Interfacial Interactions and Nanostructure Changes in DPPG/HD Monolayer at the Air/Water Interface

Abstract: Lung surfactant (LS) plays a crucial role in regulating surface tension during normal respiration cycles by decreasing the work associated with lung expansion and therefore decreases the metabolic energy consumed. Monolayer surfactant films composed of a mixture of phospholipids and spreading additives are of optional utility for applications in lung surfactant-based therapies. A simple, minimal model of such a lung surfactant system, composed of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phosphor-rac-(1-gylcerol)] (DPPG) … Show more

“…From the values of Δ G ex , the interaction parameter ξ and activity coefficients γ i of DPPC and CUR at a given surface pressure can be calculated by the following equations [ 23 , 34 , 35 ]: where R is the Boltzmann constant, T is the absolute temperature, and X 1 and X 2 denote the mole fractions of components 1 and 2 in the mixed film. The interaction parameter ξ is a measurement of the cohesive forces between different molecules [ 36 , 37 ]. The negative value of ξ denotes a stronger attractive interaction between the two molecules while the positive value of ξ means a stronger repulsive interaction between like molecules [ 38 ].…”

“…The effect of different concentrations of various carbon nanomaterials on the lipid layer may be assessed by qualitative comparison of the shape of π-A isotherm curves; however, a more articulate information on mechanical effects in the monolayer can be gathered from surface compressibility functions. Isothermal surface compressibility κ is a reciprocal of dilatational elasticity of the interfacial region ε (sometimes also called the compressibility modulus C s −1 [22]):…”

“…Simplified lipid model systems were applied to study the details of membrane affinity of the bioactive compounds. The Langmuir monolayer of lipid molecules is a widely used membrane model due to its well defined and controlled structure as well as versatility in composition [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The molecular interaction with dissolved drug component is monitored by the increase of surface pressure allowing to deduce its penetration ability [20][21][22][23].…”
