Abstract:
Amphiphilic compounds are used in a variety of applications due to their lyotropic liquid-crystalline phase formation, however only a limited number of compounds, in a potentially limitless field, are currently in use. A library of organic amphiphilic compounds was synthesised consisting of glucose, galactose, lactose, xylose and mannose head groups and double and triple-chain hydrophobic tails. A modular, high-throughput approach was developed, whereby head and tail components were conjugated using the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The tails were synthesised from two core alkyne-tethered intermediates, which were subsequently functionalised with hydrocarbon chains varying in length and degree of unsaturation and branching, while the five sugar head groups were selected with ranging substitution patterns and anomeric linkages. A library of 80 amphiphiles was subsequently produced, using a 24-vial array, with the majority formed in very good to excellent yields. A preliminary assessment of the liquid-crystalline phase behaviour is also presented.

Abstract:
In this approach, tensiometry and UV-visible techniques are used to determine the effect of cationic gemini and conventional surfactants on tetracaine hydrochloride (TCH), an anesthetic drug. We have estimated micellar, interfacial, and energetic constraints. To gain a deep understanding of their mixed association behavior, the outputs were examined using different theoretical models. The critical micelle concentration for single and mixed amphiphiles was estimated. The cmc values of mixed amphiphiles were found between the individual amphiphiles due to strong attractive interaction (synergism) between the components after mixing. The non-ideal behavior of mixtures was confirmed by the larger values of ideal cmc than the experimental cmc values. The negative values of interaction parameter (β) and values of activity coefficients less than unity indicate strong synergistic interaction between drug and surfactant. The stability of the mixed systems is demonstrated by the negative Gibbs free energy of micellization and excess free energy of micellization. In contrast to a single chain surfactant, a double chain surfactant (gemini) exhibits better interactions with the drug. Spectral measurements (UV-visible spectra) were used to monitor the binding of the drug with surfactant (conventional as well as gemini). Studying these mixed aggregates could help to optimize their compositions and find synergistic properties between TCH monomers and surfactants.

Abstract:
Their stability and low cost make catanionic vesicles suitable for application as drug delivery systems. In this work we prepared catanionic vesicles using biocompatible surfactants: two cationic arginine-based surfactants (the monocatenary Nα-lauroyl-arginine methyl ester—LAM and the gemini Nα,Nϖ-bis(Nα-lauroylarginine) α, ϖ-propylendiamide—C3(CA)2) and three anionic amphiphiles (the single chain sodium dodecanoate, sodium myristate, and the double chain 8-SH). The critical aggregation concentration, colloidal stability, size, and charge density of these systems were comprehensively studied for the first time. These catanionic vesicles, which form spontaneously after mixing two aqueous solutions of oppositely charged surfactants, exhibited a monodisperse population of medium-size aggregates and good stability. The antimicrobial and hemolytic activity of the vesicles can be modulated by changing the cationic/anionic surfactant ratio. Vesicles with a positive charge efficiently killed Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as yeasts; the antibacterial activity declined with the decrease of the cationic charge density. The catanionic systems also effectively eradicated MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Interestingly, the incorporation of cholesterol in the catanionic mixtures improved the stability of these colloidal systems and considerably reduced their cytotoxicity without affecting their antimicrobial activity. Additionally, these catanionic vesicles showed good DNA affinity. Their antimicrobial efficiency and low hemolytic activity render these catanionic vesicles very promising candidates for biomedical applications.

Abstract:
Double-chain amphiphilic compounds, including surfactants and lipids, have broad significance in applications like personal care and biology. A study on the phase structures and their transitions focusing on dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride (DODAC), used inter alia in hair conditioners, is presented. The phase behaviour is dominated by two bilayer lamellar phases, Lβ and Lα, with “solid” and “melted” alkyl chains, respectively. In particular, the study is focused on the effect of additives of different polarity on the phase transitions and structures. The main techniques used for investigation were differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS). From the WAXS reflections, the distance between the alkyl chains in the bilayers was obtained, and from SAXS, the thicknesses of the surfactant and water layers. The Lα phase was found to have a bilayer structure, generally found for most surfactants; a Lβ phase made up of bilayers with considerable chain tilting and interdigitation was also identified. Depending mainly on the polarity of the additives, their effects on the phase stabilities and structure vary. Compounds like urea have no significant effect, while fatty acids and fatty alcohols have significant effects, but which are quite different depending on the nonpolar part. In most cases, Lβ and Lα phases exist over wide composition ranges; certain additives induce transitions to other phases, which include cubic, reversed hexagonal liquid crystals and bicontinuous liquid phases. For a system containing additives, which induce a significant lowering of the Lβ–Lα transition, we identified the possibility of a triggered phase transition via dilution with water.

