General description

The temperature−composition phase diagram of phytantriol/water mixtures is qualitatively similar to that of aqueous glycerol monooleate so its stability makes it an interesting alternative to exploit various applications of the cubic liquid crystalline phases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phytantriol is a majorly used ingredient in skin and hair based cosmetics. It is viscous and enhances penetration of amino acids and vitamin components of cosmetics. It is structurally stable than glyceryl monooleate (GMO). Phytantriol in combination with the polymer (F127) and a hydrotrope (propyleneglycol) is used in the preparation of cubosomes for protein or vaccine delivery.

Different delivery strategies to improve the immunogenicity of peptide/protein-based vaccines are currently under investigation. In this study, the preparation and physicochemical characterisation of cubosomes, a novel lipid-based particulate system currently being explored for vaccine delivery, was investigated. Cubosomes were prepared
