The Impact of Micelle Formation on Surfactant Adsorption-Desorption.

ABSTRACT: The monomer-micelle equilibrium is shown to be responsible for an asymmetry between surfactant adsorption and desorption rates. When a solution containing micelles is brought into contact with a solid surface, the micelles dissociate to supply monomers that adsorb to the surface. When the same surface is subsequently exposed to a surfactant-free solution, desorption occurs slowly because of the higher affinity of the monomers to remain to the surface than to form micelles. As a result, the number of monomers that desorb is limited by the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactant. This effect is particularly pronounced for surfactants with low CMC values and in systems with high surface-to-volume ratios, such as porous media. A generic model is developed and applied to simulate the Ca²⁺-mediated adsorption and desorption of surfactants in limestone cores.

Micelle Formation inside Zeolites: A Critical Step in Zeolite Surfactant-Templating Observed by Raman Microspectroscopy.

Project description:Micelle formation inside faujasite (FAU) zeolite, a critical step in the introduction of mesoporosity in zeolites by surfactant templating, has been confirmed by both 13C NMR and Raman spectroscopy. Here we provide unambiguous evidence of the incorporation of surfactant molecules inside zeolites during the first step of the surfactant-templating process followed by their self-assembly into micelles after hydrothermal treatment. The homogeneous presence of these micelles throughout zeolite crystals has been directly observed by Raman microspectroscopy, confirming the uniform incorporation of mesoporosity in zeolites by surfactant templating.

A surfactant-stripped cabazitaxel micelle formulation optimized with accelerated storage stability.

Project description:Pluronic (Poloxomer) micelles can solubilize cabazitaxel (CTX), a second-generation taxane, and then be subjected to low-temperature "surfactant-stripping" to selectively remove loose and free surfactant, thereby increasing the drug-to-surfactant ratio. We previously found that the addition of certain other co-loaded hydrophobic cargo to the micelles can result in stabilized, surfactant-stripped cabazitaxel (sss-CTX) micelles, which resist drug aggregation in aqueous storage, a common challenge for taxanes. Here, we show that elevated temperatures can accelerate the aggregation of sss-CTX micelles, thereby enabling rapid optimization of formulations with respect to the type and ratio of co-loader used for stabilization. A sss-CTX micelle formulation was developed using mifepristone as the co-loader, at a 60% mass ratio to the CTX. Drug release, hemolysis and complement activation were investigated in vitro. Microtubule stabilization and in vitro cytotoxicity were similar for sss-CTX and a conventional Tween-80 micelle formulation. In vivo pharmacokinetics also revealed similar blood circulation of the two formulations. In subcutaneous Lewis lung carcinoma tumors, as well as in an aggressive mouse model of malignant pleural effusion, sss-CTX showed a similar therapeutic effect as the Tween-80 based formulation. Altogether, these data show that sss-CTX can achieve similar efficacy as conventional Tween-80 formulations, albeit with substantially higher drug-to-surfactant ratio and with capability of extended aqueous storage.

Surfactant Self-Assembling and Critical Micelle Concentration: One Approach Fits All?

Project description:Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is the main chemical-physical parameter to be determined for pure surfactants for their characterization in terms of surface activity and self-assembled aggregation. The CMC values can be calculated from different techniques (e.g., tensiometry, conductivity, fluorescence spectroscopy), able to follow the variation of a physical property with surfactant concentrations. Different mathematical approaches have been applied for the determination of CMC values from the raw experimental data. Most of them are independent of the operator, despite not all of the fitting procedures employed so far can be applied in all techniques. In this experimental work, the second derivative of the experimental data has been proposed as a unique approach to determine the CMC values from different techniques (tensiometry, conductimetry, densimetry, spectrofluorimetry, and high-resolution ultrasound spectroscopy). To this end, the CMC values of five different surfactants, specifically three anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium deoxycolate, and N-lauroyl sarcosinate) and two nonionic, such as polyethylene glycol ester surfactants [polyethylenglicol (8) monostearate and polyethylenglicol (8) monolaurate], have been determined by this approach. The "second-derivate" approach provides a reliable determination of the CMC values among all of the techniques investigated, which were comparable to those calculated by the other operator-free routinely methods employed, such as segmental linear regression or Boltzmann regression. This study also highlighted the strengths and shortcomings of each technique over the others, providing an overview of the CMC values of commonly used anionic and nonionic surfactants in the pharmaceutical field, determined by employing different experimental approaches.

