Abstract
Gemini surfactants exhibit better adsorption and aggregation properties than those of monomeric surfactants. However, to enhance the functional properties of gemini surfactants, the effect of spacer structures on their aggregation behavior must be elucidated. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) has been performed to study the aggregate structures of monomeric surfactants, but its application has not been expanded to the analysis of gemini surfactants. Therefore, in this study, we performed a structural analysis of aggregates formed by quaternary ammonium salt-based gemini surfactants with different spacer structures in aqueous solutions through viscosity, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and SAXS measurements. We also investigated the effects of the spacer structure and surfactant concentration on the aggregation behavior. The DLS results indicated that gemini surfactants with spacers containing cyclic structures, such as diethylene and triethylene chains, formed small micelles (several nanometers in size) at the limiting concentration for dissolution in water. In contrast, gemini surfactants with nitrogen and oxygen atoms at the center of the spacer formed ellipsoidal micelles at low concentrations, as shown by SAXS results. The core and overall radii of the minor and major axes of the ellipsoidal micelles decreased with increasing surfactant concentration and were larger for spacers with two ethylene chains connected to central nitrogen and oxygen atoms than for spacers with rigid diethylene and ethylene chains connected to a central nitrogen atom.

Abstract
Herein, we report a straightforward synthesis of azaylide-based gemini amphiphiles using bis(diphenylphosphino)alkanes via the Staudinger reaction. The prepared gemini amphiphiles exhibited an even-odd effect in their self-assembly behavior depending on the length of the alkyl linkers. Furthermore, the assembled micelles had high host capability toward hydrophobic guests in water.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gemini surfactants (GS) are an elite class of amphiphilic molecules that have shown up as a potential candidate in the field of drug delivery because of their exceptional physicochemical properties. They comprise two hydrophilic headgroups connected by an adaptable spacer and hydrophobic tails that has shown promising results in delivering different therapeutic agents to cancer cells at preclinical level. However further studies are in demand to unlock the full potential of GS in this field. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the new advancements in GS as drug carriers in cancer therapy, their capacity to overcome conventional shortcomings and the demand for innovative approaches in disease treatment. A detailed list of GS-based formulations along with a brief description on oligomeric surfactants have also been provided in this review. This article summarizes data from studies identified through literature database searches including PubMed and Google Scholar (2010-2023). EXPERT OPINION There are major challenges that need to be addressed in this field which restrict their progression toward clinical phase. Further research can focus on developing a theranostic system that can provide simultaneous real-time monitoring along with treatment care. Nevertheless, ensuring the safety parameters of these nanocarriers followed by their regulatory approval is a time-consuming and expensive process. A collaborative approach between regulatory bodies, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies can speed up the process in the upcoming years.

Abstract
A model expressing the relationship between the logarithm of critical micelle concentration of cationic star-shaped trimeric surfactants and topological indices was obtained using only molecular connectivity indices. Based on the obtained model, the exemplary compound most active in micelle formation was designed. The analysis of the influence of various structural factors on the value of the critical micelle concentration was supported by atomic charge studies. The obtained model will be used to design new star-shaped trimeric surfactants that are more active in formation of micelle as well as to predict their critical micelle concentration.

Abstract
The partition constants (p-values) of primary alcohols in solutions containing aggregates of symmetric gemini surfactants of the family N,N'-dimethyl, N-dialkyl-α,ω-alkanediammonium dibromide (m-s-m = symmetric gemini surfactants) have been computed from the measured values of their diffusion coefficients obtained from NMR-diffusion experiments. From the p-values, both mole-fraction and concentration-based partition coefficients and Gibbs energies of transfer for the alcohols from the bulk D2O phase to the gemini aggregate phase have been calculated. As expected, the Gibbs energy of transfer decreased linearly with an increase in the alcohol carbon length for each of the primary alcohol/gemini amphiphile series studied. The Gibbs transfer energy increment per CH2 for the alcohols was consistent for all the alcohol/gemini amphiphile series and was in excellent agreement with the values measured for the same primary alcohol series in conventional single-headed, single-tailed surfactants. Surprisingly, the partition coefficients of the alcohols in the symmetric gemini aggregates exhibited little, if any, dependence on the spacer length of the gemini amphiphiles and were remarkably consistent as the length of the main surfactant chain increased at constant spacer length. When these results are compared to the partition coefficients of the same alcohols in corresponding monomeric surfactants, we observe little difference in the thermodynamic driving forces governing the transfer of alcohols from water to the aggregates of either monomeric or symmetric gemini surfactants.

