Abstract
Liposomes are essentially a subtype of nanoparticles comprising a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head constituting a phospholipid membrane. The spherical or multilayered spherical structures of liposomes are highly rich in lipid contents with numerous criteria for their classification, including structural features, structural parameters, and size, synthesis methods, preparation, and drug loading. Despite various liposomal applications, such as drug, vaccine/gene delivery, biosensors fabrication, diagnosis, and food products applications, their use encounters many limitations due to physico-chemical instability as their stability is vigorously affected by the constituting ingredients wherein cholesterol performs a vital role in the stability of the liposomal membrane. It has well established that cholesterol exerts its impact by controlling fluidity, permeability, membrane strength, elasticity and stiffness, transition temperature (Tm), drug retention, phospholipid packing, and plasma stability. Although the undetermined optimum amount of cholesterol for preparing a stable and controlled release vehicle has been the downside, but researchers are still focused on cholesterol as a promising material for the stability of liposomes necessitating explanation for the stability promotion of liposomes. Herein, the prior art pertaining to the liposomal appliances, especially for drug delivery in cancer therapy, and their stability emphasizing the roles of cholesterol.

Abstract
The interaction between the ruthenium polypyridyl complex [Ru(terpy)(dcbpy)(H2O)](2+) (terpy = 2,2';6',2"-terpyridine, dcbpy = 6,6'-dichloro-2,2'-bipyridine) and phospholipid membranes containing either thioether ligands or cholesterol were investigated using UV-visible spectroscopy, Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer surface pressure measurements, and isothermal titration calorimety (ITC). When embedded in a membrane, the thioether ligand coordinated to the dicationic metal complex only when the phospholipids of the membrane were negatively charged, that is, in the presence of attractive electrostatic interaction. In such a case coordination is much faster than in homogeneous conditions. A two-step model for the coordination of the metal complex to the membrane-embedded sulfur ligand is proposed, in which adsorption of the complex to the negative surface of the monolayers or bilayers occurs within minutes, whereas formation of the coordination bond between the surface-bound metal complex and ligand takes hours. Finally, adsorption of the aqua complex to the membrane is driven by entropy. It does not involve insertion of the metal complex into the hydrophobic lipid layer, but rather simple electrostatic adsorption at the water-bilayer interface.

Abstract
Isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) is mostly used to investigate the thermodynamics of “specific” host-guest interactions in biology as well as in supramolecular chemistry. The aim of this review is to demonstrate that ITC can also provide useful information about non-specific interactions, like electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions. More attention will be given in the use of ITC to investigate polyelectrolyte-polyelectrolyte (in particular DNA-polycation), polyelectrolyte-protein as well as protein-lipid interactions. We will emphasize that in most cases these “non specific” interactions, as their definition will indicate, are favoured or even driven by an increase in the entropy of the system. The origin of this entropy increase will be discussed for some particular systems. We will also show that in many cases entropy-enthalpy compensation phenomena occur.

Abstract
Intermolecular associations between a cationic lipid and two model polymers were evaluated from preparation and characterization of hybrid thin films cast on silicon wafers. The novel materials were prepared by spin-coating of a chloroformic solution of lipid and polymer on silicon wafer. Polymers tested for miscibility with the cationic lipid dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) were polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The films thus obtained were characterized by ellipsometry, wettability, optical and atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and activity against Escherichia coli. Whereas intermolecular ion-dipole interactions were available for the PMMA-DODAB interacting pair producing smooth PMMA-DODAB films, the absence of such interactions for PS-DODAB films caused lipid segregation, poor film stability (detachment from the silicon wafer) and large rugosity. In addition, the well-established but still remarkable antimicrobial DODAB properties were transferred to the novel hybrid PMMA/DODAB coating, which is demonstrated to be highly effective against E. coli.

Abstract
Mixing of oppositely charged surfactants and polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions leads to cooperative surfactant adsorption onto the polyelectrolyte chains. Experimental determination of surfactant/polyelectrolyte binding isotherms is usually done using custom-built surfactant-ion-specific electrodes. As an alternative, we present an indirect isotherm approximation method that uses conventional isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The calorimetric data is fitted to the two-binding-state Satake-Yang adsorption model, which quantifies the extent of binding in terms of the binding constant (Ku) and the cooperativity parameter (u). This approach is investigated using two surfactant/polyelectrolyte mixtures: sodium perfluorooctanoate (FC7) and N,N,N-trimethylammonium derivatized hydroxyethyl cellulose (UCARE Polymer JR-400), whose binding behavior follows the Satake-Yang model, and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and poly(styrenesulfonate) (NaPSS), whose behavior deviates dramatically from the Satake-Yang model. These studies demonstrate that, in order to apply the indirect ITC method of binding isotherm determination, the surfactant/polyelectrolyte adsorption process must have no more than two dominant binding states. Thus, the technique works well for the FC7/JR-400 mixture. It fails in the case of the DTAB/NaPSS adsorption, but its mode of failure offers insight into the multiple-binding-state adsorption mechanism.
