Abstract

The paper presents data on changes in model biomembranes (liposomes, erythrocyte shadows, erythrocytes) used as test objects to determine those ranges of concentrations of biologically active substances in which there is no violation of the structure or function of experimental objects. Melaphene, plant growth regulator used in small doses in seed pre-treatment, and antioxidant phenosan derivatives, phenoxane and IHFANs, have been used as biologically active substances. It was shown by DSC that phenosan derivatives at concentrations equal to 10-5 M and higher destroy the microdomain organization in the bilayers of phospholipid multilamellar liposomes and reshape protein microdomains in the shadows of red blood cells. Melaphene in small and large concentrations changes polymodal the microdomain organization in the bilayers of phospholipid multilamellar liposomes without destroying the structure and does not affect the protein microdomains in the shadows. An increase in the membrane permeability in isolated intact erythrocytes in the presence of melaphene in large and small concentrations has been revealed by means of spectral anaslysis. The method of small-angle diffraction scattering showed the absence of the effect of melaphene in a wide range of concentrations on the thickness of phospholipid bilayers and the order of their packaging in multilamellar liposomes.