Abstract
Contemporary research concerning surfactant science and technology comprises a variety of requirements relating to the design of surfactant structures with widely varying architectures to achieve physicochemical properties and dedicated functionality. Such approaches are necessary to make them applicable to modern technologies, such as nanostructure engineering, surface structurization or fine chemicals, e.g., magnetic surfactants, biocidal agents, capping and stabilizing reagents or reactive agents at interfaces. Even slight modifications of a surfactant's molecular structure with respect to the conventional single-head-single-tail design allow for various custom-designed products. Among them, multicharge structures are the most intriguing. Their preparation requires specific synthetic routes that enable both main amphiphilic compound synthesis using appropriate step-by-step reaction strategies or coupling approaches as well as further derivatization toward specific features such as magnetic properties. Some of the most challenging aspects of multicharge cationic surfactants relate to their use at different interfaces for stable nanostructures formation, applying capping effects or complexation with polyelectrolytes. Multiheaded cationic surfactants exhibit strong antimicrobial and antiviral activity, allowing them to be implemented in various biomedical fields, especially biofilm prevention and eradication. Therefore, recent advances in synthetic strategies for multiheaded cationic surfactants, their self-aggregation and performance are scrutinized in this up-to-date review, emphasizing their applications in different fields such as building blocks in nanostructure engineering and their use as fine chemicals.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery of therapeutic biomacromolecules is often challenged by the poor transmembrane and limited endosomal escape. Here, we establish a combinatorial library composed of 150 molecular weight-defined gemini amphiphiles (GAs) to identify the vehicles that facilitate robust cytosolic delivery of proteins in vitro and in vivo. These GAs display similar skeletal structures but differential amphiphilicity by adjusting the length of alkyl tails, type of ionizable cationic heads, and hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of a spacer. The top candidate is highly efficient in translocating a broad spectrum of proteins with various molecular weights and isoelectric points into the cytosol. Particularly, we notice that the entry mechanism is predominantly mediated via the lipid raft-dependent membrane fusion, bypassing the classical endocytic pathway that limits the cytosolic delivery efficiency of many presently available carriers. Remarkably, the top GA candidate is capable of delivering hard-to-deliver Cas9 ribonucleoprotein in vivo, disrupting KRAS mutation in the tumor-bearing mice to inhibit tumor growth and extend their survival. Our study reveals a GA-based small-molecule carrier platform for the direct cytosolic delivery of various types of proteins for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Through our present study, three novel Gemini-fluorinated cationic surfactants bearing different spacers (FSG6-2, FSG6-4, and FSG6-6) were synthesized, and their structures were explained via different spectroscopic instruments such as 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR spectra. The surface activity of the as-prepared surfactants was examined. The inhibiting influence of FSG6 molecules on the X60 steel corrosion in the pickling solution (HCl) was examined by diverse methods comprising electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experimentations, and computational calculations. The inhibition effectiveness of FSG6 surfactants followed the order of 93.37% (FSG6-2) < 96.74% (FSG6-4) < 98.37% (FSG6-6) at 2.0 × 10-4 M. The FSG6 surfactants function as mixed-type inhibitors, according to PDP investigations. The H2O molecules that adsorbed on the steel interface were substituted with surfactant molecules, and the surfactant's inhibitory activity is likely caused by the improvement in an adsorptive layer on the steel substrate, as specified by the EIS results. The Langmuir isotherm describes the absorption of FSG6 molecules on the metal surface. The XPS investigations validate the steel interface's extremely protective nature. The mechanism of interaction between FSG6 molecules with an X60-steel employing the DFT calculations and MC simulations methods was also examined and discussed.

