运用电容法研究卵磷脂/氨基酸/H2O胶束和囊泡体系结构与性质. 卵磷脂的临界胶束浓度和囊泡生成浓度可由体系电容-卵磷脂浓度关系曲线求得.随着卵磷脂浓度增加, 体系电容增加, 卵磷脂由胶束形成囊泡. 随着氨基酸浓度增加, 胶束、囊泡半径增大, 体系电容减小. 氨基酸能促进卵磷脂形成胶束和囊泡, 使得卵磷脂临界胶束浓度和囊泡生成浓度减小, 其影响的强弱顺序为组氨酸>色氨酸>>甘氨酸.     

盐引发阴离子/非离子表面活性剂复配体系中囊泡自发形成

在无盐时, 阴离子表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)与非离子表面活性剂壬基酚聚氧乙烯(10)醚(TX-100)的复配体系中只有混合胶束存在, 而盐的加入即可以引发体系中囊泡的自发形成, 这使得囊泡的形成变得更加简单. 引发机理可以归因于盐对离子表面活性剂的极性头双电层的压缩作用, 减少了极性头的面积, 加上非离子表面活性剂的参与使得堆积参数P增加, 导致了半径更大的聚集体的形成. 制作了SDBS/TX-100/盐水拟三元相图, 通过目测和表面张力的变化确定了囊泡形成的带状区域, 并用负染色电镜(TEM)对囊泡进行了表征, 同时测定了盐度以及相同盐度下表面活性剂浓度对囊泡粒径的影响, 发现囊泡的粒径随着盐度的增加而增加, 而在同一盐度下, 囊泡的粒径基本不受表面活性剂浓度的影响.

两亲性/双疏性嵌段共聚物共混体系的自组装行为研究

采用耗散粒子动力学方法,研究了两亲性嵌段共聚物和双疏性嵌段共聚物共混体系的自组装行为,探讨了双疏性嵌段共聚物的浓度以及双疏性嵌段共聚物的嵌段体积分数对聚集体结构的影响.结果表明,随着双疏性嵌段共聚物浓度的增加,聚集体发生自囊泡到棒状胶束再到同心圆多舱胶束的转变,且当浓度较高时,同心圆多舱胶束的同心圆层数量与浓度密切相关.当双疏性嵌段共聚物中的嵌段体积分数降低时,球形胶束由同心圆结构转变为非同心圆结构.此外,利用Minkowski泛函方法表征了多舱胶束的形成过程,发现这是一个先形成大尺度球形结构、再形成小尺度内核结构的分级组装过程.     

N-甲基二乙醇胺用量对水性阳-非离子聚氨酯溶液性能的影响

通过预聚体法合成了水性阳-非离子聚氨酯表面活性剂(CPUS),利用红外光谱和核磁共振谱对聚合物的结构和组成进行了表征.并通过动态光散射(DLS)、透射电镜(TEM)、表面张力仪、稳态流变分析及荧光光谱法等系统研究了阳离子亲水扩链剂N-甲基二乙醇胺(MDEA)用量对CPUS表面张力、临界胶束浓度、流变性、胶束的尺寸、微极性和聚集行为的影响.TEM表明,CPUS胶束呈球形核壳结构.随着MDEA含量的增加,CPUS水溶液表面张力和临界胶束浓度(CMC)先减小后增大,其最低值分别为39.54 m N/m和1.99 g/L,胶束的平均粒径和分布系数逐渐减小.当浓度低于CMC时,光散射强度较低且变化缓慢,当浓度高于CMC时,光散射强度呈现逐渐增长趋势,胶束聚集数逐渐增加.随着MDEA含量的增加,乳液黏度增加,胶束间的相互作用增强,假塑行为增强.荧光光谱法表明随CPUS浓度增加,I1/I3值从1.8降低到1.3,I338/I334值从0.5升高到1.7,表明疏水基团聚集形成疏水微区,芘分子从水相极性环境转移到胶束疏水内核.随着MDEA含量的增加,胶束微极性和形成难度先减小后增加.     

在阴离子表面活性剂中对甲苯胺对尼罗红的荧光开关效应

研究了不同浓度的对甲苯胺对十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)形成自组装体系的影响。以尼罗红作为荧光探针,对甲苯胺为荧光开关,根据紫外和荧光光谱的变化,对自组装体系进行分析:在SDBS的胶束状态下,加入对甲苯胺促进了表面活性剂紧密堆积,使SDBS体系从胶束转变为囊泡,导致体系的荧光强度增强。继续增加对甲苯胺的浓度至3 mmol/L以上时,体系的荧光强度反而开始减小,此时对甲苯胺转变为尼罗红的荧光猝灭剂。而在十二烷基磺酸钠(SDSN)和十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)胶束溶液中,对甲苯胺对尼罗红只有荧光猝灭的作用。因此在不同阴离子表面活性剂中,对甲苯胺引起的尼罗红荧光开关效应是不一样的。在SDBS与对甲苯胺相互作用聚集形成的囊泡中尼罗红的荧光寿命大幅增加,这些为研究荧光探针在生物环境下的作用机理提供新思路。