Ciprofloxacin and Trimethoprim Adsorption/Desorption in Agricultural Soils.

Project description:The current research focuses on the adsorption/desorption characteristics of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and trimethoprim (TRI) taking place in 17 agricultural soils, which are studied by means of batch-type experiments. The results show that adsorption was higher for CIP, with Freundlich KF values ranging between 1150 and 5086 Ln µmol1-n kg-1, while they were between 29 and 110 Ln µmol1-n kg-1 in the case of TRI. Other parameters, such as the Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity (qm(ads)), as well as the Kd parameter in the linear model and also the adsorption percentages, follow the same trend as KF. Desorption was lower for CIP (with KF(des) values in the range 1089-6234 Ln µmol1-n kg-1) than for TRI (with KF(des) ranging between 26 and 138 Ln µmol1-n kg-1). The higher irreversibility of CIP adsorption was also confirmed by its lower nF(des)/nF(ads) ratios, compared to TRI. Regarding soil characteristics, it was evidenced that nitrogen and carbon contents, as well as mineral fractions, had the highest influence on the adsorption/desorption process. These results can be considered relevant as regards the fate of both antibiotics when they reach the environment as pollutants and therefore could be considered in assessment procedures focused on environmental and public health aspects.

Prevention of MDR development in leukemia cells by micelle-forming polymeric surfactant.

Project description:Doxorubicin (Dox) incorporated in nanosized polymeric micelles, SP1049C, has shown promise as monotherapy in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma. The formulation contains amphiphilic block copolymers, Pluronics, that exhibit the unique ability to chemosensitize multidrug resistant (MDR) tumors by inhibiting P-glycoprotein (Pgp) drug efflux system and enhancing pro-apoptotic signaling in cancer cells. This work evaluates whether a representative block copolymer, Pluronic P85 (P85) can also prevent development of Dox-induced MDR in leukemia cells. For in vitro studies murine lymphocytic leukemia cells (P388) were exposed to increasing concentrations of Dox with/without P85. For in vivo studies, BDF1 mice bearing P388 ascite were treated with Dox or Dox/P85. The selected P388 cell sublines and ascitic tumor-derived cells were characterized for Pgp expression and functional activity (RT-PCR, Western Blot, rhodamine 123 accumulation) as well as Dox resistance (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay). The global gene expression was determined by oligonucleotide gene microarrays. We demonstrated that P85 prevented development of MDR1 phenotype in leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo as determined by Pgp expression and functional assays of the selected cells. Cells selected with Dox in the presence of P85 in vitro and in vivo exhibited some increases in IC(50) values compared to parental cells, but these values were much less than IC(50) in respective cells selected with the drug alone. In addition to mdr1, P85 abolished alterations of genes implicated in apoptosis, drug metabolism, stress response, molecular transport and tumorigenesis. In conclusion, Pluronic formulation can prevent development of MDR in leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Trisiloxane Surfactant Adsorption and Aggregation Processes.

Project description:The trisiloxane polyether surfactant (3-[3-(hydroxy)(polyethoxy)propyl]-1,1,1,3,5,5,5 -heptamethyltrisiloxane) (TS-EO12) was successfully synthesized by a hydrosilylation reaction in the presence of Karstedt catalyst. The structural analysis of the surfactant was done by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 29Si-NMR and FT-IR analysis. In addition the thermal stability of TS-EO12 was studied by the thermogravimetric measurements. On the one hand the surface properties of TS-EO12 at the water-air interface were investigated by surfactant aqueous solutions surface tension measurements carried out at 293 K, 303 K and 313 K, and on the other the aggregation properties were analyzed based on the solubilization properties of TS-EO12 aggregates at different temperatures. On the basis of the obtained thermodynamic parameters of adsorption and micellization of studied surfactant the temperature impact on its surface and volume properties were deduced. It was proved that the tendency of the studied surfactant molecules to adsorb at the water-air interface and to form micelles weakens with decreasing temperature. It was also concluded that the structure of the adsorption layer changes with temperature. Optical microscopy measurements were used for the TS-EO12 micelle morphology determination.

