Interactions between Cationic Vesicles and Candida albicans

Abstract

Dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB), a bilayer-forming synthetic amphiphile with antibacterial properties, also affects viability of Candida albicans. For C. albicans, simultaneous determination of cell viability and electrophoretic mobility as a function of DODAB concentration yields a very good correlation between cell surface charge and cell viability. Upon increasing DODAB concentration, the cell surface charge decreases and changes its sign to yield positively charged cells. However, in contrast to the DODAB bactericidal property, the amphiphile effect on fungus over 1 h of interaction time is only fungistatic at 1 mM DODAB and ca. 10 6 cells/mL. Nevertheless, solubilization of fungicides in DODAB dispersions prepared by sonication causes complete loss of cell viability. Amphotericin B (AB) or miconazole (M) solubilization in the DODAB bilayer leads to 100% cell death, though the drug and DODAB effects are independent. Cell and DODAB bilayer membranes compete for AB or M solubilization with the amphiphile bilayer controlling drug release to the cell membrane. 0.1 mM DODAB plus AB or M concentration of 2 and 20 μg/mL, respectively, yielded 0% of cell viability for C. albicans (2 × 10 6 cells/mL) over an interaction time of 24 h. The cationic liposomes by themselves yielded ca. 20% viability under similar conditions. The full potential of these cytotoxic cationic bilayers to control release and cytotoxicity of drugs remains hitherto unexplored.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
