[PMID: 36948284 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Nanomedicine is a field that combines biology and engineering to improve disease treatment, particularly in cancer therapy. One of the promising techniques utilized in this area is the use of micelles, which are nanoscale delivery systems that are known for their simple preparation, high biocompatibility, small particle size, and the ability to be functionalized. A commonly employed chemotherapy drug, Doxorubicin (DOX), is an effective inhibitor of topoisomerase II that prevents DNA replication in cancer cells. However, its efficacy is frequently limited by resistance resulting from various factors, including increased activity of drug efflux transporters, heightened oncogenic factors, and lack of targeted delivery. This review aims to highlight the potential of micelles as new nanocarriers for delivering DOX and to examine the challenges involved with employing chemotherapy to treat cancer. Micelles that respond to changes in pH, redox, and light are known as stimuli-responsive micelles, which can improve the targeted delivery of DOX and its cytotoxicity by facilitating its uptake in tumor cells. Additionally, micelles can be utilized to administer a combination of DOX and other drugs and genes to overcome drug resistance mechanisms and improve tumor suppression. Furthermore, micelles can be used in phototherapy, both photodynamic and photothermal, to promote cell death and increase DOX sensitivity in human cancers. Finally, the alteration of micelle surfaces with ligands can further enhance their targeted delivery for cancer suppression.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive smart supramolecular self-assembly with controllable morphology and adjustable rheological property has attracted widespread concern of scientists in recent years due to the great potential application in microfluidics, controlled release, biosensors and so on. In this study, a pH and UV light dual stimuli-responsive system was constructed by combining Gemini surfactant 2-hydroxyl-propanediyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyldodecyl ammonium bromide) (12-3(OH)-12·2Br-) with trans-ortho-hydroxyl cinnamic acid (trans-OHCA) in aqueous solution. The phase behavior and stimuli-responsive behavior of the system including the microstructural transition, rheological property, intermolecular interaction, and isomerization reaction were explored by various experiment techniques such as rheometer, UV-vis spectrum, polarized optical microscopy (POM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as theoretical calculation. The system displays abundant phase behaviors that supramolecular self-assemblies of different morphologies in different states such as spherical micelle, wormlike micelle, lamellar liquid crystal, and aqueous two phase system (ATPS) were observed even at lower concentration, which provide the research basis on the abundant stimuli-responsiveness of the system. The results prove that the multiple ionization and the photo-isomerization of trans-OHCA endow the system with plentiful responses to pH and UV light stimuli. It is expected that this study on the dual stimuli-responsive system with abundant self-assembly behaviors and adjustable rheological behaviors would be of theoretical and practical importance, which would provide essential guidance in designing and constructing smart materials with multiple stimuli-responses.

Abstract
Controlling the viscoelastic characteristics of wormlike micelles is of great significance to both basic theory and practical applications. In this article, a novel multi-stimuli responsive wormlike micellar solution was prepared by mixing cationic surfactant 3-hexadecyloxy-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium bromide (R16HTAB) with trans-o-hydroxycinnamic acid (OHCA). Rheological studies, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) were utilized to investigate the wormlike micellar system's multi-responsive activity. The results showed that the self-assembled structure and viscoelasticity of the mixed system could be regulated by pH, temperature, and light irradiation. With the increasing trans-OHCA concentration, η0 of the mixed solution increases first and then decreases and the turning point is presented at 30 mM trans-OHCA, indicating the transformation of spherical micelles to wormlike micelles, and then to short micelles. The microstructure of the mixed systems could be reversibly altered by adjusting the pH between 6.41 and 3.90, which was ascertained by cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The relationship of temperature and η0 obeys the Arrhenius law, attributed to the decreasing micellar contour length. η0 of a 40 mM R16HTAB/15 mM OHCA solution sharply increases after UV irradiation, mainly because the cis-isomer could insert into the micelle more easily, and the transition mechanism was studied by UV-vis and 1H NMR. The multi-responsive self-assembled system may open a new vista for building multi-functional aggregates to adapt to various environmental changes.

