Transport characteristics of a beta sheet breaker peptide across excised bovine nasal mucosa.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the permeation characteristics of the beta sheet breaker peptide AS 602704 (BSB) on excised bovine nasal mucosa using an Ussing chamber model. The influence of various absorption enhancers such as sodium cholate, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cetrimidum, sodium caprate, Na(2)EDTA, polycarbophil (PCP), the thiomer conjugate polycarbophil-cysteine (PCP-Cys), and poly-l-arginine (poly-l-arg; 100 kDa) was evaluated. Additionally, the influence of temperature and pH on the transport rate as well as the stability of the peptide drug against enzymatic degradation were investigated in vitro. The effective permeability coefficient (P(eff)) of BSB in Krebs-Ringer-buffer (KRB) pH 7.4 was (1.89 +/- 0.44)* 10-5, while in the presence of sodium caprate (0.5%) a P(eff) of (9.58 +/- 1.82)*10-5 was achieved. Rank order of enhancement ratio was sodium caprate > SDS > sodium cholate > Na(2)EDTA > poly-L-arg = PCP-Cys. In case of cetrimidum and PCP even a decrease in the absorption of BSB was determined. Na2EDTA reduced the enzymatic degradation of BSB when exposed to a nasal tissue homogenate by more than the half. An increased lipophilicity of BSB because of a more acidic milieu (pH 5.5) did not lead to an increased transcellular transport. Permeation studies carried out at 4 degrees C compared to 37 degrees C demonstrated a temperature dependent permeation behaviour suggesting an additional active carrier mediated transport. The results obtained within these studies should facilitate the development of a nasal delivery system for AS 602704 for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Bile production in fasted and fed primates.

Previous experiments have suggested differences in the bile salt independent flow rate between monkeys and dogs, and in the ability of bile salt secretion to influence bile flow. The present study was performed to determine whether the availability of food could have influenced these results. Bile flow and bile salt secretion rates were studied in fasted and fed primates. In the fasting experiments, sodium cholate, sodium taurocholate, and monkey bile were infused into the duodenum; only sodium cholate was infused in the feeding experiments. The results showed that bile flow was linearly related to the bile salt secretion rate in both fasting and feeding animals. Bile salt independent flow is extremely variable during fasting and is increased and stabilized by feeding. These studies indicate that the differences found in previous experiments are probably attributable to variations in experimental design.

Noninvasive methods to determine the critical micelle concentration of some bile acid salts.

In this work the critical micelle concentrations (cmc) of four bile salts, sodium cholate, sodium glycocholate, sodium deoxycholate, and sodium glycodeoxycholate, are determined and presented. Three independent noninvasive methodologies (potentiometry, derivative spectrophotometry, and light scattering) were used for cmc determination, at 25 degrees C with ionic strength adjusted to 0.10 M with NaCl. Spectrophotometric and potentiometric studies of some bile salts were also executed at various ionic strength values, thus allowing the influence of the ionic strength on the cmc value of the bile salt to be assessed. A critical comparison of the cmc values obtained with data collected from the literature is presented. Furthermore, this work makes an evaluation of the conceptual bases of different methodologies commonly used for cmc determination, since variations in the results obtained can be related mainly to different intrinsic features of the methods used (such as sensitivity or the need to include tracers or probes) or to the operational cmc definition applied. The undoubted definition of the experimental bile salt concentration that corresponds to cmc (operational cmc) is essential since in the case of these amphiphiles the formation of micelles is not as abrupt as in the case of ordinary association colloids. The biphasic nature of their aggregation leads to a "round-shaped" variation of the experimental parameters under analysis, which makes difficult the evaluation of the cmc values and can be responsible for the different results obtained.

Detergent-solubilized bovine cytochrome c oxidase: dimerization depends on the amphiphilic environment.

