In the present research work, the physicochemical studies of surface active Cyclohexanoxy carbonyl Pyridinium single tailed and Gemini amphiphiles had been compared. Thermal stability, size of aggregates in aqueous system and interaction with a globular protein, Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), was done by using TGA analysis, DLS, UV-visible, steady-state fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence and TEM respectively. On the basis of the experiments, it had been concluded that the Gemini amphiphile possessed less cytotoxicity, high thermally stability, form small sized compact aggregates and stable complex with BSA. The results have further been supported by higher value of Stern-Volmer quenching constant (KSV) and a higher binding constants for Gemini amphiphiles as compared to single tailed amphiphiles. Moreover, on the basis of synchronous fluorescence spectra and UV spectra, it has bee.. View More»