Abstract
Five ester-bonded gemini quaternary ammonium surfactants C12-En-C12 (n = 2, 4, 6), with a flexible spacer group, and C12-Bm-C12 (m = 1, 2), with rigid benzene spacers, were synthesized via a two-step reaction and analyzed. Furthermore, the effects of the spacer structure, spacer length and polymerization degree on the self-aggregation, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of C12-En-C12 and C12-Bm-C12 and their corresponding monomer N-dodecyl-N,N,N-trimethyl ammonium chloride DTAC were investigated. The results showed that C12-En-C12 and C12-Bm-C12 had markedly lower critical micellar concentration (CMC) values and lower surface tension than DTAC. Moreover, the CMC values of C12-En-C12 and C12-Bm-C12 decreased with increasing spacer length. In the case of equivalent chain length, the rigidity and steric hindrance of phenylene and 1,4-benzenediyl resulted in larger CMC values for C12-Bm-C12 than for C12-En-C12. The antibacterial ability of C12-En-C12 and C12-Bm-C12 was assessed using Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus albus (S. aureus) based on minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Furthermore, C12-En-C12 and C12-Bm-C12 exhibited higher antimicrobial activity than DTAC and had stronger function toward S. aureus than E. coli. The antimicrobial activity was enhanced by increasing the spacer chain length and decreased with the increased rigidity of the spacers. The cytotoxic effects of C12-En-C12 and C12-Bm-C12 in cultured Hela cells were evaluated by the standard CCK8 method based on half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). The cytotoxicity of C12-En-C12 and C12-Bm-C12 was significantly lower than alkanediyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyldodecylammonium) bromide surfactants and DTAC. The spacer structure and the spacer length could induce significant cytotoxic effects on Hela cells. These findings indicate that the five ester-bonded GQASs have stronger antibacterial activity and lower toxicity profile, and thus can be used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Compaction of calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) by two cationic gemini surfactants, 12-4-12 and 12-8-12, in the absence and presence of negatively charged SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) (∼100 nm) has been explored using various techniques. 12-8-12 having a longer hydrophobic spacer induces a greater extent of ct-DNA compaction than 12-4-12, which becomes more efficient with SiO2 NPs. While 50% ct-DNA compaction in the presence of SiO2 NPs occurs at ∼77 nM of 12-8-12 and ∼130 nM of 12-4-12, but a conventional counterpart surfactant, DTAB, does it at its concentration as high as ∼7 μM. Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements show changes in the rotational dynamics of a fluorescent probe, DAPI, and helix segments in the condensed DNA. Fluorescence lifetime data and ethidium bromide exclusion assays reveal the binding sites of surfactants to ct-DNA. 12-8-12 with SiO2 NPs has shown the highest cell viability (≥90%) and least cell death in the human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cell lines in contrast to the cell viability of ≤80% for DTAB. These results show that 12-8-12 with SiO2 NPs has the highest time and dose-dependent cytotoxicity compared to 12-8-12 and 12-4-12 in the murine breast cancer 4T1 cell line. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry are performed for in vitro cellular uptake of YOYO-1-labeled ct-DNA with surfactants and SiO2 NPs using 4T1 cells after 3 and 6 h incubations. The in vivo tumor accumulation studies are carried out using a real-time in vivo imaging system after intravenous injection of the samples into 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. 12-8-12 with SiO2 has delivered the highest amount of ct-DNA in cells and tumors in a time-dependent manner. Thus, the application of a gemini surfactant with a hydrophobic spacer and SiO2 NPs in compacting and delivering ct-DNA to the tumor is proven, warranting its further exploration in nucleic acid therapy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Fundamental physical chemical properties of monolayers formed from a new anionic gemini surfactant with a minimal-length (single-bond) spacer unit have been investigated at the air-water interface and compared with those of monolayers formed from affiliated comparator surfactants. The minimal spacer surfactant, dubbed C18-0-C18, exhibited strikingly different packing characteristics from an anionic gemini surfactant with a comparatively bulkier headgroup, including the formation of close-packed, crystalline films, and shared similar characteristics to simple fatty acid-based monolayers. Monolayers of C18-0-C18 also exhibited good stability at the air-water interface and transferred with reasonable efficiency to solid substrates, although the film integrity was compromised during the transfer. Results from this work suggest that the single-bond spacer approach might be more broadly useful for designing gemini surfactants that pack efficiently into ordered monolayers.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, three oligomeric cationic Gemini surfactants (Ⅲ1, Ⅲ2, and Ⅲ3) were prepared from different major raw materials, including long-chain alkyl amine (dodecyl amine, tetradecyl amine or cetyl amine), formic acid, formaldehyde, diethyl amine hydrochloride and epichlorohydrin. The synthesis conditions for one of the three surfactants, bis-[2-hydroxy-3-(N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecyl)propyl]dipropylammonium chloride (Ⅲ1), were optimised by orthogonal experiments. The optimum synthesis conditions were: molar ratio of intermediate Ⅱ to intermediate Ⅰ1 = 1.0:2.2, reaction temperature = 85 °C and reaction time = 16 h. The structures of the three prepared compounds were characterised by FTIR and 1H NMR. Their thermal properties were evaluated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The Geminisurfactants prepared exhibited better surface active properties than conventional single chain cationic surfactants. With increasing carbon chain length from C12 to C16, both CMC and surface tension γ
CMC decreased, while the viscosity of the thickening solution prepared with the synthesised oligomeric cationic Gemini surfactants as the main component increased. The optimum thickening formula was: 2.0 wt% Ⅲ3 + 0.8 wt% sodium salicylate (NaSal) + 0.6 wt% KCl. The viscosity of the optimum thickening formulation was 190.4 mPa s. Gemini oligomeric cationic surfactants could be used as thickeners in the production of fracturing fluids, flooding agents and drilling fluids for oil and gas production in oil fields.

