Cationic Detergents

Cationic detergents can be used to form liposomes, which are spherical structures made of a lipid bilayer that can encapsulate drugs. Cationic detergents can be used to form the outer layer of the liposome, which can improve the stability of the liposome and help it to bind to negatively charged cell surfaces. Cationic detergents can also be used to form micelles, which are small aggregates of molecules that can solubilize hydrophobic drugs. The cationic detergent can form a shell around the hydrophobic drug, which can improve its solubility and stability in water. The micelles can then be delivered to cells, where the drug can be released.

CD Bioparticles’ services with customized delivery strategies, precise designs and modifications of drugs or drug-contained cargos, and advanced technical platforms can help you to solve:

The challenges you might meet:

• Drugs with low bioavailability are difficult to deliver
• The toxicity of chemical drugs can damage normal cells
• Strong immune response or foreign body response of your materials
• Tedious drug-loaded liposome formulation, purifications, and production

Key benefits:

• Surface active liposomes allowing the modification of the drug-loaded liposomes to achieve cell-targeting or tissue-targeting
• To improve drug stability and drug release
• To improve drug bioavailability and reduce toxicity
• Suitable for in vitro and in vivo experiments
• Ready-to-use

Application candidates:

• Drug delivery models of in vitro or in vivo studies
• Industrial applications: Cationic detergents are used in industrial applications, such as oil recovery and water treatment, to help separate and remove impurities
• Used in many personal care products, such as shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps, to improve their cleansing and conditioning properties
• Used as emulsifiers to help mix oil and water-based substances
• Used as anti-static agents to reduce static electricity on surfaces
