Abstract
In this research, a new phospholipid based monolith was fabricated by in situ co-polymerization of 1-dodecanoyl-2-(11-methacrylamidoundecanoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and ethylene dimethacrylate to mimick bio-membrane environment. Excellent physicochemical properties of this novel monolith that were achieved included column efficiency, stability, and permeability. Moreover, the biomimetic monolith showed outstanding separation capability for a series of intact proteins and small molecules. In particular, it exhibited good potential as an alternative to the commercial immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) column (IAM.PC.DD2) for studying drug-membrane interactions. This study not only enriched the types of IAM stationary phases, but also provided a simple model for the prediction of phosphatidylethanolamine related properties of drug candidates.