Abstract
Since biocatalysts manoeuvre most of the physiological activities in living organisms and exhibit extreme selectivity and specificity, their use to trigger physicochemical change in polymeric architectures has been successfully used for targeted drug delivery. Our major interest is to develop lipase responsive nanoscale delivery systems from bio-compatible and biodegradable building blocks. Herein, we report the synthesis of four novel non-ionic Gemini amphiphiles using a chemo-enzymatic approach. A symmetrical diglycerol has been used as a core that is functionalised with alkyl chains for the creation of a hydrophobic cavity, and for aqueous solubility (polyethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG) is incorporated. Such systems can exhibit a varied self-assembly behaviour leading to the observance of different morphological structures. The aggregation behaviour of the synthesised nanocarrier was studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and critical aggregation concentration (CAC) measurements. The nanotransport potential of amphiphiles was investigated for hydrophobic guest molecules, i.e. Nile red, nimodipine and curcumin. Cytotoxicity of the amphiphiles was studied using HeLa and MCF7 cell lines at different concentrations, i.e. 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 mg mL-1. All nanocarriers were found to be non-cytotoxic up to a concentration of 0.1 mg mL-1. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (cLSM) study suggested the uptake of encapsulated dye in the cytosol of the cancer cells within 4 h, thus implying that amphiphilic systems can efficiently transport hydrophobic drug molecules into cells. The biomedical application of the synthesised Gemini amphiphiles was also investigated for dermal drug delivery. In addition, the enzyme-mediated release study was performed that demonstrated 90% of the dye is released within three days. All these results supported the capability of nanocarriers in drug delivery systems.

