Abstract
The surface charge of brain endothelial cells forming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is highly negative due to phospholipids in the plasma membrane and the glycocalyx. This negative charge is an important element of the defense systems of the BBB. Lidocaine, a cationic and lipophilic molecule which has anaesthetic and antiarrhytmic properties, exerts its actions by interacting with lipid membranes. Lidocaine when administered intravenously acts on vascular endothelial cells, but its direct effect on brain endothelial cells has not yet been studied. Our aim was to measure the effect of lidocaine on the charge of biological membranes and the barrier function of brain endothelial cells. We used the simplified membrane model, the bacteriorhodopsin (bR) containing purple membrane of Halobacterium salinarum and culture models of the BBB. We found that lidocaine turns the negative surface charge of purple membrane more positive and restores the function of the proton pump bR. Lidocaine also changed the zeta potential of brain endothelial cells in the same way. Short-term lidocaine treatment at a 10 μM therapeutically relevant concentration did not cause major BBB barrier dysfunction, substantial change in cell morphology or P-glycoprotein efflux pump inhibition. Lidocaine treatment decreased the flux of a cationic lipophilic molecule across the cell layer, but had no effect on the penetration of hydrophilic neutral or negatively charged markers. Our observations help to understand the biophysical background of the effect of lidocaine on biological membranes and draws the attention to the interaction of cationic drug molecules at the level of the BBB.

Modifiers of membrane dipole potentials as tools for investigating ion channel formation and functioning. INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2015; 315:245-97.

Abstract
Electrostatic fields generated on and within biological membranes play a fundamental role in key processes in cell functions. The role of the membrane dipole potential is of particular interest because of its powerful impact on membrane permeability and lipid-protein interactions, including protein insertion, oligomerization, and function. The membrane dipole potential is defined by the orientation of electric dipoles of lipid headgroups, fatty acid carbonyl groups, and membrane-adsorbed water. As a result, the membrane interior is several hundred millivolts more positive than the external aqueous phase. This potential decrease depends on the lipid, and especially sterol, composition of the membrane. The adsorption of certain electroneutral molecules known as dipole modifiers may also lead to significant changes in the magnitude of the potential decrease. These agents are widely used to study the effects of the dipole potential on membrane transport. This review presents a critical analysis of a variety of data from studies dedicated to ion channel formation and functioning in membranes with different dipole potentials. The types of ion channels found in cellular membranes and pores formed by antimicrobial agents and toxins in artificial lipid membranes are summarized. The mechanisms underlying the influence of the membrane dipole potential on ion channel activity, including dipole-dipole and charge-dipole interactions in the pores and in membranes, are discussed. A hypothesis, in which lipid rafts in both model and cellular membranes also modulate ion channel activity by virtue of an increased or decreased dipole potential, is also considered.

Abstract
The influence of the local anesthetic lidocaine on electrostatic properties of a lipid membrane bilayer was studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The electrostatic dipole potential, charge densities, and orientations of the headgroup angle have been examined in the presence of different amounts of charged or uncharged forms of lidocaine. Important changes in the membrane properties caused by the presence of both forms of lidocaine are presented and discussed. Our simulations have shown that both charged and uncharged lidocaine cause almost the same increase in the electrostatic potential in the middle of the membrane, although for different reasons. The increase, approximately 90 mV for 9 mol % of lidocaine and 220 mV for 28 mol % of lidocaine, is of a size that may affect the functioning of voltage-gated ion channels.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics computer simulations have been performed to investigate dynamical and structural properties of a lidocaine local anesthetic. Both charged and uncharged forms of the lidocaine molecule were investigated. Properties such as membrane area per lipid, diffusion, mass density, bilayer penetration and order parameters have been examined. An analysis of the lidocaine interaction with the lipid surrounding according to a simple mean field theory has also been performed. Almost all examined properties were found to depend on which of the two forms of lidocaine, charged or uncharged, is studied. The overall picture is a rather static behavior determined by the lipids for the charged molecules and more mobile situation of the uncharged form with higher diffusion and lower orientational and positional order.
