Bile acids are a special group of biological surfactants which can express different
physiological and pharmacological effects. Micellar solutions of bile acids can solubilizate …

Micellisation process for sodium dodecyl sulphate and sodium cholate in 1∶ 1 molar ratio
was investigated in a combined approach, including several experimental methods and …

Background The special geometry of the steroid skeleton causes that bile acid anions, in
contrast to aliphatic amphiphiles, form micelles with a small aggregation number. Methods …

Doxorubicin-loaded micelles were prepared from a copolymer comprising cholic acid (CA)
and polyethyleneimine (PEI) for the delivery of antitumor drugs. The CA-PEI copolymer was …

The objective of this work was to study the effect of structure of bile acids on their
membranolytic potential and extent of overlapping of the information about the …

Bile acids, a group of steroidal acids present in the bile act as biological surfactants and
ligands for bile acid transporter proteins for signalling molecules to perform various …

The objective of this study was to study the effect of four different bile salts, cholate (C),
deoxycholate (DC), taurocholate (TC), monoketocholate (MKC), on the membrane binding of …

The objective of this study was to understand the prolonged analgesic action of morphine
hydrochloride observed in the presence of sodium 12-oxochenodeoxycholanate. Based on …

Measurements of the fluorescence intensity of 1, 6-diphenylhexatriene (DPH) as a probe
molecule allowed the determination of critical micellar concentrations (CMCs) for 30 bile …

Critical micellear concentrations (CMC) were determined for two novel promoters of
membrane permeability—7-monoketocholic acid (7-MKC) and 12-monoketocholic acid (12 …