The extent to which bovine cytochrome c oxidase (COX) dimerizes in nondenaturing detergent environments was assessed by sedimentation velocity and equilibrium. In contrast to generally accepted opinion, the COX dimer is difficult to maintain and is the major oligomeric form only when COX is solubilized with a low concentration of dodecylmaltoside, i.e., approximately 1 mg/mg protein. The dimer form is intrinsically unstable and dissociates into monomers with increased detergent concentration, i.e., >5 mg/mg protein. The structure of the solubilizing detergent, however, greatly alters detergent effectiveness by inducing either monomerization or aggregation. Triton X-100 is most effective at solubilizing COX, but it destabilizes COX dimers, even at low concentration. Undecylmaltoside, decylmaltoside, and octaethyleneglycolmonododecyl ether (C(12)E(8)) are less effective at solubilizing COX. Each prevents COX aggregation at high detergent concentration, but also destabilizes the COX dimer. Other detergents, e.g., Tween 20, sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, CHAPS, or CHAPSO, are completely ineffective COX solubilizers and do not prevent aggregation even at 10-40 mg/mL. The transition from dimers to monomers depends on many factors other than detergent structure and concentration, e.g., protein concentration, phospholipid content and pH. We conclude that the intrinsic dimeric structure of COX can be maintained only after solubilization with low concentrations of dodecylmaltoside at near neutral pH, and even then precautions must be taken to prevent its dissociation into monomers.

Selective Solubilization of Membrane Proteins Differentially Labeled by p-Chloromercuribenzenesulfonic Acid in the Presence of Sucrose.

Broadbean (Vicia faba L.) leaf discs have been incubated with the slowly permeant thiol reagent [(203)Hg]-para-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS) in the presence or in the absence of sucrose, and the release of PCMBS-labeled proteins has been monitored in media containing various concentrations of urea, ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N, N, N', N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), sodium cholate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, Triton X-100, octylglucoside or (3-[3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio] 1-propane-sulfonate) (CHAPS). The proteins differentially labeled by PCMBS in the presence of sucrose which, on the basis of previous results, are assumed to include the sucrose carrier, were preferentially solubilized by 1% CHAPS, 1% octylglucoside, or 1% Triton X-100. Other PCMBS-labeled proteins (;background' proteins) could be partially removed by EGTA, urea, or 0.1% cholate. Sequential treatment by 10 mm EGTA and 1% CHAPS was found to give a fraction highly enriched in the differentially labeled proteins. Analysis of the specific activity of microsomal pellets suggests that the results obtained with leaf discs give a good account of what is occurring at the plasma membrane level. These data, which suggest that the proteins differentially labeled by PCMBS in the presence of sucrose are intrinsic membrane proteins, can be used to solubilize these proteins from microsomal fractions.

Role of fluidity of membranes on the guanyl nucleotide-dependent binding of cholecystokinin-8S to rat brain cortical membranes.

The binding of [3H]cholecystokinin octapeptide (sulphated) ([3H]CCK-8S), an agonist of the cholecystokinin receptors, to rat cortical membranes was fast, specific and saturable, with pH optimum at 6.5-7.0. The divalent cations Mg2+ and Ca2+ clearly enhanced [3H]CCK-8S binding, whereas the monovalent cations Na+ and K+ were inhibitors. Inactivation of the ligand binding ability of these membranes was dependent on the incubation temperature and corresponding tau1/2 values were 11 days at 4 degrees , 12 hr at 21 degrees , 154 min at 30 degrees and 51 min at 37 degrees , which revealed the apparent activation energy of this process to be 130+/-4 kJ/mol. Scatchard analysis of the saturation curves of [3H]CCK-8S binding was best described by a one site binding model with a Kd = 0.63+/-0.18 nM and a maximum binding of 32+/-2 fmol/mg protein. The stable GTP analogue guanosin-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS) decreased the affinity of [3H]CCK-8S binding only up to 2-fold without significant influence on maximal binding. Modulation of membrane properties by different detergents revealed that only in the case of digitonin (0.03-0.04%) did the GTP-dependence of [3H]CCK-8S binding considerably increase without significant influence on the ligand binding properties in the absence of GTPgammaS. Other detergents studied (sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, 3-(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), sucrose monolaurate, series Triton X and Tween) either had little influence on GTP-gammaS-dependence of [3H]CCK-8S binding or inactivated the receptor. Parallel studies of fluorescent polarization of diphenylhexatriene (DPH) in rat cortical membranes indicated that digitonin was the only detergent which at low concentrations caused a rapid increase in membrane fluidity and thereafter stabilized it at a certain level. Other detergents studied had only moderate influence on membrane fluidity (CHAPS, cholate, deoxycholate) or caused fast and continuous increase of membrane fluidity (Triton X-100, Tween 80). These data together point to the essential influence of the fluidity of membranes on the regulation of the interactions between G proteins and CCK receptors in rat cortical membranes. Under standard experimental conditions (temperature lower than 30 degrees), the CCK receptor-G protein complex is active for quantitative characterization of the receptors, but the membranes are too rigid for natural communication and regulation.

