Inverse hexagonal and cubic micellar lyotropic liquid crystalline phase behaviour of novel double chain sugar-based amphiphiles
2017
Abstract The lyotropic phase behaviour of a library of sugar-based amphiphiles was investigated using high-throughput small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Double unsaturated-chain monosaccharide amphiphiles formed inverse hexagonal and cubic micellar (Fd3m) lyotropic phases under excess water conditions. A galactose-oleyl amphiphile from the library was subsequently formulated into hexosome nanoparticles, which have potential uses as drug delivery vehicles. The nanoparticles were shown to be stable at elevated temperatures and non-cytotoxic up to at least 200 μg mL −1 .
