Abstract
The interaction of chlorpromazine (CPZ) with supported bilayer lipid (dipalmitoyphosphatidylcholine) membrane (s-BLM) on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance spectroscopy. The experimental data, based on the voltammetric response of Ru(NH 3) 6 3+ associated with the oxidation of CPZ on the electrode, indicated that the interaction of CPZ with s-BLM was concentration and time dependant. The interaction between them could be divided into three stages by the concentration of CPZ: low, middle and high concentration. At the first stage, s-BLM was not affected by CPZ and the interaction was only a penetration of a small quantity of CPZ molecule into s-BLM. At the second stage, the defects formed in s-BLM due to the penetration of more CPZ molecule into s-BLM. At the last stage, a high CPZ:lipid ratio reached in s-BLM, resulting in the solubilization of s-BLM. The interaction time had different effect at three stages.