Solute-solvent interactions in micellar electrokinetic chromatography: IV. Characterization of electroosmotic flow and micellar markers.

A wide study of the compounds and procedures mostly used to determine the electroosmotic flow (EOF) and micelle elution times has been done in seven different micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) systems. These systems are formed from mixtures of an aqueous buffer with the surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate, lithium dodecyl sulfate, lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate, sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The solvation parameter model has been used to evaluate the usefulness of the compounds studied as EOF or micellar markers in each of the seven MEKC systems. It is demonstrated that methanol, acetonitrile and formamide are the best EOF markers, and that dodecanophenone is the best micellar marker.

The effect of bile acids on colonic myoelectrical activity.

The effect of different concentrations of sodium cholate, sodium chenodeoxycholate and sodium deoxycholate on colonic myoelectrical activity was studied in 4 dogs. There was no statistically significant difference in percentage motility, motility index, basal pressure or mean slow wave frequency with either cholic or chenodeoxycholic acid (5--15 mM). Deoxycholic acid (15 mM), however, caused a marked increase in percentage motility (median control value 4.1, range 0--23; after installation, median value 27--0, range 20.6--45.0, P less than 0.001). This was accompanied by an increase in spike activity, but no alteration in mean slow wave frequency or basal pressure was seen. Cholestyramine inhibited the motor response. It appears that only deoxycholic acid affects both motility and absorption, presumably by different pathways, and may thus assume importance in disorders of colonic motility.

Physicochemical Investigations on the Interaction of Surfactants and Salts with Polyvinylpyrrolidone in Aqueous Medium.

Microcalorimetric investigations have been carried out onthe interaction of the surfactants sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetyl(hexadecyl)trimethylammonium bromide, and p-tert-octylphenoxy polyoxy-ethylene ether (Triton X-100) and the salts potassium iodide, sodium benzoate, sodium bromide, and sodium salicylate with the neutral polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The enthalpy of dilution of the surfactants has been measured in the absence and presence of the polymer and the results are compared to determine the effect of PVP on the micellization of the surfactants and the energetics of the process. As well, the micellization activity of the surfactants in the presence of the polymer has been studied by conductometric and fluorimetric methods. The enthalpy of dilution of the salts has been measured to provide an understanding of the nature and magnitude of their interaction with PVP. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

The reaction of horseradish peroxidase with hydroperoxides derived from Triton X-100.

All of the commercially available Triton X-100 examined gave Compound I upon reaction with horseradish peroxidase, followed by its gradual transition into Compound II. Titration of horseradish peroxidase with Triton X-100 to form Compound I indicated that 1% (v/v) aqueous solutions of the detergent contained 0.4 to 3.2 microM equivalent peroxide but iodometric titration revealed 1.1 to 5.0 microM peroxide, suggesting the occurrence of different types of peroxides, reactive and unreactive with the peroxidase. The rate constant for Compound I formation was 1.5 X 10(7) M-1 S-1 at pH 7.4 at 25 degrees C, and for conversion into Compound II apparent first-order rate constants were 5.2 X 10(-3) to 1.7 X 10(-2) S-1. These results indicate that the Triton peroxides are as highly reactive as hydrogen peroxide. The amount of Triton peroxides increased as aqueous solutions of the detergent were allowed to stand, but the peroxides were destroyed by treatment with sodium borohydride. Although freshly prepared aqueous solutions of sodium cholate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, Tween 20 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate), and Emasol 1130 (an equivalent of Tween 20) did not contain any detectable amount of peroxide, aged solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate and Emasol 1130 contained peroxides. These observations suggest the need for appropriate precautions when biologically active substances vulnerable to attack by peroxides are incubated with Triton X-100 either for their solubilization from biomembranes or for other processing.

