To get insight into the mechanism of action of this formulation the lipid Langmuir monolayers imitating <em>Escherichia coli</em> (<em>E. coli</em>) and <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> (<em>S. aureus</em>) membranes were prepared. Then, the influence of Leucidal on model systems was investigated by means of the surface pressure/area measurements, penetration studies and Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM) visualization. Similar experiments were done also for one component monolayers formed from the model membrane lipids. The in vitro tests were done on five different bacteria species (<em>E. coli, Enterococcus faecalis, S. aureus, Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>). Leucidal was found to decrease packing of the monolayers, however, it was excluded from the films at higher concentrations. Model membrane experiments evidenced also a stronger affinity of the components of this eco-preservative to <em>E. coli</em> vs <em>S. aureus</em> membrane. Among one component films, those formed from phosphatidylglycerols and cardiolipins were more sensitive to the presence of Leucidal. However, in vitro tests evidenced that Leucidal exerts stronger inhibitory effect against <em>S. aureus</em> bacteria as compared to <em>E. coli</em> strain. These findings were discussed from the point of view of the role of Leucidal components and the lipid membrane properties in the membrane - based mechanism of action of this preservative. The results allow one to suggest that the membrane may not be the main site of action of Leucidal on bacteria. Moreover, since high concentration of the tested preparation exerted antibacterial activity in relation to all tested bacteria, a low selectivity of Leucidal can be postulated, which may be problematic from the point of view of its effect on the skin microbiome.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":275,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry and Physics of Lipids","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 105338"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0009308423000609/pdfft?md5=baed64a17ac71d98e0ded7f957fbc620&pid=1-s2.0-S0009308423000609-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10272437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only TX-100 and OG were able to completely solubilize the POPC vesicles, whereas the biomimetic ternary mixture was partially insoluble in all detergents tested.

Combination of ITC data with turbidity results showed that TX-100 and OG can be incorporated up to almost 0.3 detergent/lipid, significantly more than Brij 98 and DDM.
