Lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (cubosomes) have the potential to act as amphiphilic scaffolds for the presentation of lipids and subsequent application in for example bioseparations and therapeutic delivery In this work we have formulated lyotropic liquid crystalline systems based on the synthetic amphiphile 1 2 3-trihydroxy-3 7 11 15-tetramethylhexadecane (phytantriol) and containing the lipid dipalmitoyl phosphatidylserine (DPPS) We have prepared a range of DPPS-containing phytantriol cubosome formulations and characterized them using Small Angle X-ray Scattering and Cryo-transmission electron microscopy These techniques show that Increased DPPS content induces marked changes in lyotropic liquid crystalline phase behaviour characterized by changes in crystallographic dimensions and increases in vesicle content Furthermore in vitro cell culture studies indicate that these changes correlate with lipid/surfactant cellular uptake and cytotoxicity A model cell membrane based on a surface supported phospholipid bilayer was used to gain insights Into cubosome bilayer interactions using Quartz Crystal Microgravimetry The data show that mass uptake at the supported bilayer increased with DPPS content We propose that the cytotoxicity of the DPPS-containing dispersions results from changes in lipid/surfactant phase behaviour and the preferential attachment and fusion of vesicles at the cell membrane Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
