The aim of this study was to investigate membrane interactions of phloretin and 6-ketocholestanol using different methods. A previously reported colorimetric assay with phospholipid/polydiacetylene (PDA) vesicles was used to examine a possible interaction of phloretin and 6-ketocholestanol with this target.

As a result of the interfacial chemical heterogenity, membrane-penetrating peptides will experience a dramatic variation in environmental polarity manifested via electrical interactions with the surface and dipole potential of membranes prone to modulate the membrane insertion and folding of different

In this study the effect of phloretin (PH) and 6-ketocholestanol (KC) on the permeation of progesterone through porcine skin has been examined. Both PH and KC were incorporated into unilamellar L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes at different concentrations (7.5, 15, 30 and

Membrane microdomains, such as caveolae and rafts, are enriched in cholesterol and sphingomyelin, display liquid-ordered phase properties, and putatively function as protein organizing platforms. The goal of this investigation was to identify sterol and sphingomyelin structural features that modulate surface

Nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (NBD) group is a widely used, environment-sensitive fluorescent probe. The negatively charged dithionite rapidly reduces the accessible NBD-labeled lipids in liposomes to their corresponding nonfluorescent derivatives. In this study both the phospholipid headgroup and acyl chain NBD-labeled L-alpha-1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-[N-(4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)-ethanolamine] (DPPN)
