This method improves the biodistribution of the drug and reduces toxicity. However, the structural stability of LDE particles, without or with associated drugs, has not been extensively investigated. The aim of the present study is to investigate the structural stability of LDE and LDE associated to paclitaxel, etoposide or methotrexate in aqueous solution over time by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and Ultra SAXS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results show that LDE and LDE associated with those chemotherapeutic agents had reproducible and stable particle diameter, physical structure, and aggregation behavior over 3-month observation period. As estimated from both DLS and Ultra-SAXS methods, performed at pre-established intervals, the average particle diameter of LDE alone was approx. 32 nm, of LDE-paclitaxel was 31 nm, of LDE-methotrexate was 35 nm and of LDE-etoposide was 36 nm. Ultra-SAXS analysis showed that LDE nanoparticles were quasi-spherical, and SAXS showed that drug molecules inside the particles showed a layered-like organization. Formulations of LDE with associated PTX, ETO or MTX were successfully tested in animal experiments and in patients with cancer or with cardiovascular disease, showing markedly low toxicity, good tolerability and possible superior pharmacological action. Our results may be useful for ensuing clinical trials of this novel Nanomedicine tool, by strengthening the knowledge of the structural aspects of those LDE formulations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":275,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry and Physics of Lipids","volume":"263 ","pages":"Article 105418"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141464797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, it has also been used to treat Parkinson’s disease-related dyskinesia and is being considered as a treatment for corona viruses. Since amantadine usually targets membrane-bound proteins, its interactions with the membrane are also thought to be important. Biological membranes are now widely understood to be laterally heterogeneous and certain proteins are known to preferentially co-localize within specific lipid domains. Does amantadine, therefore, preferentially localize in certain lipid composition domains? To address this question, we studied amantadine’s interactions with phase separating membranes composed of cholesterol, DSPC (1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine), and DOPC (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), as well as single-phase DPhPC (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phos-phocholine) membranes. From Langmuir trough and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, we determined, respectively, that amantadine preferentially binds to disordered lipids, such as POPC, and lowers the phase transition temperature of POPC/DSPC/cholesterol mixtures, implying that amantadine increases membrane disorder. Further, using droplet interface bilayers (DIBs), we observed that amantadine disrupts DPhPC membranes, consistent with its disordering properties. Finally, we carried out molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on POPC/DSPC/cholesterol membranes with varying amounts of amantadine. Consistent with experiment, MD simulations showed that amantadine prefers to associate with disordered POPC-rich domains, domain boundaries, and lipid glycerol backbones. Since different proteins co-localize with different lipid domains, our results have possible implications as to which classes of proteins may be better targets for amantadine.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":275,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry and Physics of Lipids","volume":"262 ","pages":"Article 105397"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140915426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phospholipid used was 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-<em>sn</em>-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), which is abundantly found in mammalian biomembranes, and 7β-hydroxycholesterol, which is highly cytotoxic, was used as the oxysterol.
