Theranostic applications of fluorescent liquid crystalline nanoparticles
… In this optic, we explored the potential of monoolein-based cubosomes and hexosomes as nanocarriers for theranostic purposes. Our work focussed on the design of lipid nanoparticles able to deliver antineoplastic drugs and imaging probes for fluorescent optical in vitro and in vivo imaging. We …

Interfacial cationic polymerization and its application in microencapsulation
… the adsorption of a surface active agent (α-monoolein) from n-heptane solution onto the surface of the three drug crystals used in this study (KCI, β-estradiol and 5-aminosalicylic acid) to form a hydroxylated (polar) surface which was able to complex an appropriate cationic catalyst, BF₃ (C₂ …

Nanostructures for protection and vehiculation of bioactive molecules
… 3 reports on two different formulations where monoolein, a natural monoglyceride, and lauroylcholine chloride are the main components. Finally, Chapter 4 presents a third formulation: a water-in-oil emulsion stabilized by a liquid crystalline lamellar phase consisting of a technical grade soy …

Colloidal properties of sugar particle dispersions in food oils with relevance to chocolate processing
… polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) or monoolein, were used to alter the interactions between the hydrophilic sugar particles. In a dispersion of 70 wt% sugar and 0.3% of lecithin, approximately 30-40% of the emulsifier present was found to be adsorbed at the surface of the sugar …

Conversion of triacylglycerols into monoacylglycerols by penicillium roquefortii
… gave 1 (3)monostearin rather than the expected 2-monoolein when Shea oil was the substrate. It suggested that acyl migration occurred due to the reactive nature of the original oleate group at the sn-2 position in the Shea oil TAGs. There were no significant differences with fungal strain or …

Mesophase-based approaches for on-chip membrane protein crystallization and structure determination
Transmembrane proteins traverse the lipid bilayers of cell membranes and play a highly important role in many processes in vivo. Malfunctions of membrane proteins have been shown to cause a variety of disease states, for example, cystic fibrosis, hereditary hearing loss, and hypothyroidism. …

Manipulating lipid mesostructure using hard and soft material additives
Lipids are biological amphiphilic molecules that at their most basic level form a simple but important structural framework for cells. Lipids have recently increasingly been viewed as complex and active components of biological systems, but the majority of research continues to focus on biological …
