Reactivity of Olanzapine and Tricyclic Antidepressants on the Protective Effects of Trolox on Lipid Peroxidation Evaluated Using Fluorescence Anisotropy, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometry, and Thermal Analysis.

Multiacting receptor-targeting antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants stimulate various neurotransmitter receptors despite the different targets of postsynaptic receptors and presynaptic reuptake transporters. Their auxiliary and adverse effects may be caused by multiple targets or the modification of the neuronal membrane. To evaluate the membrane responses to olanzapine, imipramine, desipramine, amitriptyline, lidocaine, and dibucaine, we examined the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in egg yolk phosphatidylcholine liposomes.

Effects of Local Anesthetics on Liposomal Membranes Determined by Their Inhibitory Activity of Lipid Peroxidation.

In this study, we investigated the effects of drugs on membrane function in which lipid peroxidation was inhibited by the antioxidant Trolox (TRO) in liposomes containing egg yolk lecithin. Local anesthetics (LAs), such as lidocaine (LID) and dibucaine (DIB), were used as model drugs. The effect of LAs on the inhibitory activity of TRO was evaluated by calculating the p from the inhibition constant calculated by curve fitting.
