چکیده
We developed new benzofurazan (NBD) labeled probes for fluorocarbon surfactant systems. The fluorescence behavior depended on the solubilization site of the fluorescent probes in the surfactant aggregates. The NBD-labeled probes suffered virtually complete reduction in the presence of Na2S2O4 owing to the solubilization at the surface of 2-hydroxy-1,1,2,3,3-pentahydroperfluoroundecyldiethylammonium bromide (FC8DAB) aggregates. On the other hand, N-(3-sulfopropyl)acridinium (SPA) in FC8DAB aggregates showed residual fluorescence in spite of NaBH4 addition. The large vesicles of FC8DAB were confirmed by DLS measurements. These facts suggest that SPA is solubilized in an inner water phase of the vesicles. The NBD labeled fluorescence probe is quite effective for the study of the aggregation behavior of fluorocarbon surfactants.

Aqueous solution properties of disulfide linked gemini and cleaved monomeric thiol surfactants.
Monomeric thiol surfactants, [C(n)H(2n+1)N(CH(3))(2)CH(2)CH(2)SH]Br, were produced by the cleavage of gemini surfactant containing a disulfide bond in the spacer chain, [C(n)H(2n+1)N(CH(3))(2)CH(2)CH(2)SSCH(2)CH(2)N(CH(3))(2)C(n)H(2n+1)]2Br. The disulfide bond was completely reduced by the addition of four times moles of dithiothreitol in water at room temperature. The critical micelle concentr...
متن کاملGeneration of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon hybrid gemini surfactants controlled by micellar miscibility.
Hybrid surfactants were generated through the simple mixing of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon gemini surfactants in aqueous solutions at 25°C. Disulfide exchange between the disulfide in the spacer chain occurred in the mixed micelles. However, the generation of hybrid gemini surfactants was particularly inhibited by the addition of salt. The suppression of the electrostatic repulsion between the...
متن کاملStructures of new Erythrinan alkaloids and nitric oxide production inhibitors from Erythrina crista-galli.
Two new Erythrinan alkaloids, cristanines A and B (1, 2), were isolated from the bark of Erythrina crista-galli L. together with nine known Erythrinan alkaloids (3-5, 7-12) and an indole alkaloid (13). The structures of the compounds, cristanines A (1) and B (2), were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Three of the twelve compounds isolated showed significant inhibitory activity on lipopolysa...
