Abstract 


Cytosporone-B was isolated from fungi and incorporated in models of tumorigenic cell membranes using palmitoyloleoylglycerophosphoserine (POPS) and dipalmitoyl glycerophosphoserine (DPPS) lipids. While for DPPS, the compound condensed the monolayer and decreased the surface compressional modulus, it expanded and kept the compressional modulus for POPS. Hysteresis for compression-expansion cycles was more sensitive for POPS than for DPPS, while a high degree of destabilization was observed for POPS. As observed with infrared spectroscopy and Brewster angle microscopy, specific changes were selective regarding molecular organization and morphology. Atomic force microscopy for transferred monolayers as Langmuir-Blodgett films also confirmed such specificities. We believe these data can help understand the mechanism of action of bioactive drugs in lipid interfaces at the molecular level.
