| Abstract | The effect of synthetic anti-oxidant potassium phenosan (PP, potassium salt of β-(4-hydroxy-3,5-ditretbutil-phenyl)-propionic acid) on the structural state of the surface (8 Å) and deep (20–22 Å) lipid regions of plasma membranes of mice liver cells was studied by spin probes method in vitro in a wide range of concentrations (10$^{−5}$–10$^{−21}$ M). Two stable free radicals, 5- and 16-doxyl-stearic acids (C$_{5}$ and C$_{16}$), were used as spin probes. The nonlinear polymodal dose-effect dependences were obtained for parameters that characterize the microviscosity of the lipid bilayer (τ$_{c}$) in the site of localization of the probe C$_{16}$, and the order parameter (S), which characterizes the stiffness of the surface layers of lipids in the site of localization of the probe C$_{5}$. Statistically a reliable increase was observed for parameter τ$_{c}$ after addition of PP at concentrations 10$^{−5}$–10$^{−7}$ M and 10$^{−18}$–10$^{−19}$ M, and for parameter S after addition of PP at concentrations 10$^{−6}$–10$^{−7}$ M and 10$^{−13}$–10$^{−15}$ M. Peaks on both dose-effect curves were separated by the intervals of concentrations where PP had no effect on the studied physico-chemical characteristics of biomembranes. For PP concentrations which caused maximal changes in τ$_{c}$ and S, we investigated thermal dependence of these parameters and determined the thermally induced structural transitions. Comparing with control, ultra-low doses of PP (10$^{−13}$–10$^{−15}$ M) and (10$^{−18}$–10$^{−19}$ M) caused an appearance of additional thermally induced structural transition in the surface and deep regions of plasma membrane lipids. The possible role of the interaction of PP molecules with specific binding sites on plasma membranes and formation of nanoparticles of PP in very dilute aqueous solutions are discussed. |

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.