Abstract
The present work elucidates binding interactions of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) with the conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-bovine serum albumin (BSA), unfolded by each of two gemini surfactants, 1,4-bis(dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide)-butane (12-4-12,2Br-) or 1,8-bis(dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide)-octane (12-8-12,2Br-). Initially, at a low concentration of SDS there is a relaxation of bioconjugates from their compressed form due to the formation of catanions between SDS and gemini surfactants. On moving towards higher concentrations of SDS, these relaxed unfolded bioconjugates renature by removal of residual bound gemini surfactants. Mixed assemblies of SDS and gemini surfactants formed during refolding of bioconjugates are characterized by DLS and FESEM measurements. A step-by-step process of refolding observed for these denatured protein bioconjugates is exactly the inverse of their unfolding phenomenon. Parameters concerning nanometal surface energy transfer (NSET) and Förster's resonance energy transfer (FRET) phenomenon were employed to develop a binding isotherm. Moreover, there remains an inverse relationship between α-helix and β-turns of bioconjugates during the refolding process. Significantly, in the presence of 12-8-12,2Br-, SDS induces more refolding as compared to that for 12-4-12,2Br-. Bioconjugation shows an effect on the secondary structures of refolded BSA, which has been explored in detail through various studies such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD). Therefore, this approach vividly describes the refolding of denatured bioconjugates, exploring structural information regarding various catanions formed during the process that would help in understanding distance-dependent optical biomolecular detection methodologies and physicochemical properties.

Abstract
By means of isotopic substitution, measurements of the neutron reflectivity (NR) from a flat water surface generally give model independent measurements of the amount of a chosen solute at the surface irrespective of whether the layer is a mixture or whether there is any aggregation in the bulk solution. Previously, adsorption at air-water interfaces has been determined by applying the Gibbs equation to surface tension (ST) measurements, which requires assumptions about the composition of the surface and about the activity of the solute in the bulk, which, in turn, means that in practice the surface is assumed to consist of the pure solute or of a mixture of pure solutes, and that the activity of the solute in the bulk solution is known. The use of NR in combination with ST-Gibbs measurements makes it possible to (i) avoid these assumptions and hence understand several patterns of ST behaviour previously considered to be anomalous and (ii) to start to analyse quantitatively the behaviour of mixed surfactants both below and above the critical micelle concentration. These two developments in our understanding of the thermodynamics of the air-water interface are described with recent examples.

Abstract
Abstract
A series of novel dimeric pyridinium surfactants has been synthesised and the effects of a semi-flexible p-xylyl spacer and flexible, polyethylene glycol spacers have been studied. The nature of the spacer determines solubility and aggregation behaviour in two- and three-dimensional systems. Some of these insoluble compounds form two-dimensional, rigid-condensed structures at the air–water interface, while others form liquid-analogue monolayers. Whereas the latter compounds become soluble after exchange of the counterions, the former remain insoluble. The aggregation behaviour of Langmuir layers was, inter alia, investigated by Brewster angle microscopy. The micellisation behaviour of diluted aqueous solutions of soluble surfactants was primarily investigated by conductometric measurements and thermodynamic parameters of aggregation have been deduced with respect to the spacer length.

