Steady-state fluorescence intensity and fluorescence energy transfer studies between rifampicin and a set of functionalized probes [n-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acids, n=2, 12] reveal that, in both systems, isoniazid is located at the membrane surface whereas rifampicin is deeply buried inside the lipid bilayers. Steady-state fluorescence anisotropy studies performed with the probes 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and trimethylammonium-diphenylhexa-triene (TMA-DPH), not only corroborate the above results, but also show that no changes in membrane fluidity were detected in either liposome. The 1H NMR results, in DMPC liposomes, confirm the location of rifampicin near the methylene group of the acyl chains of the lipid bilayers. 收起
