A new cationic polyhydroxylated lipid, characterized by a chiral template, was synthesized. It comes from an iridoid glucoside, as polyhydroxylated moiety. This lipid affords liposomes using cholesterol-like co-lipid. The liposomes had a spheroidal shape with a small size distribution.

Topochemical reactions normally occurring in the solid and crystalline state exhibit solvent-free and catalyst-free properties, with high atom economy properties, which have been widely applied in materials science and polymer synthesis. Herein, we explore the potential of topochemical reactions for controlling the emergence of supramolecular chirality and the precise fabrication of chiroptical materials. Boronic acid pinacol esters (BPin) were conjugated to naphthalimides containing an inherent chiral cholesteryl group linked by alkyl or benzene spacers.

Many therapies require the transport of therapeutic compounds or substances encapsulated in carriers that reduce or, if possible, eliminate their direct contact with healthy tissue and components of the immune system, which may react to them as something foreign and dangerous to the patient's body. To date, inorganic nanoparticles, solid lipids, micelles and micellar aggregates, liposomes, polymeric micelles, and other polymer assemblies were tested as drug carriers. Specifically, using polymers creates a variety of options to prepare nanocarriers tailored to the chosen needs.

Purpose: The present study aimed to develop a lipid nanoplatform, denoted as "BAL-PTX-LN", co-loaded with chiral baicalin derivatives (BAL) and paclitaxel (PTX) to promote the anti-lung cancer efficacy of paclitaxel and reduce the toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs.
Methods: BAL-PTX-LN was optimized through central composite design based on a single-factor experiments. BAL-PTX-LN was evaluated by TEM, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, hemolysis rate, release kinetics and stability.

Sphingosine, an amphiphilic molecule, plays a pivotal role as the core structure of sphingolipids, essential constituents of cell membranes. Its unique capability to enhance the permeability of lipid membranes profoundly influences crucial life processes. The molecular structure of sphingosine dictates its mode of entry into lipid bilayers and governs its interactions with lipids, thereby determining membrane permeability.

Article Synopsis
- Combination therapy, while potentially more effective than single drug treatments, can face challenges such as drug toxicity and uneven drug distribution, necessitating a better method for delivering drugs together.
- This study developed cRGD-coated liposomes that encapsulate two agents, cepharanthine (CEP) and IR783, to improve chemotherapy and photothermal therapy, testing their effectiveness through various assays and imaging techniques.
- Results showed that the optimal drug ratio of CEP to IR783 was 1:2, with successful drug retention in liposomes and significant therapeutic effects observed in tumor models, including a notable increase in tumor temperature and effective targeting post-injection.
