Abstract

The transition temperature of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) was reduced to lower tempertaures in presence of propranolol, imipramine, amitriptyline and chlorpromazine. This effect was dependent on drug concentration and was smallest with propranolol. The fluidizing effect, however, increased from propranolol to chlorpromazine according to the octanol/H2O partition coefficients.

When the two phospholipids PG and phosphatidylcholine (PC) were compared, the presence of drug lead to a more pronounced reduction of the transition temperature in the case of the acidic phospholipid than in the case of the neutral one.
