Study of microstructure of skin barrier model using deuterated ceramides
Juhaščik, Martin ; Kováčik, Andrej (advisor) ; Paraskevopoulos, Georgios (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Author: Martin Juhaščik Supervisor: PharmDr. Andrej Kováčik, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Study of microstructure of skin barrier model using deuterated ceramides Ceramides (Cer) are sphingolipids, which participate in eucaryotic cells in various biological processes (cell signalling, proliferation, differentiation and cell apoptosis). In mammalian skin, Cer are localized in the uppermost layer of epidermis, stratum corneum (SC). In this layer, Cer along with cholesterol (Chol) and free fatty acids form multilayer lamellae of intercellular lipid matrix. The skin lipid arrangement in SC is still unclear. To evaluate the skin lipid arrangement, skin membrane models with labelled (deuterated) lipids have been used. Therefore, the aim of this work was to synthesize sphingosine with deuterated chain and Cer based on deuterated sphingosine, i.e., N-lignoceroyl sphingosine-d28 (with lignoceric acid acyl (C24); d-CerNS) and N-lignoceroyl-d47 sphingosine-d28 (dd-CerNS) and to study their phase behaviour and arrangement in model membranes by using biophysical studies. Synthesis of deuterated Cer started from elimination of 1-pentadecanol-d31 to obtain a deuterated terminal alkene. Next, a vinylation of...