Rational design of dynamic imine surfactants for oil-water emulsions: Learning from oil-induced reversible dynamic imine bond formation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 607:163-170.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Dynamic imine surfactants (DIS) can be constructed by the formation of dynamic imine bonds (Dibs) between aromatic aldehydes and aliphatic amines in water. Because of the nature of Dibs in water, a thermodynamic equilibrium state was achieved between the DIS and aldehyde and amine precursors to form a dynamic combinatorial library (DCL). When the DIS served as sole emulsifier to form oil-H2O emulsions, the precursors migrated between the H2O phase and the oil phase, which altered the DCL equilibrium. The DIS concentration and emulsion stability also changed. EXPERIMENTS By mixing 4-(2-sulfobetaine-ethoxy)-benzaldehyde (SBBA) and aliphatic amines of CnH2n+1NH2 (n = 4, BA; n = 6, HA; n = 8, OA; n = 10, DA) in water, four amphoteric DIS (SBBA-BA/HA/OA/DA) were prepared. Dib formation was characterized using 1H NMR. The DIS surface activity was studied by surface tension and fluorescence probe methods. The reversible switching of DIS and its wormlike micelles were explored. FINDINGS SBBA-OA (or SBBA-DA) DIS was not a suitable emulsifier for stable hydrocarbon (HC)-H2O emulsions. OA and DA were more soluble in the HC phase than the H2O phase. The precursors of OA and DA migrated from the H2O to the HC phase, and the thermodynamic equilibrium state of DCL shifted towards Dib dissociation. The Dib could be regenerated by HC phase removal. A novel strategy where volatile HC (such as pentane) was used as a trigger was developed to switch the DIS reversibly and its self-assemblies (such as wormlike micelles) in water without inorganic salt accumulation. The SBBA-HA (or SBBA-BA) DIS was a suitable emulsifier for stable emulsions because HA and BA were more soluble in the H2O phase.

Abstract
Mixed systems of the Gemini cationic surfactant trimethylene-1,3-bis (dodecyldimethylammonium bromide) (12-3-12·2Br-) and the photosensitive additives trans-methoxy sodium cinnamates with different substituent positions (trans-ortho-methoxy cinnamate, trans-OMCA; trans-meta-methoxy cinnamate, trans-MMCA; and trans-para-methoxy cinnamate, trans-PMCA) were selected for investigating the effects of the substituting position of methoxy on the system phase diagram and UV light-responsive behavior of the wormlike micelles. The differences in phase behaviors of the selected systems were analyzed by calculating the potential distribution, molecular volume, and free energy of solvation of cinnamates and the binding energies between photosensitive additives and the surfactant. The photoresponsive behaviors of wormlike micelle solutions formed in the selected systems were studied by the rheological method and UV-vis and H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy; the kinetics of photoisomerization of trans-OMCA, trans-MMCA, and trans-PMCA were studied by first-order derivative spectrophotometry. The results reveal that the methoxy substituent position has a great influence on the phase behavior and photosensitivity of the studied systems. In addition, the photoisomerization of the studied cinnamates follows the first-order opposite reaction laws; the different reaction rates play the decisive role in the photosensitivity of the wormlike micelles. This paper would afford a deeper understanding of the UV light-responsive mechanism at the molecular level and provide essential guidance in preparing smart materials with adjustable light sensitivity.

Abstract
Amphiphilic molecules, comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties and the intrinsic propensity to self-assemble in aqueous environment, sustain a fascinating spectrum of structures and functions ranging from biological membranes to ordinary soap. Facing the challenge to design responsive, adaptive, and out-of-equilibrium systems in water, the incorporation of photoresponsive motifs in amphiphilic molecular structures offers ample opportunity to design supramolecular systems that enables functional responses in water in a non-invasive way using light. Here, we discuss the design of photoresponsive molecular amphiphiles, their self-assembled structures in aqueous media and at air-water interfaces, and various approaches to arrive at adaptive and dynamic functions in isotropic and anisotropic systems, including motion at the air-water interface, foam formation, reversible nanoscale assembly, and artificial muscle function. Controlling the delicate interplay of structural design, self-assembling conditions and external stimuli, these responsive amphiphiles open several avenues towards application such as soft adaptive materials, controlled delivery or soft actuators, bridging a gap between artificial and natural dynamic systems.

Abstract
Additional HCl can facilely control the dynamic noncovalent interaction between anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and additional organic matter, 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA), at the water/oil interface. At low HCl concentration (ODA/HCl molar ratio (r) = 1 : 1.5, [ODA] = 250 mg L-1), the ODA+ ions effectively enhanced the SDBS ability to reduce the water/oil interfacial tension (IFT) by about two orders of magnitude, while the (SDBS)2/ODA2+ gemini-like surfactants could be constructed at a relatively high HCl concentration (r = 1 : 4, [ODA] = 250 mg L-1), which could largely reduce the IFT to 1.19 × 10-3 mN m-1. Molecular simulation was employed to explore the interfacial activity of ODAn+ (ODA+/ODA2+) ions and the SDBS/ODAn+ interaction. The control experiments used another three surfactants to verify the proposed model. The pH-switchable gradual protonation of amino groups in ODA molecules determined the SDBS/ODA interfacial assembly, which was responsible for the reversal of IFT variations and the related emulsion behaviors.

