Interactions of progesterone with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphotidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) were investigated as a function of temperature and progesterone concentration by using three non-invasive techniques of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, turbidity at 440 nm and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).The results show that lmol% of progesterone does not induce a significant change in the shape of thermotropic profile of DPPC. However as progesterone concentration increases, the main transition temperature decreases and phase transition curve broadens. Higher concentrations (12, 18 and 24mol%) also decreased the transition temperature but not as significantly as lower concentrations. The characteristic pretransition of DPPC was completely disappeared upon the addition of progesterone. Progesterone disorders the phospholipid membranes in a concentration dependent manner. Furthermore, low concentrations of progesterone (3, 6 and 9mol%) increase the fluidity of the system but high concentrations (12, 18 and 24mol%) stabilize the membranes by decreasing the mobility of the acyl chains. The opposite effect of progesterone on membrane dynamics of low and high concentrations was also supported by turbidity studies at 440 nm. DSC peaks broaden and shift to lower temperature degrees with increasing concentrations up to 9mol% of progesterone. At 6 and 12mol% of progesterone, the curve contains more than one peak. This indicates the existence of phase separation. The pretransition of liposomes was eliminated for all samples containing progesterone. Analysis of C=0 stretching bond in FTIR spectroscopy showed that progesterone does not make any hydrogen bonds with the interfacial region of DPPC liposomes, instead it induces free carbonyl groups in the system. Ester groups were found to be disordered by the addition of progesterone and the effect is profound with 6 and 9mol% concentrations.The head group of liposomes were found to make hydrogen bonding in the vicinity of 3mol% of progesterone in both phases and of 6mol% of progesterone in liquid crystalline phase by infrared spectroscopy of PO_2 stretching mode. This hydrogen bonding is made either with the hydroxyl group of progesterone or with the water molecules around the head group. With other concentrations of progesterone, there is no evidence of hydrogen bond formation.

Concentration dependent different action of progesterone on the order, dynamics and hydration states of the head group of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine membrane
Korkmaz, Filiz; Kirbiyik, Halil; Severcan, Feride (Hindawi Limited, 2005)
Interactions of progesterone with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) were investigated as a function of progesterone concentration at selected temperatures monitoring both the gel and liquid crystalline phase, by using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It has been show that the effect of progesterone on membrane dynamics is dependent on progesterone concentration. At 1 mol%, which is close to physiological level, progesterone behaves differently....
Effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib on cholesterol containing distearoyl phosphatidylcholine membranes
Sade, Asli; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Severcan, Feride (2011-01-01)
The effects of different concentrations of celecoxib on the acyl chain order, dynamics and the hydration status of the head group and interfacial region of model membranes containing DSPC and cholesterol were investigated in detail using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Our results reveal that regardless of the presence of cholesterol, celecoxib is able to alter the physical properties of membranes. It exerts opposing effects on membrane order at high and low concentrations and decreases membrane fl...
Oestrogen phospholipid membrane interactions: An FTIR study
Boyar, H; Severcan, Feride (1997-06-01)
Interactions of 17 beta-oestradiol (E2) with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as a function of temperature. The investigation of the C-H stretching region and the C=0 mode reveals that E2 changes the physical properties of the DPPC bilayers by decreasing the main phase transition temperature, diminishing the pretransition, slightly disordering the system in the gel and in the liquid crystalline phase, increasin...
Effect of progesterone on DPPC membrane: Evidence for lateral phase separation and inverse action in lipid dynamics
Korkmaz, F; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-15)
Interactions of progesterone with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) triultilamellar liposomes were investigated as a function of temperature and progesterone concentration by using three non-invasive techniques namely Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, turbidity at 440 nm, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results reveal that progesterone changes the physical properties of DPPC bilayers by decreasing the main phase-transition temperature, abolishing the pre-transition, broad...
Interactions of tamoxifen with distearoyl phosphatidylcholine multilamellar vesicles: FTIR and DSC studies
Bilge, Duygu; ŞAHİN, İPEK; KAZANCI, NADİDE; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-15)
Interactions of a non-steroidal antiestrogen drug, tamoxifen (TAM), with distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DSPC) multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) were investigated as a function of drug concentration (1-15 mol%) by using two noninvasive techniques, namely Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). FTIR spectroscopy results show that increasing TAM concentrations (except 1 mol%) increased the wavenumbers of the CH2 stretching modes, implying an disord...
