1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine, a zwitterionic phospholipid, was chosen as a simple but suitable membrane model of the human cell membrane for mimicking the neutral charge of the surface membrane of eukaryotic plasma membranes[1]. The effect of antibiotics such as Rifabutin on human cell membrane models was assessed using multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) composed of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine[1-2]. 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine can serve as a model lipid membrane to study the effects of DMSO and drugs on eukaryotic cell membranes[3-5]. 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine can also be used to prepare polydiacetylene (PDA)[6]. 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine experiences an increase in headgroup area, enhanced membrane disorder, and increased fluidity due to DMSO, but the bilayer does not disintegrate[4].

Preparation of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine vesicles[1]:
1. Initially, the required amount of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine lipid (∼2mg) was taken in the round-bottom flask and solubilized in a 1:1 chloroform/methanol mixture.
2. Subsequently, the mixture was slowly evaporated using a rotary evaporator to produce the thin film of dry lipid at the bottom of the flask.
3. The thin film was then hydrated using the required amount of water or DMSO/water mixtures prepared previously, and the volume was adjusted to achieve a final lipid concentration of ∼3mM.
4. For the spectroscopic studies, sonicate the vesicle solutions by means of an ultrasonic probe sonicator using a pulse of ∼20 ± 3kHz, followed by passing the vesicle solution through a 450nm pore size cellulose filter to obtain the uniform distribution of vesicles ∼100 ± 20nm in size.
5. Then the solutions were added to the methanol-evaporated Coumarin 153 (C153) or 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) solution as required.
DMSO treatment of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine[2]:
1. DMSO is used as a cosolvent, and its concentration is gradually increased from 0% to 25%.
Analysis of water dynamics in 1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine after DMSO treatment[2]:
1. Lipids are modeled using the Slipid force field, water with the TIP4P/2005 model, and DMSO parameters are derived from General Amber Force Field.
2. PACKMOL is used to arrange lipids, water, and DMSO evenly within the bilayer.
3. Energy minimization is performed using the steepest-descent algorithm.
4. Simulations are conducted in the NPT ensemble with a temperature of 350K and a pressure of 1bar.
5. The bilayer is equilibrated for 800–1000ns with all-bond constraints, followed by 1μs of NPT simulation without bond constraints.
6. Bilayer properties such as area per lipid, density profile, and thickness are analyzed from the NPT production runs.
