“…Dipalmitoylphosphocholine (DPPC)a well-known model lung surfactantis always administered with cosurfactants, like hexadecanol and tyloxapol and, therefore, has been investigated in many different kinds of mixed films, for example, in mixtures with long-chained alcohols or cholesterol. , The antibacterial or antifungal activity of many antibiotics is strongly related to their interaction with bacterial or fungal cell membrane components, and therefore, a great number of monolayer studies of binary or ternary systems containing an antibiotic molecule and a cell membrane component have been carried out, e.g., mixures of valinomycin with cholesterol and stearic acid, bacteriocin and a phospholipid, amphotericin B and different sterols, or gramicidin A and ethyl palmitate . Other research projects involve studies of ceramides in mixed films with cholesterols and fatty acids, , mixtures of modified vitamins, or an anticancer drugmiltefosinemixed with a model ganglioside or membrane phospholipids …”
