Modulation of membrane permeability by carbon dioxide

Résumé

Promoting drug delivery across the biological membrane is a common strategy to improve bioavailability. Inspired by the observation that carbonated alcoholic beverages can increase the absorption rate of ethanol, we speculate that carbon dioxide (CO 2) molecules could also enhance membrane permeability to drugs. In the present work, we have investigated the effect of CO 2 on the permeability of a model membrane formed by 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine lipids to three drug-like molecules, namely, ethanol, 2 0 ,3 0-dideoxyadenosine, and trimethoprim. The free-energy and fractional-diffusivity profiles underlying membrane translocation were obtained from μstimescale simulations and combined in the framework of the fractional solubility-diffusion model. We find that addition of CO 2 in the lipid environment results in an increase of the membrane permeability to the three substrates. Further analysis of the permeation events reveals that CO 2 expands and loosens the membrane, which, in turn, facilitates permeation of the drug-like molecules.
