Abstract: | The molar partition coefficients of amphiphilic additives, e.g. local anesthetics, between the aqueous phase, the liquid crystal and the gel phase of lipid membrane can be determined based on a combination of phase transition data obtained at high and low concentrations of the lipid in aqueous phase. The data obtained at high lipid concentration allow to find the phase diagram lipid-additive in the aqueous environment. The combination of this diagram with data obtained at low lipid and additive concentrations provides direct information on the concentration of anesthetics in the lipid and thus allows the calculation of the partition coefficient. |
