Novel catanionic vesicles from calixarene and single-chain surfactant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mixed system between p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide forms unilamellar vesicles after sonication of the aqueous dispersion. Furthermore these vesicles can be stored, without use of lyoprotectants, by lyophilization and then rehydration without change in size or shape.

Investigations into the bending constant and edge energy of bilayers of salt-free catanionic vesicles.
Using molecular dynamics simulation, we performed theoretical calculations on the curvature constant and edge energy of bilayers of salt-free, zero-charged, cationic and anionic (catanionic) surfactant vesicles composed of alkylammonium cations (C(m)(+)) and fatty acid anions (C(n)(-)). Both the minimum size and edge energy of vesicles were calculated to examine the relation between the length ...
متن کاملPhoto-assisted gene delivery using light-responsive catanionic vesicles.
Photoresponsive catanionic vesicles have been developed as a novel gene delivery vector combining enhanced cellular uptake with phototriggered release of vesicle payload following entry into cells. Vesicles with diameters ranging from 50 to 200 nm [measured using cryo-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and light-scattering techniques] form spontaneously, following mixing of positively charg...
متن کاملSpontaneous vesicle formation in catanionic mixtures of amino acid-based surfactants: chain length symmetry effects.
The use of amino acids for the synthesis of novel surfactants with vesicle-forming properties potentially enhances the biocompatibility levels needed for a viable alternative to conventional lipid vesicles. In this work, the formation and characterization of catanionic vesicles by newly synthesized lysine- and serine-derived surfactants have been investigated by means of phase behavior mapping ...

متن کاملInfluence of chain length of alcohols on Stokes' shift dynamics in catanionic vesicles.
In this paper, we explore the effects of the chain length of simple monohydroxy alcohol (C(n)OH, 2 ≤ n ≤ 8) and benzyl alcohol (C(6)H(5)CH(2)OH) upon the fluorescence dynamics of a dipolar solute probe, coumarin 153 (C153), in vesicles formed in aqueous solutions of two oppositely charged (cationic and anionic) surfactants in the presence of 0.05 mol kg(-1) alcohol. The catanionic vesicles are ...
