Abstract
5SO3H-8-hydroxyquinoline coordinated to Europium (Eu-5SO3-HQ) was incorporated in biomembrane models using Langmuir monolayers. Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylserine (DPPS) were employed, representing mammalian cells and dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) as a positively charged lipid to study the contrast with negatively charged lipids. Tensiometric, rheological and spectroscopic techniques were employed to characterize Eu-5SO3-HQ- lipid monolayer interactions. The complex condenses all the monolayer indicating interactions with the lipids' polar heads, but with distinctive effects on the mechanical and rheological properties. While the complex decreases the compression and elastic moduli of DPPC and DPPS monolayers, it increases for DODAB, also decreasing its lateral viscosity. Infrared spectroscopy shows that the interaction of Eu-5-SO3-HQ alters the ordering of the lipids' alkyl chains, impacting the monolayer's molecular packing. These results show that the interaction of Eu-5SO3-HQ with lipid monolayers at the air-water is modulated by the composition of the polar head, which can be supportive in the preparation of nanodevices for molecular probing.