Abstract:
The introduction of α-helical structure with a specific helix–helix interaction into an amphipathic molecule enables the determination of the molecular packing in the assembly and the morphological control of peptide assemblies. We previously reported that the amphiphilic polypeptide SL12 with a polysarcosine (PSar) hydrophilic chain and hydrophobic α-helix (l-Leu-Aib)6 involving the LxxxLxxxL sequence, which induces homo-dimerization due to the concave–convex interaction, formed a nanotube with a uniform 80 nm diameter. In this study, we investigated the importance of the LxxxLxxxL sequence for tube formation by comparing amphiphilic polypeptide SL4A4L4 with hydrophobic α-helix (l-Leu-Aib)2-(l-Ala-Aib)2-(l-Leu-Aib)2 and SL12. SL4A4L4 formed spherical vesicles and micelles. The effect of the LxxxLxxxL sequence elongation on tube formation was demonstrated by studying assemblies of PSar-b-(l-Ala-Aib)-(l-Leu-Aib)6-(l-Ala-Aib) (SA2L12A2) and PSar-b-(l-Leu-Aib)8 (SL16). SA2L12A2 formed nanotubes with a uniform 123 nm diameter, while SL16 assembled into vesicles. These results showed that LxxxLxxxL is a necessary and sufficient sequence for the self-assembly of nanotubes. Furthermore, we fabricated a double-layer nanotube by combining two kinds of nanotubes with 80 and 120 nm diameters—SL12 and SA2L12A2. When SA2L12A2 self-assembled in SL12 nanotube dispersion, SA2L12A2 initially formed a rolled sheet, the sheet then wrapped the SL12 nanotube, and a double-layer nanotube was obtained.

Abstract:
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 copolymers. This study explored the potential of using Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) technology to design amphiphilic brush-type polymers for the purpose of stabilising phytantriol and monoolein-based lipid dispersions. The synthesised brush-type polymers consisted of a hydrophobic C12 short chain and a hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether acrylate (PEGA) long chain with multiple 9-unit poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) brushes with various molecular weights. It was observed that increasing the PEO brush density and thus the length of the hydrophilic component improved the stabilisation effectiveness for phytantriol and monoolein-based cubosomes. Synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments confirmed that the RAFT polymer-stabilised cubosomes had an internal double-diamond cubic phase with tunable water channel sizes. These properties were dependent on the molecular weight of the polymers, which were considered in some cases to be anisotropically distributed within the cubosomes. The in vitro toxicity of the cubosomes was assessed by cell viability of two human adenocarcinoma cell lines and haemolytic activities to mouse erythrocytes. The results showed that phytantriol cubosomes stabilised by the RAFT polymers were less toxic compared to their Pluronic F127-stabilised analogues. This study provides valuable insight into designing non-linear amphiphilic polymers for the effective stabilisation and cellular toxicity improvement of self-assembled lipid lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles.

Abstract:
Alkylresorcinols (∑ARs) are bioactive lipid compounds predominantly found in cereals. These amphiphilic compounds exist in a high structural diversity and can be divided into two main groups, i.e., 5-alkylresorcinols (ARs) and 2-methyl-5-alkylresorcinols (mARs). The pseudocereal quinoa has a very unique AR profile, consisting not only of straight-chain alkyl chains but also iso- and anteiso-branched isomers. Here, we describe a method for the isolation of such methyl-branched ARs and mARs from quinoa. The enrichment of the ∑AR fraction from the lipid extracts by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) was followed by ∑AR profiling using countercurrent chromatography (CCC) and GC/MS analysis of CCC fractions. A total of 112 ∑ARs could be detected, 63 of which had not been previously described in quinoa. Due to this high number of ∑ARs, the direct isolation of individual ARs was not possible using conventional CCC. Instead, the more powerful heart-cut mode was applied to enrich the target compounds. A final purification step—the separation of CCC-co-eluting mARs from ARs —was performed via silver ion chromatography. Altogether, ten rare branched-chain ∑ARs (five iso-branched mARs and five anteiso-branched ARs, including mAR19:0-i and AR20:0-a) were isolated with purities up to 98% in the double-digit mg range.

