When alpha-tocopherol was included in multibilayer vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and distearoylphosphatidylcholine it induced a broadening of the main transition and a displacement of this transition to lower temperatures, as seen by differential scanning calorimetry. This effect was quantitatively more important in the samples of distearoylphosphatidylcholine than in those of the other phosphatidylcholines. Alpha-Tocopherol when present in equimolar mixtures of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and diastearoylphosphatidylcholine, which show monotectic behaviour, preferentially partitions in the most fluid phase. The effect of alpha-tocopherol on the phase transition of dilauroylphosphatidylethanolamine and dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine is qualitatively different of that observed on phosphatidylcholines, and several peaks are observed in the calorimetric profile, probably indicating the formation of separated phases with different contents in alpha-tocopherol. The effect was more apparent in dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine than in dilauroylphosphatidylethanolamine. The inclusion of alpha-tocopherol in equimolar mixtures of dilauroylphosphatidylethanolamine and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, which show cocrystallization, only produced a broadening of the phase transition and a shift to lower temperatures. However, in the case of equimolar mixtures of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine which also show cocrystallization, the effect was to cause lateral phase separation with the formation of different mixtures of phospholipids and alpha-tocopherol. Alpha-Tocopherol was also included in equimolar mixtures of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine showing monotectic behaviour, and in this case alpha-tocopherol preferentially partitioned in the most fluid phase, independently of whether this was composed mainly of phosphatidylcholine or of phosphatidylethanolamine.
