Application


  • Effects induced by η(6)-p-cymene ruthenium(II) complexes on Langmuir monolayers mimicking cancer and healthy cell membranes do not correlate with their toxicity.: This study explores the impact of η(6)-p-cymene ruthenium(II) complexes on Langmuir monolayers, including 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), to model cancer and healthy cell membranes, revealing insights into membrane interactions and cytotoxicity mechanisms (Wrobel et al., 2024).

  • Interaction of L-phenylalanine with carbonyl groups in mixed lipid membranes.: This research examines the interaction of L-phenylalanine with carbonyl groups in mixed lipid membranes, incorporating DPPC, to understand the role of amino acids in membrane dynamics and stability (Brandan et al., 2024).

  • Spatial Arrangement of the Drug Ibuprofen in a Model Membrane in the Presence of Lipid Rafts.: The study investigates the spatial arrangement of ibuprofen within a model membrane containing lipid rafts, with DPPC as a component, shedding light on drug-membrane interactions and the role of lipid rafts in drug delivery (Kashnik et al., 2024).

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the delivery of photocytotoxic agents to a target tissue, followed by irradiation. In order to increase the efficiency of PDT in oesophageal cancer therapy, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted, transferrin (Tf)-conjugated liposome formulations of 5,10,15,20-tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (Foscan)
