Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Myristyl nicotinate is used as a vasodilator for improving blood circulation. It helps in the treatment of various cardiovascular conditions by relaxing the blood vessels and increasing blood flow.
Used in Dermatological Applications:
Myristyl nicotinate is used as an active ingredient in the treatment of dermatological conditions. It is combined with other drugs to enhance their effectiveness and provide relief from skin issues such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Its vasodilatory action helps in reducing inflammation and promoting healing of the affected areas.
Used in Cosmetic Industry:
In the cosmetic industry, myristyl nicotinate is used as a skin conditioner and moisturizer. It helps in maintaining the skin's elasticity and hydration, providing a smooth and healthy appearance. Additionally, it is also used in the formulation of anti-aging products due to its ability to improve blood circulation and promote skin regeneration.

Sunfish amphiphiles: Conceptually new carriers for DNA delivery

A conceptually new class of cationic amphiphiles, Sunfish amphiphiles, designed for the delivery of genes into cells is introduced. Sunfish amphiphiles have two hydrophobic tails, connected at the 4- and the N-position to the cationic pyridinium headgroup. Two extreme morphologies visualised by backfolding and combining of both tails at one site (matching situation) or unfolding of the tails at distinct interaction sites at biological membranes will lead to considerable differences in morphological behaviour. The underlying rationale allows controlled release by using this morphological alteration of the Sunfish/helper-lipid/DNA complex (lipoplex). The often-excellent transfection efficiencies are probably related to these morphological changes. In addition, the Sunfish amphiphiles possess low toxicities, resulting in high cell survival after internalisation. The underlying rationale, design, synthesis and in vitro transfection potential are discussed in detail. Moreover, some physico-chemical characteristics of the Sunfish amphiphiles have been studied.
