RESUMO
Sonicated 1,2-dihexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine forms liposomes. Studies by Fourier transform proton magnetic resonance of the interaction of these bilayers with some general anesthetics, i.e., chloroform, halothane, methoxyflurane, and enflurane, show that the addition of a general anesthetic to the liposomes and raising the temperature have a similar effect in cuasing the fluidization of the bilayer. General anesthetics act on the hydrophilic site (choline group) in clinical concentrations and then diffuse into the hydrophobic region with the addition of larger amount of anesthetics. There is evidence that the lecithin choline groups are involved in the interaction with protein and that the general anesthetics change the conformation of some polypeptides and proteins. We conclude that the general anesthetics, by increasing the motion of positively charged choline groups and negatively charged groups in protein, weaken the Coulomb-type interaction and cause the liprotein conformational changes.
