The influence of esters based on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and mono-/bicyclic terpenoids on membrane structure was investigated. The mechanism of action for terpenoid esters on phospholipids of artificial membranes and lipids isolated from the rat stratum corneum was studied by fluorescence and FT-IR spectroscopy. We report here, that inclusion of monocyclic terpenoid esters in phospholipid liposomes leads to growth of excimer to monomer ratio (IE/IM) indicating a decrease of membrane microviscosity. Another mechanism of influence on biomembranes was proposed for ester of bicyclic borneol ‒ in this case a high ratio of vibronic peak intensities (I1/I3) was revealed. The addition of terpenoid esters appears in the FT-IR spectra as intensity reduction of absorption bands associated with C=O, P=O and Р‒О‒С groups of lecithin phospholipids. Similar results were obtained after esters addition to lipids isolated from stratum corneum indicating a decrease of hydrogen bonds number between polar groups of lipids.