Liposomes Prepared from Inverse Micelles

A method for the preparation of liposome is introduced, which contains two experimental steps: (a) inverse micelles of lecithin are formed in water-in-oil system by sonication; (b) the micelles are spread on the water surface, passed Through the oil-water interface, and transformed into liposomes in the water phase. The main advantage of this method is that the inner aqueous solution encapsulated by liposomes could be different from their enviromental medium. The liposome size is less than 0.5 μm in diameter by atomic force microscope. Comparison of activities of urease with and without liposome encapsulation suggested that urease was well entraped into liposomes.     

Interaction between (1,1'-Binaphthalene)-2,2'-diol and Lecithin Liposome

The interaction between (1,1′‐binaphthalene)‐2,2′‐diol (BINOL) and lecithin liposome was studied by UV‐Vis, fluorescence and ¹H NMR spectroscopies. BINOL can obviously associate with lecithin liposome and the preferential binding site of BINOL with lecithin liposome is located in the headgroup region. The hydrogen bond and electrostatic interaction should exist in BINOL/liposome system, which restricts intra‐annular rotation of naphthol moieties. Therefore, the fluorescence intensity of BINOL increases when a small quantity of liposome is added into the system. The partition coefficient K_D between the lecithin liposome and the aqueous phase is 310.9. With the increase of BINOL concentration, the micropolarity (I₁/I₃) and membrane fluidity of liposome decreased, while the viscosity of membrane increased.     

Attenuated total reflectance infrared studies of liposome adsorption at the solid-liquid interface

Interfacial interactions between liposomes and the solid–liquid interface (i.e. a ZnSe internal reflection element, modified to mimic a biological surface) were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode. Both conventional liposomes, containing lecithin and cholesterol and Stealth^® liposomes containing poly(ethylene)glycol (PEG)5000- or PEG2000-lipids were investigated. IR bands due to the liposome components were observed to increase with time and enabled the liposome adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics to be quantified. The liposome solution conditions, surface properties and compositions have all been shown to influence liposome adsorption. Free energies of adsorption were determined to be in the range from −10.0 to −11.0 kJ mol⁻¹ and slightly reduced by PEG incorporation. The adsorption rate constant is decreased with increased solution pH and decreased ionic strength; this reflects the importance of electrostatics in controlling liposome adsorption. Increasing the level and molecular weight of PEG incorporation in the liposomes significantly reduced both the rate and extent of liposome adsorption; steric hindrance is considered to play a key role. Findings from this research will improve the understanding of liposome interaction during drug delivery, give insight into the actions of liposomes in the body and may form the basis for improved liposome formulations.     

Phase behavior and rheological properties of lecithin/TTAOH/H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O mixtures

The phase behavior, structures, and rheological properties of lecithin/tetradecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (TTAOH)/water system were investigated by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), polarization optical microscope, ¹H and ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, surface tension, and rheological measurements. With the variation of mixing molar ratios and concentrations of lecithin and TTAOH, the system exhibits the phase transition from micelles (L₁ phase) to vesicles (L_α phase) through a phase separation region. The rod-like micelles, uni- and multilamellar vesicles were determined by means of cryo-TEM observations. The surface tension and rheological measurements were performed to follow the phase transition. The samples of L₁ phase region behave as Newton fluids at low concentration of lecithin. With the increase of the lecithin concentration, a shear-thinning L₁ phase at the shearing rate 100 s⁻¹ was found. The samples of \textL_a {{\text{L}}_{\alpha }} phase region show viscoelastic properties of the typical vesicles. The interactions between lecithin and TTAOH were monitored by ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectra. These results could contribute towards the understanding of the basic function of lecithin in biological membranes and membranous organelles.     

Thermodynamics of Chitinase Partitioning in Soy Lecithin Liposomes and Their Storage Stability

The goal of this study was to define the partitioning behavior of chitinase from Trichoderma spp. in soy lecithin liposomes, using a thermodynamic approach based on the partitioning variation with temperature. An effort has been made to define the liposomes, as well as free and immobilized enzyme stability during storage at 4 and 25 °C. The partition coefficients (K (o/w)) were greater than 1; therefore, the standard free energies of the enzyme transfer were negative, indicating an affinity of the enzymes for encapsulation in liposomes. The enthalpy calculation led to the conclusion that the process is exothermic. The presence of enzyme decreased the liposome storage stability from 70 days to an approximately 20 days at 25 °C and 30 days at 4 °C. Monitoring of the liposome's diameter demonstrated that their size and concentration decreased during storage. The liposome's diameters ranged from 1.06 to 3.30 μm. The higher percentage of liposome corresponded to a diameter range from 1.06 to 1.34 μm. This percentage increased during storage. There were no evidences for liposome fusion process. The stability of immobilized enzyme was increased in comparison with free chitinase.     

