Liposomes have been widely employed as biomembrane-mimetic system and drug-delivery system. In these applications, the low stability of liposomes has been the most serious problem. They have relatively short half-lives and easily lysed through interactions with biological components. This study was performed to investigate the effects of godulbaegi extracts on the fludity of phospholipid liposomes. We used dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine(DPPC) liposomes which make most stable liposomes among the other phosphatidylcholines. The thermograms of the DPPC liposomal bilayers incorporated with the hexane extract of godulbaegi(Ixeris sonchifolia H.) were obtained, and the enthalpy changes and the sizes of cooperative unit of the transition were calculated. The incorporation of the Ixeris sonchifolia H. into the liposomal bilayers effectively reduced the transition temperature at which the transition from gel state to liquid-crystalline state occurs, broadened the thermogram peaks, and reduced the ratio of van't Hoff to calorimetric enthalpies. These results indicate indicate that the godulbaegi extracts (Ixeris sonchifolia H.) have significant effects on the fluidity of biological membrance.

Effects of total ginseng saponin, 20-S-protopanaxadiol saponin, 20-S-protopanaxatriol saponin and playcodon saponin on the osmotic behavior of liposomes were investigated by optical measurement. These saponins showed different activities on liposomal membrane, and cholesterol in liposomes was an important factor to this variation of saponin activities.

Ro09-0198, a cyclic peptide isolated from culture filtrates of Streptoverticillium griseove-rticillatum, induced platelet aggregation and serotonin release simultaneously. LDH release was not observed. Addition of peptide to rat platelet, loaded with $Ca^{2+}$ chelator quin-2, caused immediate rise in cytosolic free $Ca^{2+}$. Liposomal membrane containing phosphatidylethanolamine was damaged by peptide and released $^{45}Ca$ dose dependently.

Genistein (GT), a major isoflavone found in soybeans, has a potent antioxidant effect that protects the skin from UV-induced damages and malignant melanoma. In order to enhance the cellular uptake of GT, liposome/Tat complexes were prepared by an electrostatic interaction of anionic liposome (DMPC/DCP, 9:1 in molar ratio) with Tat peptide (0.02 to 0.08 mole), one of the well-known cell penetrating peptide (CPP). As the amount of Tat increased, the size increased but the zeta potential decreased. In vitro release study with dialysis membrane elicited GT release from liposomal preparations in a controlled manner. The addition of Tat increased GT release, especially for the initial period. In the cellular uptake study by incubating B16 melanoma cells with various liposomal preparations containing GT, B16 melanoma cells demonstrated a time-dependent increase of drug accumulation. Compared to the aqueous GT suspension, intracellular uptake was substantially enhanced by anionic liposomal formulation and further increased by the complex formulation. Therefore, liposome/ Tat complex might be a good candidate for facilitating intracellular drug delivery.

The effects of lipid peroxidation on the fluidity of the lipid bilayers of the human erythrocyte ghosts and egg-lecithin phospholipid liposomes have been studied. For the measurements of the peroxidation extent and the fluidity of the membranes, the thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and the fluorescence depolarization of 1, 6-diphynyl-1, 3, 5-hexatriene labelled into the membrane were employed, respectively. The lipid peroxidation was performed in hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase/ferrous ion, and hydrogen peroxide/ferrous ion systems. The results of these experiments show that both of the xanthine oxidase and hydrogen peroxide systems effectively. The lipid peroxidation decreased the fluidity of the membranes, especially at the very early stage of the peroxidation reaction. The decrease in the fluidity of membrane by the lipid peroxidation has been ascribed to the alteration of the polyunsaturated acyl chains of lipids and cross linkages among the membrane components. However, under drastic condition of lipid peroxidation, tdhe fluidity of the membrane rather increased possibly due to the deterioration of the membrane integrity by the peroxidation. Morphological change of the erythrocyte on peroxidation has also been observed.

Calcein-encapsulated small unilamellar vesicles of various lipid composition were prepared using the sonication technique, and their stabilities at $20^{\circ}C$ were examined by measuring calcein leakage from the liposomes. The fluidity of these liposomal bilayers was also investigated by measuring the fluorescence polarization of DPH labelled into the liposomes. The results showed that liposomes made of PC mixtures with different acyl chain length were very stable, which may be due to the formation of interdigitated bilayer structure. The addition of cholesterol further stabilized these PC liposomes. However, addition of cholesterol reduced the encapsulation efficiences of liposomes. The fluidity of the liposomes was significantly decreased by cholesterol in the liquid crystalline state, but not changed in the gel state. These results suggest that the enhanced stability of PC mixture liposomes may be ascribed to the formation of stable interdigitated bilayer structure. In membrane-mimetic and drug-delivery studies, vesicles made of mixtures of various phospholipids are recommended instead of addition of cholesterol to the phospholipid.

