Resum
Alzheimer's disease remains largely unknown, and currently there is no complete cure for the disease. New synthetic approaches have been developed to create multi-target agents, such as RHE-HUP, a rhein-huprine hybrid which can modulate several biological targets that are relevant to the development of the disease. While RHE-HUP has shown in vitro and in vivo beneficial effects, the molecular mechanisms by which it exerts its protective effect on cell membranes have not been fully clarified. To better understand RHE-HUP interactions with cell membranes, we used synthetic membrane models and natural models of human membranes. For this purpose, human erythrocytes and molecular model of its membrane built-up of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) were used. The latter correspond to classes of phospholipids present in the outer and inner monolayers of the human erythrocyte membrane, respectively. Xray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated that RHE-HUP was able to interact mainly with DMPC. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that RHE-HUP modified the normal biconcave shape of erythrocytes inducing the formation of echinocytes. Moreover, the protective effect of RHE-HUP against the disruptive effect of Aβ(1-42) on the studied membrane models was tested. X-ray diffraction experiments showed that RHE-HUP induced a recovery in the ordering of DMPC multilayers after the disruptive effect of Aβ(1-42), confirming the protective role of the hybrid.
