Transport of macrocyclic compounds across phospholipid bilayers by umbrella-rotaxanes.
We report the synthesis and assembly of umbrella-rotaxanes with transmembrane transport properties. We describe their amphomorphism and validate their ability to penetrate and cross phospholipid bilayers. Furthermore we present the strategy to release the macrocyclic compound by enzymatic cleavage inside egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) liposomes.
متن کاملFacilitated Chloride Transport Across Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers by an Acyclic Calixarene Derivative: Structure- Function Relationships
As the field of anion transport develops, it becomes increasingly important to understand mechanistic and structure-function relationships for those synthetic compounds that facilitate transmembrane anion transport. We define some key structural aspects that control the Cl anion transport function of an acyclic calixarene analog, triamide 2.We find that the secondary amide NH groups are necessa...
متن کاملChloride transport across lipid bilayers and transmembrane potential induction by an oligophenoxyacetamide.
This contribution describes the discovery and properties of a synthetic, low-molecular weight compound that transports Cl- across bilayer membranes. Such compounds have potential as therapeutics for cystic fibrosis and cancer. The H+/Cl- co-transport activities of acyclic tetrabutylamides 1-6 were compared by using a pH-stat assay with synthetic EYPC liposomes. The ion transport activity of the...
متن کاملIon transport across transmembrane pores.
To study the pore-mediated transport of ionic species across a lipid membrane, a series of molecular dynamics simulations have been performed of a dipalmitoyl-phosphatidyl-choline bilayer containing a preformed water pore in the presence of sodium and chloride ions. It is found that the stability of the transient water pores is greatly reduced in the presence of the ions. Specifically, the bind...
متن کاملOptical detection of ion-channel-induced proton transport in supported phospholipid bilayers.
The integration of ion-channel transport functions with responses derived from nanostructured and nanoporous silica mesophase materials is demonstrated. Patterned thin-film mesophases consisting of alternating hydrophilic nanoporous regions and hydrophobic nanostructured regions allow for spatially localized proton transport via selective dimerization of gramicidin in lipid bilayers formed on t...
