New photoactive compounds to probe cholic acid and cholesterol inside mixed micelles
Abstract
New photoactive dyads have been synthesized by derivatization of cholic acid (CA) or cholesterol (Ch). These compounds have proven to be efficient tools to monitor incorporation of CA and Ch to mixed micelles (MM) and to probe the microenvironment experienced inside these entities. The outstanding capability of MM to solubilize Ch has been demonstrated.
