โœฆ Synopsis

The photoinduced interaction of thionine dye with phosphatidylcholine (PC) (and its components, e.g. lysoPC, phosphorylcholine and choline) and oxidized cholesterol was studied in artificial membranes using spectrophotometric and photoelectrochemical methods. The results show that the dye (electron acceptor) in its singlet excited state forms 1:1 electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes with the lipids (electron donor). The electrode kinetics of the photoinduced redox reactions in the cell were also studied to confirm the mechanism of photoinduced interaction between the dye and the lipid.

As reported earlier, the marine sponge phospholipids 1,2-di-5,9-hexacosadienoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PC (26 : 2, 26 : 2)) and its phosphoethanolamine counterpart exclude cholesterol to a great extent from their liposomal bilayers. To understand the reason for this exclusion, shorter acyl cha

Liposomes can be used as carriers of drugs in the treatment of viral, bacterial and protozoal infections. The potential for liposome-mediated therapy of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex infections, one of the most common opportunistic infections in AIDS, is currently under study. Here, we
