It has recently become apparent that lipids are reactive towards drugs that partition into membranes. The goals of this project are to understand the extent nature and consequences of this reactivity in biological membranes, and to engineer drugs to exploit this reactivity in order to traverse membrane barriers. The strategies for achieving this is include the synthesis of fatty acids that can taken up into cells and incorporated into membrane lipids to enable the purification and detection of modified drugs, screening of these lipids in relevant cell lines, and the synthesis of modified drugs to induce detectable reactivity. Synthetic fatty acids will also be incorporated into lipids and these lipids characterised in liposomes as model membrane systems.

最近发现，脂质对进入细胞膜的药物具有反应性。该项目的目标是了解生物膜中这种反应性的程度和后果，并设计药物来利用这种反应性以穿越膜屏障。实现这一目标的策略包括合成可被细胞吸收并掺入膜脂的脂肪酸，以实现修饰药物的纯化和检测，在相关细胞系中筛选这些脂质，以及合成修饰药物以诱导可检测的反应性。合成脂肪酸也将被掺入脂质中，并且这些脂质在脂质体中作为模型膜系统进行表征。
