The first example of silica nanoshell synthesis on vesicles of a cationic glycerolipid—potential antitumor drug

Abstract

It has, for the first time, been shown that silica nanoshells may be prepared on vesicles of rac-N-{4-2-ethoxy-3-octadecyloxyprop-1-yl)oxycarbonyl]butyl}-N’-methylimidazolium iodide, which is a cationic glycerolipid with a pronounced antitumor effect.