Abstract
The increasing concern about chiral pharmaceutical pollutants is connected to environmental contamination causing both chronic and acute harmful effects on living organisms. The design and application of sustainable surfactants in the remediation of polluted sites require knowledge of partitioning between surfactants and potential pollutants. The interfacial and thermodynamic properties of two gemini surfactants, namely, alkanediyi-α,ω-bis(dimethylhexadecyl ammonium bromide) (16-s-16, where s = 10, 12), were studied in the presence of the inherently biodegradable oxime-functionalized ionic liquid (IL) 4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)-1-(2-(octylamino)-2-oxoethyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (4-PyC8) in an aqueous solution using surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence, FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The conductivity, surface tension and fluorescence measurements indicated that the presence of the IL 4-PyC8 resulted in decreasing CMC and facilitated the aggregation process. The various thermodynamic parameters, interfacial properties, aggregation number and Stern–Volmer constant were also evaluated. The IL 4-PyC8-gemini interactions were studied using DLS, FTIR and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The hydrodynamic diameter of the gemini aggregates in the presence of promethazine (PMZ) as a potential chiral pollutant and the IL 4-PyC8 underwent a transition when the drug was added, from large aggregates (270 nm) to small micelles, which supported the gemini:IL 4-PyC8:promethazine interaction. The structural transitions in the presence of promethazine may be used for designing systems that are responsive to changes in size and shape of the aggregates as an analytical signal for selective detection and binding pollutants.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized quaternary ammonium salt-based gemini surfactants, 2C12(Spacer), with different spacer structures using ethylenediamine derivatives, and investigated their adsorption and aggregation properties by measuring their electrical conductivity, surface tension, fluorescence, and viscosity in conjunction with dynamic light scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering studies to investigate the effect of spacer structures on the properties of the gemini surfactants. The gemini surfactants with spacers containing nitrogen and oxygen atoms were highly soluble in water, whereas those with rigid spacers containing diethylene and triethylene chains exhibited low water solubility. The adsorption and orientation of the gemini surfactants at the air/water interface were significantly affected by the spacer length. Among the synthesized gemini surfactants, the one with the N,N'-dimethylpiperazine spacer showed the highest surface activity. In contrast, the gemini surfactant with the 1-methyl-4-[2-(N,N-dimethylammonio)ethyl]piperazin-1-ium spacer containing an ethylene chain attached to the amino group in the N,N'-dimethylpiperazine spacer (2C12(2/2-N-2)) adsorbed efficiently. However, due to the increased spacer length, this surfactant was unable to orient efficiently at the air/water interface.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2021; 225:112351. [PMID: 34763228 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2021.112351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
This work demonstrates binding interactions of two cationic gemini surfactants, 12-4-12,2Br- and 12-8-12,2Br- with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSA) presenting binding isotherms from specific binding to saturation binding regions of surfactants. The binding isotherm has been successfully constructed using Förster's resonance energy transfer (FRET) and nanometal surface energy transfer (NSET) parameters calculated based on fluorescence quenching of donor, tryptophan (Trp) residue by acceptor, AuNP. Energy transfer efficiency (ET) changes due to alteration in the donor-acceptor distance when surfactants interact with bioconjugates. A solid reverse relationship between α-helix and β-turn contents of BSA-AuNPs-conjugates is noted while interacting with surfactants. 12-8-12,2Br- shows stronger binding interactions with BSA-bioconjugates than 12-4-12,2Br-. The effect of bioconjugation on secondary/tertiary structures of BSA in the absence and presence of a surfactant is studied through circular dichroism, fluorescence, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic measurements. Motional restrictions imposed by AuNPs on Trp residues of folded and unfolded BSA have been investigated using red edge emission shift (REES) measurements. Finally, the molecular docking results present the modes of interactions of 12-4-12,2Br- and 12-8-12,2Br-, and Au-nanoclusters (Au92) with BSA. An approach to describe the binding isotherms of surfactants using AuNPs-bioconjugates as optical-based molecular ruler and possible effects of AuNPs on microenvironment and conformations of the protein is presented.

Abstract
Abstract
Surfactants are very often used in tertiary oil production. However, the conventional surfactants cannot be used in high salinity reservoirs of tertiary oil production because the high salinity leads to the deactivation of the surfactants. Gemini sulpho-betaine surfactants have been developed to meet the requirements of tertiary oil production in such reservoirs. In this study, the Gemini sulphobetaine surfactant (bis{[(N-methyl-N-(3-alkoxy-2-hydroxy)propyl-N-(3-sulfonate)propyl]methylene}) was prepared by etherification, ring opening reaction and sulfonation reaction with decyl alcohol, epichlorohydrin, N,N’-dimethyl ethylene diamine and 1,3-propanesultone. The experimental conditions obtained are: the ratio of 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone to tertiary amine intermediate = 2.3 : 1, reaction temperature = 70°C and reaction time = 11 h. The analysis of the infrared spectrum showed that the structure of the synthesised substance corresponds to that of a Gemini sulphobetaine surfactant. The chemical shifts of the groups were determined by 1HNMR structural characterisation of the products. The surface tension, emulsifying properties, foaming properties and wetting properties were investigated. The results showed that the surfactant has good foaming properties and good compatibility in a high salt environment.

