Hybrid liposomes (HLs) composed of 90 mol% dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and 10 mol% polyoxyethylene(23)dodecyl ether (C(12)(EO)(23)), having a hydrodynamic diameter under 100 nm, were preserved for a period of one month. The inhibitory effects of HLs on the growth of gastric carcinoma (CoRa 622 G6) cells in vitro were investigated. Decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and activ...

The major immunodominant integral outer membrane protein C (OmpC) from Salmonella typhi Ty21a was overexpressed, without the signal peptide, in Escherichia coli. The protein aggregates as inclusion bodies (IBs) in the cytoplasm. OmpC from IBs was solubilized with 4 M urea and refolded. This involved rapid dilution of unfolded OmpC into a refolding buffer containing polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ethe...

Cytoplasmic membrane fragments of Micrococcus luteus catalyze in vitro biosynthesis of teichuronic acid from uridine diphosphate D-glucose (UDP-glucose), uridine diphosphate N-acetyl-D-mannosaminuronic acid (UDP-ManNAcA), and uridine diphosphate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Membrane fragments solubilized with Thesit (dodecyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether) can utilize UDP-glucose and UDP-ManNAcA to e...

The effects of non-ionic surfactants as mobile phase additives on the fluorescence intensity of dansyl derivatives of biogenic amines in high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) were investigated. The dansyl derivatives of putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine were separated by HPTLC with silica gel as stationary phase and an eluent consisting of chloroform–triethylamine (2 ...

ethoxylated fatty acids or polyoxyethylene esters of fatty acids possess surface active characteristic depending on ethoxylation degree (glycol type used).they have a wide range of applications and are known by formulated trade names.fatty acids used as starting materials are obtained by the hydrolysis of fats and oils and thus the final products are fully biodegradable.the objective of this in...

We prepared pH-sensitive anionic liposomes composed solely of anionic bilayer membrane components that were designed to promote efficient release of entrapped agents in response to acidic pH. The pH-sensitive anionic liposomes showed high dispersion stability at neutral pH, but the fluidity of the bilayer membrane was enhanced in an acidic environment. These liposomes were rather simple and wer...

A cloud-point extraction (CPE) method using the surfactant (30)p-tert-octylphenol polyoxyethylene (OPEO30) was proposed as the preceding step for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Given the need for surfactant derivatization before the chromatographic analysis, the reaction conditions of coacervate derivatization were s...

We have synthesized core-shell structured 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) functionalized antimony-doped tin oxide nanoparticles (MANs)-poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) (PMMA-co-BA, PMB) nanocomposite latex particles via miniemulsion polymerization method. Polymerizable anionic surfactant DNS-86 (allyloxy polyoxyethylene(10) nonyl ammonium sulfate) was first introduced to s...

Traces of P(V) and As(V) in sample solutions were converted into heteropoly molybdic acids at pH 1.5 and collected onto polyoxyethylene(20)-4-isononylphenoxy ether-coated Amberlite XAD-4 particles. The desorption was carried out with 0.3 M tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution for the HPLC analysis. Molybdophosphoric and molybdoarsenic acids were separated from excess molybdate by ion-pair rev...
