The uptake of dibucaine into large unilamellar vesicles in response to proton gradients (delta pH; inside acidic) or membrane potentials (delta psi; inside negative) has been investigated. Dibucaine uptake in response to delta pH proceeds rapidly in a manner consistent with permeation of the neutral (deprotonated) form of the drug, reaching a Henderson-Hasselbach equilibrium where [dibucaine]in/[dibucaine]out = [H+]in/[H+]out and where the absolute amount of drug accumulated is sensitive to the buffering capacity of the interior environment. Under appropriate conditions, high absolute interior concentrations of the drug can be achieved (approximately 120 mM) in combination with high trapping efficiencies (in excess of 90%). Dibucaine uptake in response to delta psi proceeds more than an order of magnitude more slowly and cannot be directly attributed to uptake in response to the delta pH induced by delta psi. This induced delta pH is too small (less than or equal to 1.5 pH units) to account for the transmembrane dibucaine concentration gradients achieved and does not come to electrochemical equilibrium with delta psi. Results supporting the possibility that the charged (protonated) form of dibucaine can be accumulated in response to delta psi were obtained by employing a permanently positively charged dibucaine analogue (N-methyldibucaine). Further, the results suggest that delta psi-dependent uptake may depend on formation of a precipitate of the drug in the vesicle interior. The uptake of dibucaine into vesicles in response to ion gradients is of direct utility in drug delivery and controlled release applications and is related to processes of drug sequestration by cells and organelles in vivo.
