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 fluidity in the presence of cholesterol. An evidence of phase separation has also been observed. The decrease in membrane fluidity supports the hypothesis that celecoxib may induce changes in the activity of membrane bound enzymes through modulating physical properties of the membrane thereby contributing to its anticancer activity. A possible change in the location of celecoxib in DSPC membranes when cholesterol is present has also been proposed. These results clarify, to a certain extent, the molecular interactions of celecoxib with membrane systems and may additionally contribute to a better understanding of COX-2 independent mechanisms of celecoxib action.

In order to understand the conformational changes of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), which is a food quality related enzyme, after thermal treatment, secondary structure changes of the enzyme were analyzed by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and compared with the change in enzyme activity in the temperature range of 25-80 degrees C. Fourier self-deconvolution, neural network (NN) and curve-fitting analysis were applied to the amide I band of FTIR spectra for detail analysis of secondary struct...

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....

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 concentratio...
Effect of gramicidin S on the dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-glycerol thermotropic phase transition in DPPG/GS systems: A mathematical approach
Stan, Cristina; Cristescu, C. P.; Severcan, Feride; Dorohoi, Dana (Informa UK Limited, 2006-01-01)
We present a mathematical approach to the experimental data recorded via Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy regarding the influence of the concentration of the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S (GS) on the thermotropic phase transition of the dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-glycerol (DPPG) lipid bilayer membrane in DPPG/GS systems. The model is based on the influence of the GS concentration on the parameters of a nonlinear damped oscillator, which models the CH2 symmetric stretching band.
