Abstract

Despite available experimental results, the molecular mechanism of action of local anesthetics upon the nervous system and contribution of the cell membrane to the process are still controversial. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the effect of two clinically used local anesthetics, procaine and tetracaine, on the structure and dynamics of a fully hydrated dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine lipid bilayer. We focused on comparing the main effects of uncharged and charged drugs on various properties of the lipid membrane: mass density distribution, diffusion coefficient, order parameter, radial distribution function, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic potential, headgroup angle, and water dipole orientation. To compare the diffusive nature of anesthetic through the lipid membrane quantitatively, we investigated the hexadecane/water partition coefficient using expanded ensemble simulation. We predicted the permeability coefficient of anesthetics in the following order: uncharged tetracaine > uncharged procaine > charged tetracaine > charged procaine. We also shown that the charged forms of drugs are more potent in hydrogen bonding, disturbing the lipid headgroups, changing the orientation of water dipoles, and increasing the headgroup electrostatic potential more than uncharged drugs, while the uncharged drugs make the lipid diffusion faster and increase the tail order parameter. The results of these simulation studies suggest that the different forms of anesthetics induce different structural modifications in the lipid bilayer, which provides new insights into their molecular mechanism.

摘要

尽管已有实验结果,但局部麻醉药对神经系统的分子作用机制以及细胞膜在该过程中的作用仍存在争议。在这项工作中,我们进行了分子动力学模拟,以研究两种临床常用局部麻醉药——普鲁卡因和丁卡因,对完全水合的二肉豆蔻酰磷脂酰胆碱脂质双层结构和动力学的影响。我们着重比较了不带电荷和带电荷药物对脂质膜各种性质的主要影响:质量密度分布、扩散系数、序参数、径向分布函数、氢键、静电势、头基角度和水偶极取向。为了定量比较麻醉药在脂质膜中的扩散性质,我们使用扩展系综模拟研究了十六烷/水分配系数。我们预测麻醉药的渗透系数顺序为:不带电荷的丁卡因>不带电荷的普鲁卡因>带电荷的丁卡因>带电荷的普鲁卡因。我们还表明,与不带电荷的药物相比,带电荷形式的药物在形成氢键、干扰脂质头基、改变水偶极取向以及增加头基静电势方面更有效,而不带电荷的药物使脂质扩散更快并增加尾部序参数。这些模拟研究结果表明,不同形式的麻醉药在脂质双层中诱导不同的结构修饰,这为它们的分子机制提供了新的见解。
