Effect of amphotericin B on membranes: a spin probe study.

Abstract:

:The effect of the polyene antibiotic amphotericin B on the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of lipid probes intercalated in model membranes was examined. When the antibiotic was added to the aqueous phase, no spectral effects occurred. However, when the antibiotic was incorporated during membrane preparation, changes in spectral parameters suggested the appearance of a new phase. The spectral changes do not necessarily corroborate the pore models proposed previously for amphotericin B in membranes. With a spin probe that partitions between water and membrane, an interaction between the amphotericin B and probe is observed. This interaction does not occur in the membrane, but in the aqueous phase, between the probe and the aggregated antibiotic. Some of the equilibria involving the antibiotic appear to be achieved slowly.
