Abstract

Oxazolidine derivatives (OxD) are five ring-membered compounds that contain at least one oxygen and nitrogen in their molecular structure. OxD are known due to several therapeutic activities such as anticancer and antibiotic properties. In this paper, we performed a thermodynamic analysis of the mixed films composed by dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), dipalmitoylphosphoethanolamine (DPPE), dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or L-α phosphatidylcholine (PC) with a novel oxazolidine derivate (OxD). Relevant thermodynamic parameters such as excess areas (ΔAE), excess free energies (ΔG), and Gibbs free energy of mixing (AGmix) were derived from the surface pressure data. The topographical analysis was performed using atomic force microscopy. Based on the calculated values of the thermodynamic parameters, we observed that the miscibility of the mixed films was directly dependent on their composition. DPPG/OxD and DPPE/OxD systems present the best-mixed character at low pressures at OxD molar fraction equivalent to 0.25.
