`
`in this study, hydrolysis of PC as a function of
`pH,
`temperature and buffer C011CtiI1t3T£i.ti()IE was
`investigates}. The data were analysed to assess
`eatziiytie effects of
`the different buffer" species
`used.

`
`Mater*itais
`
`Soybean. PC (Phesphoiipori 1.00) was obtained
`from Nattemiarm Gmhi-1, Cologne, F.R.G, and
`used as received. PC consisted of .90% PC, 5.0%
`
`1yso~oompoimds, 5.0% free fatty acids and less
`than 0.1% water. The fatty acid eempositioii of
`PC, determined. by high performance liquid ehro~
`rhatogitaphy (HPLC), was as foimws:
`myris—
`tie acid, 18.2% pahiiitie acid, 4.2% stearie acid,
`12.0% oieie acid, 61. % iirieieie acid. Gther ehem-
`ieais were of analytical grade. Ail sohitieiis were
`prepared with deuh1e~disti11eci water.
`
`Buffer saiutions
`The following aqueous buffer solutions were
`used for the kinetic studies: pH 4--V5 acetate buffer,
`pH 5 to 6,5 citrate ‘buffer and pH '7 to 9 Tris
`buffer. The pH was measured with a giass elec-
`trode and a pH meter (Type CC: 817' T, Sehott
`Gerate, F.R.G.). Ionic strengths of the buffer solu-
`tions were 0.068, 0.125, 0.200 and 0.300 and ad-
`justed by manipulating the i3(3}.'1C6'ntI’£‘.§,iOn of the
`buffer eempoheiits.
`
`Preparation of the lipasome di.s';;er5ions
`INC) liposeme dispersions were prepared by the
`“filth” methed (Szoka and Papahadjopouios,
`1980). After formation of the phesphoiipid fihn in
`a roimd~hottorn flask in a rotary evaporator at
`~- 50° C, the film was left under reduced pressure
`overnight. It was hydrated at ~ 50°C with the
`appropriate "buffer solution and the pH of the
`dispersion was measured and adjusted,
`if heces~
`sary. The iriitiai PC eorieeiitrat;:ien was 30 mitt.
`Extrusion was carried out twice through a mem-
`brane filter with. a pore size of 0.2 grin (Uiii.~pore_,
`Bie~.R.ad, Riehinond, CA, ‘U.S.A.). The vesicle di»
`ameter, determined by dyrianiie light scattering

`
`Maiverra 4600 apparatus {Maivern Ltd, Maivern,
`U.K.), equipped with a, 25 mW helium/iieon laser
`(NRC Corp, Toiryo, Japan), was around 0.19 am.
`The dispers.ieiis were stored in the refrigerator
`overnight arid extruded. again the
`day, The
`pH of
`the dispersiens was also measured and
`adjusted between the t3Xti‘E1S'iGl1S; the pH was foi-
`iowed duririg the stitches on ciegra.dat.ion kinetics
`for all samples; no changes were observed.

`
`The prepared iiposerne dispersions were filled
`into 1 mi ampouies under nitrogen atmosphere in
`an LAF cabinet and seated. Ampoules were stored
`eithei' in a constant tempei'atui'e water hath or a
`constant
`temperature eahiriet, which were equi~
`iibrated to the required. temperature prior to use
`Samples were taken after appropriate time intern

`Th.eret‘ore, it is necessary to keep the pH eonstant
`by using buffer soltit.io_tis. The possible catalytic
`effect of the buffer on the degradation process has
`to be taken into 8tC?(30llill. (Connors,
`il973), Su‘o~
`stanti.al. catalytic effects of the buffer components
`in the stability studies were reported by investiga~
`tors for other substances {Bei_inen, 1986; Carrey,
`1987). To evaluate the cotitrihutioii of the l>ui€fer
`species, the km value can he exggaressed as:
`
`kohs
`
`k0 + 'i*"HiH+l '5" kotilgflml
`
`+ klvuffer lbufferi
`
`where k0 is the first~order rate constant. for the
`degradation in water only, kH and ice“ are the
`seeonchorder rate constants for proton» and hy-
`droxyl~oatalysed clegrad.ation,
`respectively,
`and
`k,,um,, is the sum of the secotid.—oa‘der rate oon~
`stants for the €i6gI'£l{lt1E.i0I1 catalysed by teach of the
`buffer eornponents.

`The catalytic effects of the hiiffer coinpo;rieht.s
`on the hydrolysis of PC were it1'vest.igated at con~
`stant pH and temperature (72° C), but at different
`buffer concentrations. In this case, the term /6 -,,._,m,_,
`{buffer} in Eqn. 2. is varied while the other terms
`are constant.
`
`For each pl-i value, plots of kfibs a.ga.inst. the
`buffer concentration yield a. straight line with an
`intercept equal to the rate constant (;’1c;,,_,) at zero
`buffet‘ concentration (liqn. 3) and
`slope equal to

`gradation hy the buffer coinnozients. These kg“
`values were used. to obtain the pill profile of PC

`The PC concenti'a.ti.on, before and after vortexing,

`
`General acidnbase catalysis was observed by the

`imlicated by the slopes of they plri hydroljysis rate

`linear relationship between observed rate constant
`and buffer cottcentration. From Table 1 an in-

`ature range is above the transition tetnperat.ure
`-(IQ) of soybean phosphatidyldnoline. Therefore,
`no hireak in the Art°henins plot was ol>sez'ved (Fig,
`7).
`
`Further analysis of the frequency factor in the
`Arrhenius equation ‘showed that probability fats»
`tors of the hydrolysis kinetics of PC in liposonie
`dispersions did not significantly differ front l<inet~
`
`ics in homogeneous one-phase aqueous solutions
`(Frost and l’e-arson, 1961). Apparently the ester
`bonds (Fig. 1) are freely accessible for hys:h'olys:is.
`From this study it can he decided that rniniinutn
`degradation kinetics occur at pH 6.5 and that low
`‘buffer concentrations are favourable;
`values
`at pH 6.5 and at zero bn.ffer concentration of 296
`days at 6 ° C can be calculated. A lyso-PC content
`in PC vesicles of 10% (molar basis) increased the
`taerrneahility diarnaticaily (lnoue and Kitagawa,
`1t97'4; Kibat and Stricker,
`'.t,985j), Work is in pro-
`gress to investigate the effect of charge inducing
`agents and cholesterol on deg;t’adation t<:ii:ietics and
`biiayer pernieahility.