Abstract:
Deterioration caused by corrosion is well known, which can destroy metallic and non-metallic materials alike. Dissolved inhibitors of bionic micro- and nanocoatings can decrease the degree of undesirable corrosion in various ways. In this paper, a self-assembled molecular layer formed from undecenyl phosphonic acid developed on two different steel surfaces was the subject of our experiments. The influence of the metal composition, layer-forming conditions and post-heat treatment was documented by wettability measurements as well as surface roughness parameters; the change in surface morphology caused by the formation of a layer in addition to post-heat treatment was visualized by an atomic force microscope (AFM); and infrared spectroscopy elucidated the bindings of the amphiphilic molecules involved in the self-assembled layer to the metal surface as well as to each other. Over the course of the self-assembling process, the –P(O)(OH)2 head groups can fix the amphiphilic molecule to the solid surface through the metal oxide-hydroxide layer. The hydrophobic alkenyl chains remain together as a result of special forces, namely hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, between them. The double bond at the end of the alkenyl chain disturbs how well the layer is ordered. To improve the homogeneity of the molecular layer and increase its level of compactness, the self-assembled molecular (SAM) layer was heat treated to achieve a more compact molecular film that can perfectly cover the metal surface.

Abstract:
The spontaneous aggregation of amphiphilic molecules into ordered structures plays an important role in many biological and chemical systems. The stereochemistry of headgroups and their interaction in the mixed systems strongly influence the size and shape of the formed membranous aggregates .Upon cooling of the aqueous solution, containing D-Glu-8, micellar fibers of at least bimolecular diameter (4 nm) are formed and then converted within seconds into complex helical ropes of uniform screw sense. The preliminary structure, identified as a double stranded helix, could be detected by EM (a) after stabilisation in the presence of 2% phosphotungstic acid (Fig.1) and (b) using frozen hydrated specimens (Fig.2), which were prepared under controlled environment conditions at 60°C before plunging into liquid ethane. Small differences in the size and shape of the fibers, which were confirmed by image analysis, were traced back to adsorption effects on the carbon film and can be neglected, if frozen hydrated specimens are used.In an equimolar mixture of gluconamides, differentiated in the chain length, the formation of fibers is retarded and intermediate structures, such as micellar clusters are detectable (Fig.3). Racemic mixtures of hexonamides usually produce bilayer platelets (“Chiral Bilayer Effect”); if the enantiomers are again differentiated in the chain length, a spontaneous racemate resolution is observed (Fig.4, left-(M) and right-(P)handed helices!) and the formation of platelets (Fig.5) is retarded.

Abstract:
The crystal structure of the natural nonapeptide antibiotic helioferin has been determined and refined to 0.9 Å resolution. Helioferin consists of helioferin A and B, which contain 2-(2′-aminopropyl)aminoethanol (Apae) and 2-[(2′-aminopropyl)methylamino]ethanol (Amae) at their respective alkanolamine termini. In addition, helioferin contains the unusual amino-acid residues α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) and (2S,4S,6S)-2-amino-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-8-oxodecanoic acid (Ahmod). The amino-terminus is capped with 2-methyl-n-1-octanoic acid (M8a). The peptide crystallizes with a 1:1 molar ratio of helioferin A and B in the monoclinic space groupC2, with unit-cell parametersa= 34.711,b= 10.886,c= 17.150 Å, β = 93.05°. The peptide backbone folds in a regular right-handed α-helical conformation, with eight intramolecular hydrogen bonds, all but one forming 5→1 interactions. The two aliphatic chains of the fatty-acyl (M8a) and the second residue (Ahmod) extend out of the α-helical structure in opposite directions and lead to a corkscrew-like shape of the peptide molecule. Halogen anions (Cl−and F−) have been co-crystallized with the peptide molecules, implying a positive charge at the aminoalcohol end of the peptide. In the tightly packed crystal the helices are linked head to tailviathe anions by electrostatic, hydrogen-bond and van der Waals interactions, forming continuous helical rods. Two nonparallel rods (forming an angle of 118°) interact directlyviahydrogen bonds andviathe anions, forming a double layer. Successive double layers are held together onlyviavan der Waals contacts. The helical axes of successive double layers are also related by an angle of 118°. The structure of helioferin reported here and the previously determined structure of the homologous leucinostatin A have a total straight length of about 21 Å, indicating a different membrane-modifying bioactivity from that of long-chain, amphiphilic peptaibols.
