l-ascorbic acid alkyl esters (ASCn) are molecules of pharmaceutical interest for their amphiphilic nature and proposed antioxidant power. In contrast to l-ascorbic acid, ASCn with different acyl chain lengths behaved stably ...

Ascorbyl palmitate (ASC16) is an anionic amphiphilicmolecule of pharmacological interest due to its antioxidant properties. We found that ASC16 strongly interacted with model membranes. ASC16 penetrated phospholipid ...

A comparative study of spread and adsorbed monolayer of poly(ethylene oxide)s of different molecular weight hydrophobically modified with alkyl isocyanates of different length chain is reported. The modification of the ...

Amiodarone (AMI) is a low water-solubility drug, which is very useful in the treatment of severe cardiac disease. Its adverse effects are associated with toxicity in different tissues. Several antioxidants have been shown ...

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are materials of wide applicability, either due to their physical stability, rigidity of the structure and/or high electrical conductivity. These nanotubes can be manipulated using different techniques, ...

In this study, we tested the hypothesis according to which chitosan reduces lipid digestion by blocking the access of lipases to ingested fat. Because lipase action takes place mostly at interfaces, we produced Langmuir ...

Sphingomyelins (SM) and phosphatidylcholines (PC) are major lipid classes in the external plasma membrane leaflet of mammalian cells. A preferential interaction between SM and cholesterol (Cho) in both cell and model ...
