| Abstract | In the absence of sterol, amphotericin B at 5 × 10−6 M caused maximum marker release from the saturated dipalmitoyl lecithin liposomes, minimum release from the unsaturated dioleoyl lecithin liposomes, and an in-between response from egg lecithin liposomes. Nystatin at 2.5 to 4.0 × 10−5 M induced appreciable marker release from all three types of sterol-free liposomes. The amphotericin B- and nystatin-induced permeability changes in dipalmitoyl lecithin liposomes were drastically suppressed by the incorporation of cholesterol or stigmasterol (with identical Δ5 sterol nuclei), but were unaffected by the incorporation of ergosterol or 5,7-cholestadien-3β-ol (with identical Δ5,7 sterol nuclei). The nystatin sensitivity of dioleoyl lecithin liposomes remained low after the incorporation of cholesterol or stigmasterol, but was greatly enhanced by the incorporation of ergosterol or 5,7-cholestadien-3β-ol. Digitonin, a compound known to interact specifically with membrane sterol, induced marker release from liposomes in proportion to the amount of either cholesterol or ergosterol incorporated; epicholesterol did not sensitize to digitonin. These results lead to the following conclusions: (i) polyene-induced permeability alteration in model membrane systems is effected by the composition of membrane phospholipid fatty acyl chains; (ii) the distribution of double bonds in the sterol nucleus is related to the selective toxicity of the polyenes toward natural sterol-containing membranes; and (iii) polyenes differ in membrane selectivity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
