the effect of different kinds of surfactants in various concentrations incorporated in an inert matrix, on the release of procainamide hydrochloride, as a cationic model compound, was investigated in this study. sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium stearate as anionic surfactants, cetyl pyridinium chloride and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as cationic and span 60 and tween 80 as non-ionic surfact...

the interactions of β-lactoglobulin ab in the presence of cationic surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetyltrimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate have been investigated using a variety of experimental techniques such as conductivity, uv-vis spectrophotometry and fluorimetry. the conductivity of surfactants aqueous solutions with β-lactoglobulin shows that the cmc of cationic s...

The aim of this work was to develop a simple, automatic system for the evaluation of cationic surfactants by combining sequential injection analysis and the sensitized effect of cationic surfactants on the reaction between metal ions and chelating dyes. This reaction is based on the increase in absorbance of the complex formed among molybdenum, bromopyrogallol red and increasing concentrations ...

Two soft biocompatible cationic surfactants from the amino acid arginine, 1,2-dilauroyl-3-acetylarginyl-rac-glycerol (1212RAc) and 1,2-dimirystoyl-3-acetylarginyl-rac-glycerol (1414RAc), were prepared. Their physicochemical properties show that they can be classified as multifunctional surfactants with self-aggregation behaviour comparable to that of short-chain lecithins. The two surfactants c...

The interaction has been studied in aqueous solutions between a negatively charged conjugated polyelectrolyte poly{1,4-phenylene-[9,9-bis(4-phenoxybutylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl} copolymer (PBS-PFP) and several cationic tetraalkylammonium surfactants with different structures (alkyl chain length, counterion, or double alkyl chain), with tetramethylammonium cations and with the anionic surfac...

A new series of ester functionalized cationic gemini surfactants having different cationic headgroups (i.e. piperidinium, pyrrolidinium, morpholinium and quaternary ammonium) have been synthesized and characterized using NMR and Mass spectroscopy. These new gemini surfactants were investigated for their micellization and viscosity properties using surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence and...

Firefly bioluminescence (BL) was greatly affected by cationic surfactants coexisting with liposomes containing phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol. In this study, the effects of the type and concentration of cationic surfactants on BL were studied in the presence of the liposomes. Three types of cationic surfactant: benzalkonium chloride (BAC), n-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), and ben...

The toxicity and environmental behavior of new pH-sensitive surfactants from lysine are presented. Three different chemical structures are studied: surfactants with one amino acid and one alkyl chain, surfactants with two amino acids on the polar head and one alkyl chain, and gemini surfactants. The pH sensitivity of these compounds can be tuned by modifying their chemical structures. Cytotoxic...
