The synthesis and characterization of spin-labeled phospholipids (SLP)derivatives of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphothioethanol (PTE)with pH-reporting nitroxides that are covalently attached to the lipid’s polar headgroup are being reported. Two lipids were synthesized by reactions of PTE with thiol-specific, pH-sensitive methanethiosulfonate spin labels methanethiosulfonic acidS-(1-oxyl-2,2,3,5,5-pentamethylimidazolidin-4-ylmethyl) ester (IMTSL) andS-4-(4-(dimethylamino)-2-ethyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-oxyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzyl methanethiosulfonate (IKMTSL). The pKavalues of the IMTSL−PTE lipid measured by EPR titration in aqueous buffer/isopropyl alcohol solutions of various compositions were found to be essentially the same (pKa≈ 2.35), indicating that in mixed aqueous/organic solvents, the amphiphilic lipid molecules could be shielded from changing bulk conditions by a local shell of solvent molecules. To overcome this problem, the spin-labeled lipids were modeled by synthesizing IMTSL- and IKMTSL−2-mercaptoethanol adducts. These model compounds yielded the intrinsic pKa0’s for IMTSL−PTE and IKMTSL−PTE in aqueous buffers as 3.33 ± 0.03 and 5.98 ± 0.03, respectively. A series of EPR titrations of IMTSL−PTE in mixed water/isopropyl alcohol solution allowed for calibrating the polarity-induced pKashifts, ΔpKapol, vs bulk solvent dielectric permittivity. These calibration data allowed for estimating the local dielectric constant, εeff, experienced by the reporter nitroxide of the IMTSL−PTE lipid incorporated into the nonionic Triton X-100 micelles as 60 ± 5 and 57 ± 5 at 23 and 48 °C, respectively. For micelles formed from an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) the electrostatic-induced pKashift, ΔpKael= 2.06 ± 0.04 units of pH, was obtained by subtracting the polarity-induced contribution. This shift yields Ψ = −121 mV electric potential of the SDS micelle surface.
