PG - 111889 LID - S0927-7765(21)00333-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.111889 [doi] AB - The composition of Langmuir monolayers used as cell membrane models is an essential factor for the interaction with biologically-relevant molecules, including pharmaceutical drugs. In this paper, we report the modulation of effects from the antineoplastic drug paclitaxel by the relative concentration of cholesterol in the Langmuir monolayers of ternary mixtures of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol. Since the dependence on cholesterol concentration for these monolayers simulating lipid rafts is non-monotonic, we analyzed the surface pressure and compressibility modulus data with the multidimensional projection technique referred to as interactive document mapping (IDMAP). The maximum expansion induced by paclitaxel in surface pressure isotherms was observed for 27% cholesterol, while the compressibility modulus decreased most strongly for the monolayer with 48% cholesterol. Therefore, the physiological action of paclitaxel may vary depending on whether it is associated with penetration in the membrane or with changes in the membrane elasticity.
