Membrane-Phloretin Interaction, Infrared Raman, ESR Spectroscopy The transport inhibitor phloretin was bound to human red cell membrane and the concomitant structural changes were observed by spectroscopic methods. By the spin labeling method a decrease in fluidity of the membrane was found at 1 and 10 |iM concentrations of the reagent. This result was obtained with the 2-(3-Carboxypropyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-tridecyl-3-oxazolidinyloxyl, and the 2-(14-Carboxytetradecyl)-2-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-oxazolidinyloxyl lipid spin labels. Infrared spectroscopy of modified membranes revealed an intensity increase of the POO~ band at about 1250 cm-1. Moreover, a shift of the peak at 1050 cm -1 to 1100 cm-1 was observed in the presence of phloretin. Raman spectroscopy of the membranes did not contradict the results found with infrared and ESR spectroscopy: In the phloretin modified membrane we observed a lack of the band at 1085 cm-1, which leads to suggest that the POO" and/or C-C regions are less fluid. Changes of the extracted red cell membrane lipids were less characteristic, and the results differed from those found in red cell membrane.
