The hydrolysis and the stabilization of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in liposomes at 30°C were studied. The liposomes consisted of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and stearylamine. At pH 4·0 and 8·0, the pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) in DMPC: stearylamine (2:1 mole ratio) liposomes were approximately 60% of the values in control solutions (kB) if ASA was incorporated via the organic phase. In contrast, when ASA was added via the aqueous phase, kobs = kB at pH 4·0 but kobs < kB at pH 8·0 and kobs increased with the fraction of stearylamine in the liposomes. However, when ASA was added via the organic phase, reactions occurred which resulted in the loss of ASA as a function of the time period between phase admixture and the point of film hydration. A product of the reactions was determined by IR and TLC to be N-stearylacetamide. Both the initial loss of ASA and the increase in stability decreased as the DMPC: stearylamine mole ratio increased. A mechanism of aminolysis occurring in the organic solvent and at liposome surfaces between ASA and stearylamine or DMPC at pH 8·0 has been suggested. It is concluded that the orientation of ASA and the ordered structural environment of the bilayers minimizes the aminolytic and hydrolytic reactions.
研究了30°C下乙酰水杨酸(ASA)在磷脂酰胆碱(DMPC)和硬脂胺组成的脂质体中的水解和稳定性。在pH 4·0和8·0时,如果ASA通过有机相引入,DMPC:硬脂胺(2:1摩尔比)脂质体中的伪一级速率常数(kobs)约为对照溶液(kB)的60%。相比之下,当ASA通过水相添加时,在pH 4·0时kobs = kB,而在pH 8·0时kobs < kB,且kobs随脂质体中硬脂胺比例的增加而增加。然而,当ASA通过有机相添加时,发生的反应导致ASA随相混合和膜水化点之间时间段的增加而损失。通过IR和TLC确定反应产物为N-硬脂基乙酰胺。随着DMPC:硬脂胺摩尔比的增加,ASA的初始损失和稳定性的增加都降低。提出了一种在有机溶剂中以及在pH 8·0时脂质体表面ASA与硬脂胺或DMPC之间的胺解机制的假设。可以得出结论,ASA的取向和双层有序结构环境最小化了胺解和水解反应。
