Title: Significant bile salt induced perturbation of niosome membrane: A molecular level interaction study using 1-Naphthol fluorescence. Author: Mishra J, Mishra AK. Journal: Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces; 2020 Jan 01; 185():110594. PubMed ID: 31715455. Abstract: This study demonstrates that significant perturbation of tween20:cholesterol(1:1) niosome membrane takes place even at premicellar concentration of bile salts. Here, 1-naphthol (1-NpOH), a known and sensitive excited state proton transfer (ESPT) probe, was used to understand the nature of perturbation of the membrane in an unbuffered medium. The significant decrease in 1-NpOH fluorescence intensity in niosome-bile salt mixed system at both lower (10 °C) and higher (50 °C) temperatures indicates the bile salts [sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC)] induce perturbation of niosome membranes. Variations in the fluorescence lifetime values of both the prototropic emissions (neutral and anionic species) along with the proton transfer rate of 1-NpOH confirm the bile salts perturb up to the hydrophobic core domain of the niosomal membranes. Bile salts induce size change of the niosomal membrane is confirmed through dynamic light scattering study.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