Film growth, adsorption and desorption kinetics of indigo on SiO2.

Project description:Organic dyes have recently been discovered as promising semiconducting materials, attributable to the formation of hydrogen bonds. In this work, the adsorption and desorption behavior, as well as thin film growth was studied in detail for indigo molecules on silicon dioxide with different substrate treatments. The material was evaporated onto the substrate by means of physical vapor deposition under ultra-high vacuum conditions and was subsequently studied by Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy (TDS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, and Atomic Force Microscopy. TDS revealed initially adsorbed molecules to be strongly bonded on a sputter cleaned surface. After further deposition a formation of dimers is suggested, which de-stabilizes the bonding mechanism to the substrate and leads to a weakly bonded adsorbate. The dimers are highly mobile on the surface until they get incorporated into energetically favourable three-dimensional islands in a dewetting process. The stronger bonding of molecules within those islands could be shown by a higher desorption temperature. On a carbon contaminated surface no strongly bonded molecules appeared initially, weakly bonded monomers rather rearrange into islands at a surface coverage that is equivalent to one third of a monolayer of flat-lying molecules. The sticking coefficient was found to be unity on both substrates. The desorption energies from carbon covered silicon dioxide calculated to 1.67 ± 0.05 eV for multilayer desorption from the islands and 0.84 ± 0.05 eV for monolayer desorption. Corresponding values for desorption from a sputter cleaned surface are 1.53 ± 0.05 eV for multilayer and 0.83 ± 0.05 eV for monolayer desorption.

Molecular dynamics simulation of lysozyme adsorption/desorption on hydrophobic surfaces.

Project description:In this work, we present a series of fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study lysozyme's orientation-dependent adsorption on polyethylene (PE) surface in explicit water. The simulations show that depending on the orientation of the initial approach to the surface the protein may adsorb or bounce from the surface. The protein may completely leave the surface or reorient and approach the surface resulting in adsorption. The success of the trajectory to adsorb on the surface is the result of different competing interactions, including protein-surface interactions and the hydration of the protein and the hydrophobic PE surface. The difference in the hydration of various protein sites affects the protein's orientation-dependent behavior. Side-on orientation is most likely to result in adsorption as the protein-surface exhibits the strongest attraction. However, adsorption can also happen when lysozyme's longest axis is tilted on the surface if the protein-surface interaction is large enough to overcome the energy barrier that results from dehydrating both the protein and the surface. Our study demonstrates the significant role of dehydration process on hydrophobic surface during protein adsorption.

Adsorption-desorption nano-aptasensors: fluorescent screening assays for ochratoxin A.

Project description:In this study, a FRET-based fluorescent aptasensor for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) was optimized based on the quenching efficiency of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and the binding affinity of aptamers. OTA aptamers were conjugated with quantum dots and adsorbed to the surface of both acid-modified and unmodified SWCNTs. The maximum fluorescence quenching efficiency of the SWCNTs were compared. Acid-modified SWCNTs (amSWCNTs) have moderate quenching efficiency, providing an optimal sensitivity for qualitative fluorescence-enhancement biosensor assays. The binding parameters of the QD-modified OTA aptamers (1.12.2 and A08min) on the surface of amSWCNTs were compared. Based on our results, the A08min aptamer is a better candidate for OTA detection. Using the A08min aptamer, the SWCNT method had a limit of detection (LOD) of 40 nM. The amSWCNT method had a significantly lower LOD of 14 nM. Turn-on fluorescent nano-aptasensors are emerging as an effective diagnostic tool for simple detection of mycotoxins. Nanocomplexes designed for the detection of mycotoxins in solution and paper-based tests have proven to be useful.