Abstract
The photoresponsive wormlike micelles constructed by Gemini surfactants and cinnamate derivatives play a great role in the field of smart materials. However, how the structure of cinnamate derivatives affects the photoresponsive behavior of micelles is still a hotspot for scientists to research. Here, three kinds of aromatic salts with different ortho-substituted groups including trans- o-methoxy cinnamate ( trans-OMCA), trans- o-hydroxy cinnamate ( trans-OHCA), and trans-cinnamate ( trans-CA) were introduced into Gemini surfactant 12-3-12·2Br- aqueous solutions to construct photoresponsive wormlike micelles through their noncovalent interactions. Their properties were researched using the rheological method, cryo-transmission electron microscopy, and 1H NMR and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectra. The results show that these cinnamate derivatives could well construct wormlike micelles with 12-3-12·2Br-. Furthermore, subtle differences in the ortho substituents' structure have a significant effect on the photoresponsive behavior of formed wormlike micelles. Specifically, the zero viscosity (η0) of 40 mM 12-3-12·2Br-/24 mM trans-OHCA mixed solution decreases from 26.72 to 2.6 Pa·s with the shortening of the length of wormlike micelles after UV irradiation. Correspondingly, the η0 for the same ratio of 12-3-12·2Br-/ trans-OMCA decreases from 2.42 to 0.06 Pa·s and the wormlike micelles are transited into rodlike micelles and even spherical micelles after the same UV irradiation time. However, the variation of wormlike micelles in the 12-3-12·2Br-/ trans-CA system induced by UV light is not obvious with η0 being maintained at around 2.89 Pa·s. This study will help us better understand the effects of chemical groups on macrophenomena and microinteraction for micellar systems. It provides a theoretical basis for the construction of photoresponsive micelles, thus widening their application in the field of soft materials.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Stimuli-responsive surfactants (also known as switchable surfactants) can undergo reversible conversions between active and inactive forms under particular stimuli, affecting surface and interfacial activity, aggregation structure, emulsification and solubilisation. Selenium-containing surfactants are of reversibly redox-responsive. Hence, microemulsions (MEs) stabilized by selenium-containing surfactants should reversibly respond to redox reactions. EXPERIMENTS The formation of MEs, consisting of sodium dodecylselanylpropyl sulfate (reduced form, SDSePS-Re) or its oxidized form (SDSePS-Ox), n-butanol, n-heptane, and water, was verified based on a pseudo-ternary phase diagram. Changes in molecular structure between SDSePS-Re and SDSePS-Ox were verified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The transition between SDSePS-Re- and SDSePS-Ox -based MEs was systematically characterized through electrical conductivity measurements, cryo-transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light-scattering. FINDINGS Both SDSePS-Re and SDSePS-Ox could stabilize the mixture of n-butanol-n-heptane-water to form MEs. A reversible transition between an SDSePS-Re-based ME and the corresponding SDSePS-Ox-based ME was achieved, which was realized by the oxidation of SDSePS-Re with H2O2 and then reduction with N2H4. Compared with SDSePS-Re, SDSePS-Ox has a lower surface activity, resulting in a difference in solubilization capacity of the oil between SDSePS-Re- and SDSePS-Ox -based MEs. After oxidation with H2O2, phase separation could be observed in some SDSePS-Re-based MEs; however, the SDSePS-Re-based MEs could be recovered after reduction of SDSePS-Ox-based MEs with N2H4.

Abstract
Photoresponsive systems with adjustable self-assembly morphologies and tunable rheological properties have aroused widespread concern of researchers in recent years because of their prospect applications in controlled release, microfluidics, sensors, and so forth. In this paper, we combine a cationic Gemini surfactant 12-3-12·2Br- and trans-2-methoxy-cinnamate ( trans-OMCA) together to create a representative UV-responsive self-assembly system. The system displays abundant self-assembly behaviors, and the self-assemblies with different states and different scales including wormlike micelles, vesicles, and lyotropic liquid crystals (LCs) as well as an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) are observed even at lower surfactant concentration. The UV-responsive behavior of the formed self-assemblies is investigated systematically. The results have shown that the photoisomerization of OMCA from trans form to cis form under UV light irradiation alters the hydrophobicity and steric hindrance effect of OMCA and thus affects the molecular packing at the micellar interface and further leads to the transformation of assembly morphologies. The long wormlike micelles can gradually transform into much shorter rodlike micelles under UV irradiation and companied by the decrease of solution viscosity by 2 orders of magnitude. In addition, the vesicles can evolve into multistate self-assembly structures including the ATPS, wormlike micelles, rod-like micelles, and small spherical micelles depending on the UV irradiation time. The ATPS and its adjacent anisotropic LC phase can respectively combine into a single phase and separate into ATPS under UV irradiation. The morphologies of assemblies in the 12-3-12·2Br-/ trans-OMCA mixed system can be tailored by adjusting the system composition and duration of UV light irradiation on purpose. The photoresponsive system with abundant self-assembly behaviors and tunable rheological properties has wide application prospect in numerous fields such as drug delivery, materials science, smart fluids, and so forth, and the macroscopic phase separation and combination provide novel strategies for effective separation and purification of certain substances.

