of the governing effect. Polymyxin B interacts with the LPS electrostatically, whereas gramicidin S interacts by
hydrophobic moieties. |
