Abstract in Portuguese
Sulfonamidas e seus diferentes derivados são extensivamente utilizados na medicina devido a suas propriedades farmacológicas, tal como sua atividade antibacteriana. Propriedades toxicológicas e farmacológicas modificadas vêm sendo observadas quando essas sulfonamidas são administradas nas formas de complexos metálicos. Neste trabalho, utilizamos as moléculas sulfadimetoxina (4-p-aminobenzenosulfonamida-2,6-dimetoxipirimidina) e sulfisoxazol (N(1)-(3,4-dimetil-5-isoxazolil)sulfanilamida) complexados com Cu(II) para acessar seus mecanismos de interação com modelos de membranas lipídicas. Foram feitos experimentos de calorimetria diferencial de varredura (DSC) e de ressonância paramagnética eletrônica (RPE) em soluções contendo os complexos de cobre na presença de modelos de membranas biológicas compostos por fosfolipídios e, no caso de RPE, contendo sondas magneticamente ativas. Amostras foram preparadas utilizando-se o fosfolipídio dipalmitoilfosfatidilcolina (DPPC) e, para os experimentos de RPE, contendo também derivados de DPPC marcados com sonda magnética disposta ao longo da cadeia acila (n-PCSL, onde n=5, 12 e 16). Os resultados de DSC mostram que ambos os complexos alteram tanto a transição de fase principal quanto a pré-transição dos fosfolipídios componentes do modelo de membrana, indicando assim a existência de interação e de maior desordenamento da membrana na presença dos complexos de cobre. Os espectros de RPE mostram que os complexos de cobre afetam, principalmente, a fase gel dos fosfolipídios e maiores alterações são percebidas em posições da membrana mais próximas à interface membrana-solvente. Nossos dados indicam que interações não-específicas entre os complexos de cobre e membranas podem ser um mecanismo utilizados pelo fármaco para vencer as barreiras físicas da célula.

Abstract in English
Sulfonamides and their different derivatives are extensively used in Medicine due to their pharmacological properties, such as antibacterial activity. Modified toxicological properties have been observed when those sulfonamides are administered in the form of metal complexes. In this work, we used the molecules sulfadimethoxine (4-p-aminobenzenesulfonamido-2,6-dimethoxypyrimidine) and sulfisoxazole (N (1) - (3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl) sulfanilamide) complexes with Cu(II) to assess their mechanism of interaction with lipid model membranes. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) experiments were carried out to monitor the influence of the complexes on the lipid thermotropic behavior. Samples consisting of the multilamellar vesicles of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DDPC) and, in the case of EPR, spin labeled phospholipids were used as models for the membrane. DSC results showed that the presence of the complexes affects both the pre-transition and the main phase transition of the lipids in the membrane. A disordering effect is evidenced by the decrease in Tm and Tp values. ESR results showed that the major alterations are detected in the lipid gel phase and for the labels positioned close to the lipid-water interface. Overall our results indicate that non-specific interactions between the complexes and the membrane might be a mechanism used by the drugs to overcome the physical barriers found in the cell.
