Bile acids have received considerable interest in the drug delivery research due to their
peculiar physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. The main advantage of bile acids …

The salts of bile acids (“bile salts”) self-assemble in aqueous solution, similar to classical
amphiphiles. The micellization is not only driven by the hydrophobic effect, but also …

Introduction: Bile acids are biological surfactants and signaling molecules with important
paracrine and endocrine functions. The enterohepatic organotropism of bile acids turns …

In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures of the surfactants
hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HA)–sodium deoxycholate (DC) and …

The formation of binary mixed micelles of sodium cholate (SC)–
hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTAB) and sodium cholate (SC) …

In this review, bile salt, bile salt–surfactant, and bile salt–drug interactions and their
solubilization studies are mainly focused. Usefulness of bile salts in digestion, absorption …

An evaluation of the interactions of phenothiazine tranquilizer drugs (promazine
hydrochloride; PMZ and promethazine hydrochloride; PMT) with bile salts viz., sodium …

We present a generalized version of the ITIM algorithm for the identification of interfacial
molecules, which is able to treat arbitrarily shaped interfaces. The algorithm exploits the …

Hypotheses Bile salts (BS) are biosurfactants released into the small intestine, which play
key and contrasting roles in lipid digestion: they adsorb at interfaces and promote the …

Betulinic acid (BA) is a natural compound with significant potential for treating various
diseases, including cancer and AIDS, and possesses additional anti-inflammatory and …
