Abstract
DNA secondary structures are stabilized by mono- and divalent cations. To examine the stability of the DNA quadruplex formed from (TTAGGG)4, its interaction with a dicationic Gemini surfactant in standard phosphate buffer was investigated. The Gemini surfactant begins to form micelles in buffer at a cmc (critical micelle concentration) of 1.5 mM. In this study, solutions of DNA were prepared in buffer with surfactant concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 3.0 mM, i.e., above and below the cmc of the surfactant. In all samples of DNA and surfactant, a precipitate formed. The fraction of DNA precipitated depends upon both the initial DNA concentration and the initial concentration of the surfactant. In those samples where the DNA did not totally precipitate, the residual DNA assumed a quadruplex conformation. It was determined that two surfactant molecules per DNA phosphate are needed to completely precipitate all of the DNA in a particular sample. An estimated apparent K sp for the DNA:surfactant complex was determined.

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
Ultrashort cationic lipopeptides (USCLs) and gemini cationic surfactants are classes of potent antimicrobials. Our recent study has shown that the branching and shortening of the fatty acids chains with the simultaneous addition of a hydrophobic N-terminal amino acid in USCLs result in compounds with enhanced selectivity. Here, this approach was introduced into arginine-rich gemini cationic surfactants. l-cystine diamide and l-lysine amide linkers were used as spacers. Antimicrobial activity against planktonic and biofilm cultures of ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) strains and Candida sp. as well as hemolytic and cytotoxic activities were examined. Moreover, antimicrobial activity in the presence of human serum and the ability to form micelles were evaluated. Membrane permeabilization study, serum stability assay, and molecular dynamics were performed. Generally, critical aggregation concentration was linearly correlated with hydrophobicity. Gemini surfactants were more active than the parent USCLs, and they turned out to be selective antimicrobial agents with relatively low hemolytic and cytotoxic activities. Geminis with the l-cystine diamide spacer seem to be less cytotoxic than their l-lysine amide counterparts, but they exhibited lower antibiofilm and antimicrobial activities in serum. In some cases, geminis with branched fatty acid chains and N-terminal hydrophobic amino acid resides exhibited enhanced selectivity to pathogens over human cells.

Abstract
A series of 21 azapolymethylene gemini surfactants were obtained. The synthesis of the title surfactants in one- or two-step reaction proceeds with good yields. The structure and the purity of the synthesized compounds were determined by 1H and 13C NMR, ESI-MS spectra, and elemental analysis. Moreover, 2D COSY, HMBC, and HSQC spectra were performed. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the synthesized compounds were determined against fungi: Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum and bacteria: Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. Also, the critical micelle concentrations (CMC) were determined. The relationship between antimicrobial and surface activity and surfactant structure has been determined.

Polyelectrolyte-surfactant-complex nanoparticles as a delivery platform for poorly soluble drugs: A case study of ibuprofen loaded cetylpyridinium-alginate system. Int J Pharm 2020; 580:119199.

Abstract
Previously, we reported on the surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) as a crosslinker of alginate for the formation of stable polyelectrolyte-surfactant-complex nanoparticles. Here, we evaluate this system for increased solubility of a poorly soluble drug. The aim was to use CPC for solubilisation of ibuprofen and to use the micellar associates formed for alginate complexation and nanoparticle formation. We acquired deeper insights into the entropy led interactions between alginate, CPC and ibuprofen. Stable nanoparticles were formed across limited surfactant-to-polyelectrolyte molar ratios, with ~150 nm hydrodynamic diameter, monodispersed distribution, and negative zeta potential (-40 mV), with 34% ibuprofen loading. Their structure was obtained using small-angle X-ray scattering, which indicated disordered micellar associates when ibuprofen was incorporated. This resulted in nanoparticles with a complex nanostructured composition, as shown by transmission electron microscopy. Drug release from ibuprofen-cetylpyridinium-alginate nanoparticles was not hindered by alginate, and was similar to the release kinetics from ibuprofen-CPC solubilisates. These innovative carriers developed as polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes can be used for solubilisation of poorly soluble drugs, where the surfactant simultaneously increases the solubility of the drug at concentrations below its critical micellar concentration and crosslinks the polyelectrolyte to form nanoparticles.

Poly(Oxyethylene)-Amidoamine Based Gemini Cationic Surfactants for Oilfield Applications: Effect of Hydrophilicity of Spacer Group. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13051046.

Abstract
Thermal stability, salt tolerance, and solubility in normal and high salinity brine are the major requirements for any surfactant designed for oilfield applications because the surfactant stays in a non-ambient environment inside the reservoir for a long period of time. Herein, a series of new gemini cationic surfactants (GSs) with varying spacer hydrophilicity were synthesized and elucidated using MALDI-ToF-MS, NMR (1H, 13C), as well as FTIR spectroscopy. GSs found to be soluble in normal as well as high salinity brine and aqueous stability tests revealed that GSs possess the ability to retain their structural integrity at high salinity and high temperature conditions because no suspension formation or precipitation was detected in the oven aged sample of GSs at 90 °C for 30 days. Thermal gravimetric analysis displayed a higher decomposition temperature than the real reservoir temperature and the GS with a secondary amine spacer exhibited high heat stability. The significant reduction in surface tension and critical micelle concentration was observed using 1 M NaCl solution in place of deionized water. The difference in surface tension and critical micelle concentration was insignificant when the 1 M NaCl solution was replaced with seawater. The synthesized surfactants can be utilized for oilfield applications in a challenging high temperature high salinity environment.

Abstract
The solubility and heat stability of surfactants are the prerequisites for their oilfield applications. Most commercial surfactants undergo hydrolysis at high temperature and prolonged heating at 40 °C or above leads to decomposition. In this report, three cationic poly(ethylene oxide) gemini surfactants (GSs) containing flexible and rigid spacers were synthesized for oilfield applications. The chemical structures of the GSs were elucidated with the aid of 13C NMR, 1H NMR, FT-IR, and MALDI-TOF MS. The GSs exhibit pronounced solubility in deionized water, seawater, and formation brine and no cloudiness, phase separation, or precipitation were detected after keeping GS solutions in an oven at 90 °C for three weeks. According to thermal gravimetric analysis, the degradation temperature of all the GSs was above 240 °C, which is higher than the existing oilfield temperature (≥90 °C). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the synthesized GSs decreases upon increasing the temperature. Additionally, CMC values were observed to increase even further with increasing salinity. The low CMC values of gemini surfactants containing a flexible structure indicate that they create a more closely packed micelle structure compared with gemini surfactants with a rigid structure. The distinct surface and thermal features of the synthesized GSs reveal them to be appropriate materials for high salinity and elevated temperature reservoirs. Synthesis of new cationic poly(ethylene oxide) gemini surfactants containing flexible and rigid spacer groups to tolerate harsh reservoir condition.![]()
