FTIR, 1H NMR and EPR spectroscopy studies on the interaction of flavone apigenin with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes

Abstract: Apigenin (5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone) is a cancer chemopreventive agent and a member of the family of plant flavonoids. Apigenin interaction with liposomes formed with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) was investigated by means of FTIR spectroscopy, (1)H NMR and EPR techniques. Fluorescent microscopy and electron microscopy were applied to study the apigenin effects on colon myofibroblasts and human skin fibroblasts. The strong rigidifying effect of apigenin with respect to polar head groups was concluded on… Show more

“…The vibrational bands corresponding to the bonds O-H, C-H, C=C ring, C-OH and C-C ring are derived from water soluble compounds such as ascorbic acid, 29 as well as flavonoids and polyphenols. 30,31 These results are in accordance with previous research that show a high content of ascorbic acid and flavonoid in water apple fruit. 32,33 Hence, it may be inferred that these water-soluble polar compounds are responsible for both reducing Ag(I) and efficient stabilization or capping of the prepared AgNPs.…”

“…However, the nature of the changes in the hydrophilic part of the liposome membrane, reflected in the slightly amended shape of the spectrum with an additional maximum of the carbonyl band, pointed out the lack of direct bindings between polyphenolic compounds of the extracts and carbonyl groups of lipids. The observed changes may be the result of the formation of hydrogen bonds between the OH groups of polyphenols and oxygen in the ester binding of lipids, which was also suggested by other authors [43]. In the parts of the spectrum corresponding to the vibrations of the phosphate groups, we also observed a shift of the maximum toward smaller frequencies that was larger for wild blueberry extracts, indicating greater hydration under the influence of these extracts.…”

“…The spectral shift of band representing C=O stretching and broadening of P=O stretching vibrations relatively confirmed the binding of flavonoids to the polar head of the membrane through the oxygen groups of lipid and keto groups of flavonoids. Our results strongly support the previously reported study results, [53][54][55] where majority of the flavonoids bind to the polar heads (C-O-P-O-C stretching) of the PC via hydrogen bonding, thus indicating the localization of flavonoids. Thermal analysis behavior of PC alone (PC), flavonoids alone (QKA), physical mixture of flavonoids with carrier (QKA + PC), and M4 flavonosome (M4) was obtained by DSC and TGA ( Figure 7F).…”
