Investigation of interfacial behavior of glycyrrhizin with a lipid raft model via a Langmuir monolayer study.

ABSTRACT: An interaction of glycyrrhizin (GC) with a lipid raft biomembrane model that consisted of N-palmitoyl-d-erythro-sphingosylphosphorylcholine (PSM), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), and cholesterol (CHOL) was systematically studied using the Langmuir monolayer technique. To construct the lipid raft model, the surface pressure (?)-molecular area (A) and surface potential (?V)-A isotherms for three-component (PSM/DOPC/CHOL) systems on 0.02M Tris buffer with 0.13M NaCl (pH7.4) were primarily measured by changing their compositions. Thermodynamic and interaction parameters for binary PSM/DOPC and PSM/CHOL systems revealed that PSM interacts more strongly with CHOL than with DOPC. In addition, a morphological analysis performed with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and fluorescence microscopy (FM) revealed an optimal ratio of PSM/DOPC/CHOL (1/1/1, by mole) as a model of lipid rafts. Second, the interaction of GC with the ternary PSM/DOPC/CHOL monolayers was investigated on Tris buffer solutions containing different GC concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, and 50?M). In BAM and FM images, microdomains were found to become smaller by increasing the GC concentration in the subphase, suggesting that GC regulates the size of raft domains, which provide dynamic scaffolding for numerous cellular processes. More interestingly, the distinctive GC striped regions were formed at the interface at 50?M, which shows that GC divides the ternary monolayer into pieces. This phenomenon was observed only in the presence of CHOL in the monolayer. These results suggest that CHOL plays an essential role in the interaction with GC, which results in one of the major activities associated with saponins' membrane disruption.

Project description:Heavy oil and bitumen play a vital role in the global energy supply, and to unlock such resources, thermal methods, e.g., steam injection, are applied. To improve the performance of these methods, different additives, such as air, solvents, and chemicals, can be used. As a subset of chemicals, surfactants are one of the potential additives for steam-based bitumen recovery methods. Molecular interactions between surfactant/steam/bitumen have not been addressed in the literature. This paper investigates molecular interactions between anionic surfactants, steam, and bitumen in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. For this purpose, a real Athabasca oil sand composition is employed to assess the phase behavior of surfactant/steam/bitumen under in-situ steam-based bitumen recovery. Two different asphaltene architectures, archipelago and Island, are used to examine the effect of asphaltene type on bitumen's interfacial behavior. The influence of having sulfur heteroatoms in a resin structure and a benzene ring's effect in an anionic surfactant structure on surfactant-steam-bitumen interactions are investigated systematically. The outputs are supported by different analyses, including radial distribution functions (RDFs), mean squared displacement (MSD), radius of gyration, self-diffusion coefficient, solvent accessible surface area (SASA), interfacial thickness, and interaction energies. According to MD outputs, adding surfactant molecules to the steam phase improved the interaction energy between steam and bitumen. Moreover, surfactants can significantly improve steam emulsification capability by decreasing the interfacial tension (IFT) between bitumen and the steam phase. Asphaltene architecture has a considerable effect on the interfacial behavior in such systems. This study provides a better and more in-depth understanding of surfactant-steam-bitumen systems and spotlights the interactions between bitumen fractions and surfactant molecules under thermal recovery conditions.
