Abstract
3,7-Diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane scaffold can serve as a basis for the design of molecular switches stimulating the fast release of water soluble compounds under the influence of external factors from the liposomal containers having those switches incorporated into the lipid bilayer. It was demonstrated that liposomes having 3,7-dihexadecyl-1,5-diphenyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one (3) incorporated into the liposomal membrane sharply increase the permeability upon pH decrease from 7.4 to 6.5, and compound 3 can serve as a pH-sensitive agent in the bilayer of liposomal nanocontainers. Similar but less pronounced effect was shown for liposomes modified with 3,7-bis(methyldodecylaminoacetyl)-1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (5) and 3,7-didodecylsulfonyl-1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one (4). The structure (morphology) and size of modified liposomes were studied with scanned transmission electron microscopy.