Solubilization and modulation of acyl-CoA:1-acyl-glycerophosphocholine acyltransferase activity in rat liver microsomes.

The acylation of 1-acyl-glycerophosphocholine is an important mechanism for the maintenance of the asymmetrical distribution of acyl groups in phosphatidylcholine. The majority of acyl-CoA:1-acyl-glycerophosphocholine acyltransferase is located in the microsomal fraction. In this study, the rat liver microsomes were incubated with various detergents, and the solubilized enzyme was separated from the remainder by centrifugation. Sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate and octylglucopyranoside caused the solubilization of 14-25% of the enzyme activity. The acyl specificity of the solubilized enzyme was similar to the insoluble enzyme, indicating that there was no selective solubilization of any acyl specific acyltransferase. The solubilized enzyme did not display any lipid requirement, and its activity was inhibited by phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and 1,2-diacylglycerol. Kinetic studies with varying concentrations of acyl-CoAs revealed that the inhibition by 1,2-diacylglycerol was essentially uncompetitive. The modulation of acyltransferase activity by 1,2-diacylglycerol may be an important mechanism for controlling the acylation of lysophosphatidylcholine.

Solubilization and partial characterization of adenosine binding sites from rat brainstem.

Binding sites for adenosine were solubilized from rat brainstem membranes with either sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate or 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethyl-ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate. About 30% of the binding activity were released by [3H]phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) binding. Specific [3H]PIA binding to the solubilized fraction was saturable and was found to be a monophasic saturation profile. In contrast, [3H]PIA binding to the brainstem membranes exhibited a biphasic profile suggesting the presence of two binding sites. By gel filtration on a Sepharose CL-6B column, the adenosine binding site--detergent complex was estimated to have app. Mr 280000 and rs = 5.4 nm.

Growth, sporulation and enterotoxin production by Clostridium perfringens type A in the presence of human bile salts.

The effect of human bile juice and bile salts (sodium cholate, sodium taurocholate, sodium glycochenodeoxycholate and sodium chenodeoxycholate) on growth, sporulation and enterotoxin production by enterotoxin-positive and enterotoxin-negative strains of Clostridium perfringens was determined. Each bile salt inhibited growth to a different degree. A mixture of bile salts completely inhibited the growth of enterotoxin-positive strains of this organism. Human bile juice completely inhibited the growth of all the strains at a dilution of 1:320. A distinct stimulatory effect of the bile salts on sporulation was observed in the case of C. perfringens strains NCTC 8239 and NCTC 8679. The salts also increased enterotoxin concentrations in the cell extracts of the enterotoxin-positive strains tested. No effect on enterotoxin production was detected when an enterotoxin-negative strain was examined.

Solute-solvent interactions in micellar electrokinetic chromatography. III. Characterization of the selectivity of micellar electrokinetic chromatography systems.

Several micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) systems (sodium dodecyl sulfate, lithium dodecyl sulfate, lithium perfluorooctanesulfonate, sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) have been characterized by means of the solvation parameter model. It has been observed that the coefficients of the correlation equations depend strongly on the particular set of compounds analyzed. Principal component analysis has been used to characterize the 2975 compounds with available solute descriptors and to select an appropriate subset of compounds to be analyzed by MEKC. With this set of compounds, the MEKC systems have been characterized. Principal component analysis has also been used to show the similarities and differences between the properties of the surfactants characterized by MEKC.

Cholesterol solubilization in aqueous micellar solutions of quillaja saponin, bile salts, or nonionic surfactants.

