13. -1). The diffusion coefficients were obtained by the least-square analysis of 6-10 experimental points of the echo signal attenuation. The experimental uncertainty was within ± 10%. The drugs used in this study are preferentially partitioned into membrane because they are highly lipophilic. This is confirmed by no variation of the drug diffusion coefficient when the drug concentration is changed in the range from one to 25 mol%. Thus the drug diffusion between aggregates can be negligible on the experimental time scale. The trapped amount of the drug in membrane is under equilibrium, judging from the NMR signal before and after the diffusion measurement.

21. When the drug is trapped in the membrane for a sufficiently long time, the mean-square displacements of the drug and membrane molecules need to be coincident with each other in the long-time limit The diffusion coefficients obtained in the present study are the ones through the fit to the equation appearing in Ref. [13]. In other words, our D is an "effective" one conditioned by the experimental time scale. If the time scale is not long enough, the D of the drug is not necessarily equal to the D of the membrane molecule, while it is a certain measure of the molecular mobility in the aggregate.
