Figure 8.

Partitioning of troglitazone and rosiglitazone into lipid bilayers. (A) Heat production as a function of time as 2-µl aliquots of a 10-mM lipid vesicle solution is injected into 200 µM of rosiglitazone solution. Each injection results in a peak in the energy versus time signal (left); the area under the peak corresponds to the enthalpy of partitioning for that injection, which is plotted as a function of the injection number (▪, right panel). The solid line denotes the fit of Eq. 7 to the results to determine the partition coefficient (KPWL) and the molar enthalpy of partitioning (ΔHPWL). (The partitioning of troglitazone was tested by titrating 30 µM troglitazone with 3 mM lipid.) (B) The partition coefficient KPWL (solid fill bars) and logKPWL (hatched fill bars) for troglitazone (olive) and rosiglitazone (pink). (C) ΔGPWL (dark filled bars), ΔHPWL (light filled bars), and TΔSPWL (open bars) for troglitazone (TRO, pink) and rosiglitazone (ROS, pink). n = 3; error bars are plotted.
