Resumo:
The study of the interaction of dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DBahA) and its metabolite with cell membrane and pulmonary surfactant models was performed by molecular dynamics. The cell membrane and pulmonary surfactant models usually are mixtures of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), and cholesterol. In the case of pulmonary surfactant, the models may include surfactant proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C and SP-D). In this project, the DBahA was simulated with DPPC and with a 32/32/1 mixture of DPPC/DPPG/Cholesterol. DBahA is found in automotive vehicles (especially diesel vehicles), in cigarette and wood smoke, and grilled food. The DBahA molecule is metabolized by cytochrome P450 and its metabolite interacts with DNA, being mutagenic and highly carcinogenic. The results show that the DBahA diffuses into the interior of the models forming clusters. In the simulated time scale, when the DBahA is in high concentration in the outer part of the models, it may not spread easily to the inner side of the models because it forms clusters in the water/model interface. The metabolite acts similarly, but prefers to stay closer to the polar head of the models.
