Investigating the effect of soluble and insoluble medicinal substances on cell wall orientation
Considering that the cell wall is the first defense and control barrier of medicinal substances into the cell, any dielectric behavior of this divider can lead to harm to the cell or the absorption of substances from the environment; hence, examining the dielectric and physicochemical behavior of the anisotropic cell wall is imperative. The present study employs 1102 (a mixture of liquid crystal) as an anisotropic environment, similar to the cell wall. Insoluble nanoparticle, Lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) employed as non-reactive material, while materials containing active agents are used as soluble materials like Retinol (C20H30O). At various dopant concentrations, the dielectric characteristics and optical anisotropies of the liquid crystal and dopant mixture were observed, and the resulting data was analyzed and studied results indicate that the shape of the insoluble dopant influences the molecular order of the liquid crystal bulk, while for soluble substances, the percentage of dopant is more significant than the shape of dopants in the ordering of anisotropic media.
