Self-assembly of isomannide-based monoesters of C18-fatty acids and their cellular uptake studies

摘要

The self-assembling behavior of oleic, elaidic and stearic acid-isomannide glycolipids is revealed. Amongst these, oleic and elaidic acid-based isomannide lipids self-assembled to form microspheres which were efficiently taken up by cancer cell lines enabling their usage for drug delivery applications.
