Abstract
Hexakis[butoxytris(ethoxy)]cyclophosphazene (3a), hexakis[dodecyloxytetrakis (ethoxy)]cyclophosphazene (3b) and hexakis[hexadecyloxyeicosanekis(ethoxy)]cyclophosphazene (3c) were synthesised and their ability to form niosomes was studied. All synthesised compounds in the presence of cholesterol were shown to form vesicles; which aggregated strongly. To prevent aggregation, dicetylphosphate was used. The capacity of the sonicated and unsonicated niosomes to encapsulate hydrophile and lipophile molecules was also studied using carboxyfluorescein and diphenylhexatriene.