Anomalous solubilization behavior of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles

The solubilization dynamics of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) liposomes, as induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), were investigated; this investigation was motivated by several types of atypical behavior that were observed in the solubilization in this system. The liposomes and surfactants were mixed in a microchip, and the solubilization reaction of each liposome was observed using a microscope. We found that solubilization occurred not only via a uniform dissolution of the liposome membrane, but also via a dissolution involving the rapid motion of the liposome, or via active emission of protrusions from the liposome surface. We statistically analyzed the distribution of these patterns and considered hypotheses accounting for the solubilization mechanism based on the results. When the SDS concentration was lower than the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the SDS monomers entered the liposome membrane, and mixed micelles were emitted. When the SDS concentration was higher than the CMC, the SDS micelles directly attacked the liposome membrane, and many SDS molecules were taken up; this caused instability, and atypical solubilization patterns were triggered. The size dependence of the solubilization patterns was also investigated. When the particle size was smaller, the SDS molecules were found to be homogeneously dispersed throughout the whole membrane, which dissolved uniformly. In contrast, when the particle size was larger, the density of SDS molecules increased locally, instability was induced, and atypical dissolution patterns were often observed.     

Complexation of polycations to anionic liposomes: composition and structure of the interfacial complexes

Poly(N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide) (a polycation with a degree of polymerization of 1100) was adsorbed onto liposomes composed of egg lecithin with a 0.05-0.20 molar fraction (nu) of anionic headgroups provided by cardiolipin (a doubly anionic lipid). According to electrophoretic mobility data, this led to total charge neutralization of the liposomes, whereupon the liposomes adopted a positive charge as additional polymer continued to adsorb. Although the liposomes aggregated at the charge-neutralization point, they disassembled into individual liposomes after becoming positively charged. The degree of polymer adsorption was shown to reach a limit. Thus, by measuring the free polymer content in a liposome suspension, it was possible to determine the polymer concentration at which the liposome surface became saturated with polymer. Beyond this point, an electrostatic/steric barrier at the surface suppressed further adsorption. Dynamic light scattering studies of liposomes with and without adsorbed polymer allowed calculation of the polymer film thickness which ranged from 22 to 35 nm as the molar fraction of cardiolipin (nu) increased from 0.05 to 0.20. The greater the content on the anionic lipid in the bilayer, the thicker the polymer film. The maximum number of polymer molecules adsorbed onto the liposomes was estimated: 1-2 molecules for nu = 0.05; 3 molecules for nu = 0.1; 4- molecules for nu = 0.15; and 6 molecules for nu = 0.2. The polymer appears to lie on the liposome surface, rather than embedding into the bilayer, because addition of NaCl easily dislodges the polymer from the liposome into the bulk water.     

Photodynamic activities of silicon phthalocyanines against achromic M6 melanoma cells and healthy human melanocytes and keratinocytes

Dichlorosilicon phthalocyanine (Cl2SiPc) and bis(tri-n-hexylsiloxy) silicon phthalocyanine (HexSiPc) have been evaluated in vitro as potential photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) against the human amelanotic melanoma cell line M6. Each photosensitizer is dissolved in a solvent-PBS mixture, or entrapped in egg-yolk lecithin liposomes or in Cremophor EL micelles. The cells are incubated for 1 h with the sensitizer and then irradiated for 20 min, 1 h or 2 h (lambda > 480 nm, 10 mW cm-2). The photocytotoxic effect is dependent on the photosensitizer concentration and the light dose. Higher phototoxicity is observed after an irradiation of 2 h: treatment with a solution of photosensitizer (2 x 10(-9) M) leads to 10% (HexSiPc in egg-yolk lecithin liposomes) or 20% (Cl2SiPc in DMF-PBS solution) cell viability. After 1 h incubation and 20 min of light exposure, the photodynamic effect is connected with the type of delivery system used. For HexSiPc, lower cell viability is found when this photosensitizer is entrapped in egg-yolk lecithin instead of solvent-PBS or for Cremophor EL micelles with Cl2SiPc. Liposome-delivered HexSiPc leads to lipid damage in M6 cells, illustrated by an increase of thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARs), but the change is not significant with Cremophor EL. The same is observed for the antioxidative defences after photodynamic stress. The cells irradiated with HexSiPc entrapped in liposomes display an increase of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and a decrease of glutathione (GSH) level, glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase (Cat) activities.
