Chuen-Chin HsuChen and David S. Feingold* abstract: The selectivity of action of the polymyxin antibiotics was studied using lipid spherules in aqueous suspension (liposomes) as a model system; the release of trapped glucose marker was the index of membrane damage. The polymyxin B induced glucose release was observed to be a specific process which differentiates among phospholipids with various “polar head” structures. Liposomes prepared from phos-phatidylethanolamine were extremely sensitive to polymyxin B while none of those prepared from the VV-methyl-substituted analogs (jV-methylphosphatidylethanolamine, MY-dimethylphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine) were sensi-tive to the antibiotic. The N-methylated analogs of phosphatidylethanolamine protected phosphatidylethanolamine-containing liposomes from polymyxin B. The efficiency of this protection was a function of the molar percent of the analog
