This work reports that cationic micelles formed by trimeric, tetrameric, and hexameric surfactants bearing amide moieties in spacers can efficiently kill Gram-negative E. coli with a very low minimum inhibitory concentration (1.70-0.93 μM), do not cause obvious toxicity to mammalian cells at the concentrations used. With increase of oligomerization degree, antibacterial activity oligomeric increases, i.e., surfactant > tetrameric trimeric surfactant. Isothermal titration microcalorimetry,...
A star-shaped hexameric quaternary ammonium surfactant (PAHB), bearing six hydrophobic chains and charged hydrophilic headgroups connected by an amide-type spacer group, was synthesized. The self-assembly behavior of the in aqueous solution studied surface tension, electrical conductivity, isothermal titration microcalorimetry, dynamic light scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, NMR techniques. results reveal that there are two critical aggregate concentrations during...
Despite efficacious antimicrobial activity, cationic oligomeric surfactants show strong skin irritation potential due to their larger charge numbers and multiple hydrophobic chains. This work reports that the incorporation of α-, β-, γ-CDs with different cavity sizes can effectively improve mildness ammonium trimeric surfactant DTAD a star-shaped spacer while maintaining its high antibacterial activity. On basis CDs asymmetry in DTAD, CD/DTAD mixtures form α-CD@DTAD, 2α-CD@DTAD, β-CD@DTAD,...
Two star-like trimeric cationic surfactants with amide groups in spacers, tri(dodecyldimethylammonioacetoxy)diethyltriamine trichloride (DTAD) and tri(dodecyldimethylammonioacetoxy)tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (DDAD), have been synthesized, the aggregation behavior of aqueous solution has investigated by surface tension, electrical conductivity, isothermal titration microcalorimetry, dynamic light scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, NMR techniques. Typically, both form...
A cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)-based star-like system with high transfection efficacy for synergistic delivery of miRNAs and chemotherapeutic drugs has been reported.
Microbial infections have become a great threat to human health and one of the main risks arises from direct contact with surfaces contaminated by pathogenic microbes. Herein, kind hexagonal column interpenetrated spheres (HCISs) are fabricated non-covalent assembly plant gallic acid quaternary ammonium surfactants. Different one-time burst release conventional antimicrobial agents, HCIS acts like "antimicrobial molecular bank" releases ingredients in multistage way, leading long-lasting...
The surface structure of the trimeric surfactant tri(dodecyldimethylammonioacetoxy)diethyltriamine trichloride (DTAD) on mica and interactions between two such DTAD-coated surfaces were determined using atomic force microscopy a balance. In an aqueous solution 3 mM, 5 times critical aggregation concentration (CAC), are coated with wormlike micelles or hemimicelles larger (∼80 nm) bilayer vesicles. Repulsive normal indicate net charge ions close to that expected from CAC. Moreover, this...
The detection of mitochondrial Cu2+ and cysteine is very important for investigating cellular functions or dysfunctions. In this study, we designed a novel cyclometalated iridium(iii) luminescence chemosensor Ir bearing bidentate chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine ligand as copper-specific receptor. biocompatible photostable complex exhibited not only mitochondria-targeting properties but also an "on-off-on" type phosphorescence change the reversible dual cysteine. had highly sensitive (detection...
The effects of anionic surfactants on the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature cationic M-silole molecules have been studied. electrostatic binding with greatly promotes aggregation mixtures. M-silole/surfactant aggregates at 1:1 charge ratio exhibit maximum fluorescence intensity. Excess surfactant will distribute into different micelles and weaken fluorescence. intensity mixed can be effectively modulated by choosing surfactants. gemini display a much stronger ability enhancing than...
Our study investigated the physiological and biochemical basis for effects of exogenous phenolic acids on function photosynthetic apparatus electron transport rate in strawberry seedlings. Potted seedlings (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) were used. Syringic acid inhibited net water-use efficiency decreased. Additionally, primary quinone acceptor PSII reaction centre, centre oxygen evolving complex also impaired. Both maximum quantum yield photochemistry performance index absorption depressed,...
Mercury ion (Hg2+) is one of the most toxic heavy metal ions and lowering detection limit Hg2+ always a challenge in analytical chemistry environmental analysis.
