Archaeabacteria bipolar lipid analogues: structure, synthesis and lyotropic properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past several years, various archaeal symmetricalyunsymmetrical and acyclicymacrocyclic bipolar lipid analogues have been synthesized to study, from well-defined molecules, the membrane organizing and packing properties of this new class of amphiphiles. This review focuses on the structure and the synthesis of selected bolaamphiphiles and describes their supramolecular self-assembling properties in aqueous media. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Amphiphilic brush polymers produced using the RAFT polymerisation method stabilise and reduce the cell cytotoxicity of lipid lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles.
Self-assembled lipid lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles such as hexosomes and cubosomes contain internal anisotropic and isotropic nanostructures, respectively. Despite the remarkable potential of such nanoparticles in various biomedical applications, the stabilisers used in formulating the nanoparticles are often limited to commercially available polymers such as the Pluronic block cop...
متن کاملThe toxicity study of synthesized inverse carnosine peptide analogues on HepG2 and HT-29 cells
Objective: Cancer has risen as the main cause of diseases with the highest rate of mortality in the world. Drugs used in cancer, usually demonstrate side effects on normal tissues. On the other hand, anticancer small peptides, effective on target tissues, should be safe on healthy organs, as being naturally originated compounds. In addition, they may have good pharmacokinetic properties. carnos...
متن کاملOn the Hypericin Interaction with the Artificial Lipid Membrane in the Presence of Lyotropic Anions
The modifications induced by hypericin on the electric properties of the artificial lipid bilayers suggest that it has apparent stabilizing effects on the membrane against strong chaotropic anions. We imply that this is due to the interference of hypericin’s insertion into the bilayers with the mechanisms by which the lyotropic anions alter the electrical surroundings of the bilayer and/or the ...

The synthesis of the title compound, bitamycin, by means of BU4NF is described. This new antiviral drug was found to be one of the most powerful and least toxic substances for antiviral therapy in man. The physical and chemical behavior as well as the antiviral activities and clinical properties of this compound were found to be significantly different from that reported by Schaeffer, et a...
