Abstract: One and two dimentional NMRmethods were used to investigate the interactionsof lanthanide complexes(Lncit2 and Ln-DTPA)with phospholipid bilayers. The resultsshowed that in the phospholipid bilayers dispersion containing citrate ligand at pH 7.4,lan-thanide ions would initially combine with citrate ligand and form Lncit2 complexes whichhave little effect on the structure of phospholipid bilayers. Ln-DTPAcomplex does not affectthe bilayers structure either.These results provided important experimental data for evaluat-ing scientifically the toxicities of lanthanide ions when they were introduced into the biologi-cal body.
