Ionic liquids (ILs) are a relatively new class of organic electrolytes composed of an organic
cation and either an organic or inorganic anion, whose melting temperature falls around …

In recent years, research on ions and ionic interactions in solution has become a leading
scientific direction, and this advance has been especially pronounced in the field of ionic …

The continued emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms has severely depleted our
arsenal of effective antimicrobials. Ionic liquids (ILs) show great promise as antibacterial …

Here, we report the toxic effects of various imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with varying
hydrocarbon chain lengths, on different human cell lines. Multiple biological assays have …

Emerging antimicrobial resistance and spread of drug-resistant pathogens is currently-one
of the biggest threats posed to global health. Due to that, search of new antimicrobials …

The plasma membrane is one of the principal structural components of the cell and,
therefore, one of the key components of the cellular life. Because the membrane's dynamics …

While ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as prospective ingredients of new antimicrobial
agents, it is important to understand the adverse effects of these molecules on human cells …

Ionic liquids (ILs), although being a class of promising green solvents, have received many
reports on the toxicity to living organisms. In this work, aiming at elucidating the disruptive …

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) are a new class of organic salts whose melting
temperature falls below the conventional limit of 100° C. Their low vapor pressure …

Empirical evidence and conceptual elaboration reveal and rationalize the remarkable affinity
of organic ionic liquids for biomembranes. Cations of the so-called room-temperature ionic …