Abstract
Micelles as colloidal suspension have attracted considerable attention due to their potential use for both cancer diagnosis and therapy. These structures have proven their ability to deliver poorly water-soluble anticancer drugs, improve drug stability, and have good penetration and site-specificity, leading to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Micelles are composed of hydrophobic and hydrophilic components assembled into nanosized spherical, ellipsoid, cylindrical, or unilamellar structures. For their simple formation, they are widely studied, either by using opposite polymers attachment consisting of two or more block copolymers, or by using fatty acid molecules that can modify themselves in a rounded shape. Recently, hybrid and responsive stimuli nanomicelles are formed either by integration with metal nanoparticles such as silver, gold, iron oxide nanoparticles inside micelles or by a combination of lipids and polymers into single composite. Herein, through this special issue, an updated overview of micelles development and their application for cancer therapy will be discussed.

Abstract
Responsive wormlike micelles are very useful in a number of applications, whereas it is still challenging to create dramatic viscosity changes in anionic surfactant systems. Here a differential pH-responsive wormlike micelle based on sulfonic surfactants was developed, which is formed by mixing sodium dodecyl trioxyethylene sulphate (SDES) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium (EDTA4-·4Na+) at the molar ratio of 1 : 1. The phase behavior, aggregate microstructure and viscoelasticity of the SDES/EDTA4-·4Na+ solution were investigated via macroscopic observation, cryo-TEM and rheological measurements. It was found that the phase behavior of the SDES/EDTA4-·4Na+ solution undergoes transitions from a water-like fluid to viscoelastic upon decreasing the pH. On decreasing the pH from 12.01 to 3.27 by adding HCl, the viscosity of the transparent solutions with wormlike micelles was increased rapidly and reached ∼3100 mPa s. Furthermore, on increasing the pH by adding NaOH, the viscosity was slightly increased due to the addition of Na+. However, the increase in the concentration of Na+ is much smaller than the theoretical addition. The same phenomenon was noted in the sodium citrate solution, but does not exist in the sodium formate system. The viscosity of the micellar solution has a sensitive response to inorganic acids and tolerance to inorganic bases due to the characteristics of polybasic acids.

Abstract
Controllable self-assembly systems have attracted increasing attention in both the academic and industrial fields recently. Herein, we designed and synthesized a new photo-degradable anionic surfactant (PAS) with a coumarin group which could be degraded by both UV and NIR light. Thus, the micelles that are formed by sodium salts of PAS (PAS-Na) could be broken controllably under UV or NIR irradiation. Surface tension measurements, DLS, and Cryo-TEM were adopted to investigate the formation and disruption of PAS-Na micelles. PAS could also form wormlike micelles and vesicles when they co-assembled with common surfactant tetradecyldimethylamine oxide (C14DMAO). These wormlike micelles and vesicles could be degraded by UV and NIR irradiation due to the participation of PAS. Accordingly, the rheology properties of the wormlike micelles and vesicles were also changed significantly. Finally, the stimulus-responsive system was used to control the diffusion of hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules. And it has shown controllable release effects on both the hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules.

Abstract
Responsive wormlike micelles are very useful in a number of applications, whereas it is still challenging to create dramatic viscosity changes in wormlike micellar systems. Here we developed a pH-responsive wormlike micellar system based on a noncovalent constructed surfactant, which is formed by the complexation of N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine (UC22AMPM) and citric acid at the molar ratio of 3 : 1 (EACA). The phase behavior, aggregate microstructure and viscoelasticity of EACA solutions were investigated by macroscopic appearance observation, rheological and cryo-TEM measurements. It was found that the phase behavior of EACA solutions undergoes transition from transparent viscoelastic fluids to opalescent solutions and then phase separation with white floaters upon increasing the pH. Upon increasing the pH from 2.03 to 6.17, the viscosity of wormlike micelles in the transparent solutions continuously increased and reached ∼683 000 mPa s at pH 6.17. As the pH was adjusted to 7.31, the opalescent solution shows a water-like flowing behaviour and the η0 rapidly declines to ∼1 mPa s. Thus, dramatic viscosity changes of about 6 magnitudes can be triggered by varying the pH values without any deterioration of the EACA system. This drastic variation in rheological behavior is attributed to the pH dependent interaction between UC22AMPM and citric acid. Furthermore, the dependence on concentration and temperature of the rheological behavior of EACA solutions was also studied to assist in obtaining the desired pH-responsive viscosity changes.
