Abstract

Influence of oil-in-water microemulsions stabilized by aldonamide – type surfactants on human erythrocytes integrity and human breast cancer MCF-7 cells survival has been investigated. Microemulsion regions were subsequently determined in pseudoternary phase diagrams. The smallest hemolytic and cytotoxic action was exhibited by microemulsions stabilized by gemini surfactants in comparison to their dicephalic and single-head single-tail equivalents.
