Erythrocyte-like liposomes prepared by means of amphiphilic cyclodextrin sulfates.
A novel class of sulfated glycolipids with excellent self-assembling capacity to form stable monolayers at an air-water interface and specific erythrocyte-like liposomes was synthesised from alpha, beta, and gamma-cyclodextrins as starting materials.