Quillaja saponin in aqueous solution enhanced cholesterol solubility by as much as a factor of 10(3) at room temperature. Increased temperature and [NaCl] increased cholesterol solubility, whereas solubility was greatest at an aqueous pH of 4.6 at 298 K. Although various saponin sources were observed to differ in their abilities to solubilize cholesterol, trends in their solubilization properties with changing aqueous phase parameters were consistent. Surfactant molecules containing fused-ring structures as their hydrophobic portion, such as sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, and quillaja saponin, solubilized cholesterol significantly better than the linear hydrocarbon chain surfactants Tween 20 and Triton X-100. Mixtures of surfactants studied were found to exhibit synergistic effects: they formed micelles at lower concentrations than did those formed by the individual surfactants themselves, and they had a better ability to solubilize cholesterol. The knowledge obtained from these studies improves our understanding of cholesterol association with saponin and other types of surfactants and enhances the potential for using saponins for the solubilization and extraction of hydrophobic solutes in various pharmacological and industrial applications.

Effect of Brij 58 on the hydrolysis of methyl butyrate by lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Purified Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase [EC 3.1.1.3] exhibited slight activity on water-soluble esters such as methyl butyrate, and this activity was increased on addition of Brij 58 (20 oxyethylene hexadecyl ether) to the solution. This stimulating effect of Brij 58 on hydrolysis of various esters (dimethyl succinate, butyl n-acetate, and tributyrin) in aqueous solution was unspecific. Hydrolysis of methyl butyrate depended on the molecular ratio of Brij 58 to lipase, being maximal (about 8 times the basal level at 37 degrees C with 80 mM substrate in 0.1 M NaCl solution) with 30 mol of Brij 58 per mol of lipase. Comparative studies showed that all polyoxyethylene (POE) alkyl ethers tested, stimulated the methyl butyrate hydrolyzing activity and that the Adekatol SO series (dihydric normal alcohol ethoxylate) also stimulated the appreciably active, whereas Triton X-100, sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, sodium dodecylsulfate, POE, and fatty acids had no effect. Comparison of the effects of Brij 58 on the methyl butyrate hydrolyzing activities of various lipolytic enzymes indicated that its effect was specific for this lipase. Brij 58 had no detectable effect with emulsified esters, such as supersaturated methyl butyrate and triolein.

A comparative study of the effect of bile salts on the absorption of quinalbarbitone sodium in goldfish.

The goldfish has been used as a model membrane to estimate the absorption of quinalbarbitone sodium by measurement of overturn time. The effect of sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, sodium chenodeoxycholate and sodium taurodeoxycholate on the quinalbarbitone-induced overturn time has been investigated and differences in capacity to promote absorption have been demonstrated. These differences could not be attributed to variations in solubility or partitioning of the drug within the membrane by the bile salts or to the relative hydrophobicity of each molecule. It is suggested that the bile salts must in someway affect the integrity of the goldfish membrane rendering it more permeable to quinalbarbitone sodium.

Repair of DNA damage induced by bile salts in Salmonella enterica.

Exposure of Salmonella enterica to sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, sodium chenodeoxycholate, sodium glycocholate, sodium taurocholate, or sodium glycochenodeoxycholate induces the SOS response, indicating that the DNA-damaging activity of bile resides in bile salts. Bile increases the frequency of GC --> AT transitions and induces the expression of genes belonging to the OxyR and SoxRS regulons, suggesting that bile salts may cause oxidative DNA damage. S. enterica mutants lacking both exonuclease III (XthA) and endonuclease IV (Nfo) are bile sensitive, indicating that S. enterica requires base excision repair (BER) to overcome DNA damage caused by bile salts. Bile resistance also requires DinB polymerase, suggesting the need of SOS-associated translesion DNA synthesis. Certain recombination functions are also required for bile resistance, and a key factor is the RecBCD enzyme. The extreme bile sensitivity of RecB-, RecC-, and RecA- RecD- mutants provides evidence that bile-induced damage may impair DNA replication.