Ro09-0198, a cyclic peptide isolated from culture filtrates of Streptoverticillium griseoverticillatum, induced lysis of erythrocytes. Ro-09-0198-induced hemolysis was temperature-dependent and the sensitivity of hemolysis differed greatly among animal species. Preincubation of the peptide with phosphatidylethanolamine reduced the hemolytic activity, whereas other phospholipids present in erythrocytes in nature had no effect. A study of the structural requirements on phosphatidylethanolamine necessary for interaction with the peptide indicates that Ro09-0198 recognizes strictly a particular chemical structure of phosphatidylethanolamine: dialkylphosphoethanolamine as well as 1-acylglycerophosphoethanolamine showed the same inhibitory effct on hemolysis induced by Ro09-0198 as diacylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine, whereas phosphoethanolamine gave no inhibitory effect. Neither phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine nor alkylphosphopropanolamine had an inhibitory effect. Proton resonances of the peptide were observed in dimethyl sulfoxide solution in the presence of 1-dodecanoyl-sn-glycerophosphoethanolamine. This peptide caused permeability increase and aggregation of liposomes containing phosphatidylethanolamine. A glycerol backbone and a primary amino group of phosphatidylethanolamine are necessary for interaction with Ro09-0198 to cause membrane damage. Ro09-0198 induced a selective permeability change on liposomes. Glucose and umbelliferyl phosphate were effluxed significantly, but sucrose was only slightly permeable and inulin could not be released. Platelet aggregation and serotonin release simultaneously induced by Ro09-0198. Addition of peptide to rat platelet, loaded with the fluorescent $Ca^{++}$ chelator quin-2, caused immediate rise in cytosolic free $Ca^{++}$ to liposomal membrane containing phosphatidylethanolamine was observed dose dependently.

인공 생체유사막을 인지질인 dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC)로 제조하여 인지질 막에 미치는 대두사포닌의 영향을 시차열량 분석계로 연구하였다. 대두사포닌이 침투되기 전, 후의 인지질막의 상그림을 얻어 상 전이시 엔탈피의 변화와 협동단위수를 상법에 따라 계산하였다. 대두사포닌이 침투된 인지질 막의 상그림은 순수 인지질 막의 상 그림에 비해 넓적하게 변하였으며 특이하게 상전이 온도를 낮추었다. 이것은 인지질막의 이중층에 침투된 대두사포닌이 인지질 이중층의 협동단위를 감소시킨 것으로 추정된다. 이러한 결과로 보아 대두사포닌은 인지질 막 이중층의 유동성에 중요한 영향을 미친다고 사료된다.

In order to elucidate the mechanism of action of transdermal absorption-enhancing compounds, i.e., pyrrolidone derivatives (2-pyrrolidone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1,5-dimethyl-pyrrolidone and 5-methyl-2-pyrrolidone), multilamellar liposome was prepared from the simulated stratum corneum lipid and employed as a model system for the barrier function of the stratum corneum. The liposomal membrane of the stratum corneum lipid liposome (SCLL) behaves as an osmometer and has an excellent barrier function. In addition, its phase transition temperatures are similar to those of human stratum corneum intercellular lipid region. Therefore, SCLL seems to be a useful skin model. To estimate the barrier function of SCLL, the osmotic behavior of SCLL was measured in the presence of pyrrolidone derivatives and the effect on the phase transition temperature of SCLL was also investigated using differential calorimetry. Above a certain concentration (MLAC), enhances perturb the barrier function of the liposome. The relationship between MLACs and the partition coefficient of the pyrrolidone derivatives was observed; the greater the partition coefficients, the smaller the MLAC. This suggests that the more hydrophobic enhancers penetrate into the lipid layer more easily and reduce the barrier function of membrane more effectively. The results of differential scanning thermograms of the SCLL suggest that the pyrrolidone derivatives had incorporated into the lipid layer in the liposome and increased the fluidity of the lipid layer in the liposome. Such activity might have some correlation with the transdermal absorption-enhancing activity these compounds.

쑥갓(Chrsanthemum coronarium L., CC)은 국화과(Compositae)에 속하는 일년생 초본식물로 독특한 향기를 가진 지중해 원산 식물이다. 우리 나라에는 중국을 거쳐 조선초기에 전해졌으며 시기용으로 널리 애용되고 있다. 본 연구는 쑥갓의 메타놀 분획물(CCMM), 헥산분획물(CCMH), 에틸아세테이트 분획물(CCMEA), 부타놀분획물 (CCMB) 및 수층인 CCMA 분획물을 얻고 각각 일정량을 불포화인지질인 L-$\alpha$-dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine(DLPC) liposome에 가하고 benzoyl peroxide를 가하여 산화시켜 분광광도법에 의하여 산화지수 ( $A_{234nm}$/ $A_{202nm}$)를 측정 비교하였다. 그 결과 쑥갓의 각 분획물 일정량을 가한 경우의 DLPC liposome의 산화지수는 시료를 가하지 않은 경우보다 낮아 높은 항산화력을 나타내었으나 강한 항산화제인 BHT를 가한 경우 보다는 항산화 정도가 낮았다. 그러나 특히 본 연구에서 알려진 결과로는 쑥갓 분획물들의 항산화력이 널리 알려진 항산화제인 $\alpha$-tocopherol을 가한 경우와 그 효과가 비슷하여 식용으로 애용되고 있는 쑥갓의 항산화적 생리활성이 본 연구에서 입증되었으며 이 효과를 기초로하여 식물 속의 항산화성을 이용한 식품의 개발이 기대 된다.