Abstract
The cationic gemini surfactant PyO-3-12 was designed to include two dimethyl ammonium groups, one dodecyl tail, and 1-pyrenemethyl hexyl ether tail into the structure of the surfactant. The pyrenyl label ensured that the fluorescence of pyrene could be employed to probe the behavior of PyO-3-12 at the molecular level. The introduction of the oxygen atom in the β-position to pyrene was found to be critical for restoring the sensitivity of the pyrenyl label to the polarity of its environment. The properties of PyO-3-12 were characterized in water by surface tension and a fluorescence methodology that involved the global model-free analysis (MFA) of the pyrene monomer and excimer fluorescence decays to provide quantitative information about the state (unassociated-vs-aggregated) of PyO-3-12. The MFA was combined with a fluorescence quenching study with 2,6-dinitrotoluene to determine the size of the PyO-3-12 micelles. PyO-3-12 was found to behave like a typical gemini surfactant, exhibiting a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.38 (±0.05) mM and an aggregation number (Nagg) equal to 23 (±2). Besides allowing PyO-3-12 to probe the polarity of its environment, the oxygen atom in the β-position next to pyrene brought some pyrenyl labels closer to the interface between the micellar interior and the aqueous phase, in a process that increased the effective volume of the hydrophobic part of PyO-3-12. This led to an increase in the packing parameter of PyO-3-12 and, consequently, an increase in Nagg compared to the Nagg value of 14 (±0.2) obtained for Py-3-12, a gemini surfactant, whose chemical structure was similar to that of PyO-3-12 but without the oxygen in the β-position to pyrene. The methodology described in this study to prepare and characterize pyrene-labeled surfactants is general and can be applied to study any pyrene-labeled surfactant and its interactions with oppositely charged macromolecules.

Abstract
Natural lipid molecules are an essential part of life as they constitute the membrane of cells and organelle. In most of these cases, the hydrophobicity of natural lipids is contributed by alkyl chains. Although natural lipids with a nonfatty acid hydrophobic backbone are quite rare, steroids and isoprenoids have been strong candidates as part of a lipid. Over the years, these natural molecules (steroid and isoprenoids) have been used to make either lipid-based nanoparticle or functionalize in such a way that it could form nano assembly alone for therapeutic delivery. Here we mainly focus on the synthetic functionalized version of these natural molecules which forms cationic liposomal nanoparticles (LipoNPs). These cationic LipoNPs were further used to deliver various negatively charged genetic materials in the form of pDNA, siRNA, mRNA (nucleic acids), and so on. This article is categorized under: Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures.

Abstract
Corrosion is the degradation of a metal due to its reaction with the environment. One of the most efficient ways of securing metal surfaces from corrosion is the use of corrosion inhibitors. Their efficacy is connected to their chemical composition, their molecular structures, and their adsorption affinities on the metal surface. This review article focuses on the prospects of different types of monomeric and gemini surfactants, mixed surfactants systems, surfactants- additives mixed systems, inhibitors-surfactants (as additives) mixed systems, and ionic liquid based surfactants as promising corrosion-inhibiting formulations in the aqueous phase and the role of surfactants in developing protective coatings. The analysis starts with an accurate overview of the characteristics, types, and structure-property-performance relationship of anti-corrosion formulations of such inhibitors.

