Abstract

Anionic amphiphiles which possess two normal alkyl groups as the hydrophobic residue and sulfonate, phosphate or carboxylate groups as the hydrophilic residue were prepared. Most of these compounds aggregate extensively in water to form vesicles and lamellae which are probably formed by the molecular bilayer. These aggregates are quite similar to the lecithin liposome with respect to the restricted molecular motion and cholesterol ...
