| Abstract | We have studied the action of some membranotropic agents (MTAs) on the parameters of mono- and multilayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The MTAs used included an antimicrobial drug, decamethoxinum, the model amphiphilic agent stearoyl-L-α-alanine, and cholesterol as a reference substance. Using differential scanning calorimetry and the Langmuir monolayer technique, we measured the temperature and enthalpy of the main phase transition of DPPC, the mean molecular area, the collapse pressure and the free energy of the mixed monolayers of DPPC and MTA. A good correlation has been obtained between the structure of the MTA used and changes in the parameters of both mono- and multilayers. Thus, for cholesterol, its well-known condensing effect in the Lα phase correlates with its behavior in the mixed monolayers. The disturbing action of decamethoxinum (depression of the phase transition in DPPC multilayers and relatively high free energy of mixing in monolayers) is presumably connected with interaction of its charged ammonium moieties with polar phospholipid heads. At the same time, stearoyl-L-α-alanine condensed the lipid layers and increased the melting point of DPPC, owing to its interaction with both polar and non-polar lipid moieties. One can conclude that the three MTAs used can really be considered as representative examples of three different types of behavior in mono- and multilayers. |

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.