Abstract
Surfactant aggregates have long been considered as a tool to improve drug delivery and have been widely used in medical products. The pH-responsive aggregation behavior in anionic gemini surfactant 1,3-bis(N-dodecyl-N-propanesulfonate sodium)-propane (C12C3C12(SO3)2) and its mixture with a cationic monomeric surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) have been investigated. The spherical-to-wormlike micelle transition was successfully realized in C12C3C12(SO3)2 through decreasing the pH, while the rheological properties were perfectly enhanced for the formation of wormlike micelles. Especially at 140 mM and pH 6.7, the mixture showed high viscoelasticity, and the maximum of the zero-shear viscosity reached 1530 Pa·s. Acting as a sulfobetaine zwitterionic gemini surfactant, the electrostatic attraction, the hydrogen bond and the short spacer of C12C3C12(SO3)2 molecules were all responsible for the significant micellar growth. Upon adding CTAB, the similar transition could also be realized at a low pH, and the further transformation to branched micelles occurred by adjusting the total concentration. Although the mixtures did not approach the viscosity maximum appearing in the C12C3C12(SO3)2 solution, CTAB addition is more favorable for viscosity enhancement in the wormlike-micelle region. The weakened charges of the headgroups in a catanionic mixed system minimizes the micellar spontaneous curvature and enhances the intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction between C12C3C12(SO3)2, facilitating the formation of a viscous solution, which would greatly induce entanglement and even the fusion of wormlike micelles, thus resulting in branched microstructures and a decline of viscosity.

Abstract
In situ polymerization of preorganized amphiphilic monomers on various substrates provides a flexible synthetic route to construct high-quality two-dimensional polymers (2DPs) with designed functionalities. However, the detailed polymerization kinetics of these monomers in 2D confinement and their impact on the structural features of 2DPs have not been efficiently explored. Here, using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations, we unveil the similarity of the polymerization kinetics of the amphiphilic Gemini molecules in both a 2D-confined space and solution and emphasize the key role of the initiator concentration in modifying the morphology of 2DPs. More interestingly, introducing a spacer group into the Gemini monomer facilitates the formation of porous 2DPs. The size and periodic arrangement of pores in these 2DPs could be directly controlled by the Gemini molecular geometries and polymerization kinetics. The insights based on our DPD simulations provide valuable guidelines for the rational design and synthesis of 2DPs from a wider range of amphiphilic molecules.

Abstract
The Gemini imidazoline surfactants were synthesized from a series of saturated fatty acids. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization curve, and quantum chemistry methods were used to study the corrosion inhibition behavior of Gemini imidazoline surfactants for X70 carbon steel in NaCl solution. Results reveal that such kind of surfactants has an outstanding inhibition effect on carbon steel X70 in NaCl solution and that the restrained efficiency of Gemini imidazoline in an alkaline solution is better than that in a neutral solution. The shorter the carbon chain length, the higher the suppressive efficiency. The higher the concentration of Gemini imidazoline surfactant, the better the inhibition effect.

Effective cytocompatible nanovectors based on serine-derived gemini surfactants and monoolein for small interfering RNA delivery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 584:34-44.

Abstract
Non-viral gene therapy based on gene silencing with small interfering RNA (siRNA) has attracted great interest over recent years. Among various types of cationic complexation agents, amino acid-based surfactants have been recently explored for nucleic acid delivery due to their low toxicity and high biocompatibility. Monoolein (MO), in turn, has been used as helper lipid in liposomal systems due to its ability to form inverted nonbilayer structures that enhance fusogenicity, thus contributing to higher transfection efficiency. In this work, we focused on the development of nanovectors for siRNA delivery based on three gemini amino acid-based surfactants derived from serine - (12Ser)2N12, amine derivative; (12Ser)2COO12, ester derivative; and (12Ser)2CON12, amide derivative - individually combined with MO as helper lipid. The inclusion of MO in the cationic surfactant system influences the morphology and size of the mixed aggregates. Furthermore, the gemini surfactant:MO systems showed the ability to efficiently complex siRNA, forming stable lipoplexes, in some cases clearly depending on the MO content, without inducing significant levels of cytotoxicity. High levels of gene silencing were achieved in comparison with a commercially available standard indicating that these gemini:MO systems are promising candidates as lipofection vectors for RNA interference (RNAi)-based therapies.
