C6-SM uptake enhancement is optimal for amphiphilic compounds. During a 60 min period, confluent BAEC were allowed to take up one of a series of fluorescent compounds, either in the absence (control) or presence of 10 μM C6-SM. After washing, drug accumulation was determined by fluorimetric analysis of the cell lysates. The C6-SM effect on cellular accumulation of the compounds is expressed as percentage to the controls (mean±s.d., n=4). These data are plotted against the (log) lipophilicity of each compound, as determined by its partition ratio over a two-phase system consisting of 1-octanol and water (mean±s.d., n=4).
