This paper presents a study of the aggregation of
cationic bolaamphiphilic molecules into vesicles. These molecules
are based on a cystamine core with protonated terminal dipeptide
groups. The study found that vesicles can be formed at pH 4 for all
of the dipeptide-terminated bolaamphiphiles containing different
combinations of L-valine, L-phenylalanine, and L-tryptophan. The
concentration for aggregation onset was determined by using
pyrene as a fluorescent probe or light dispersion for compounds
with tryptophan. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies and
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveal that the vesicles
have diameters ranging from 140 to 500 nm and show the capability of loading hydrophobic cargos, such as Nile red, and their
liberation in reductive environments. Furthermore, the bolaamphiphiles are only fully protonated and prone to vesicle formation at
acidic pH, making them a promising alternative for gastrointestinal delivery. [-]
