The Amphiphilic Self-Assembling Peptide EAK16-I as a Potential Hydrophobic Drug Carrier

Figure 6

Profiles for the release of molecular pyrene from EAK16-I coated pyrene microcrystals into a solution of EPC vesicles according to the fluorescence results. Hollow and solid symbols are for pyrene transfer experiments carried out with E05P10 and E05P02, respectively. The final pyrene concentrations are as follows: (∘)[𝑃𝑌]=1.04×10⁻⁴𝑀; (⋄)[𝑃𝑌]=6.37×10⁻⁵𝑀; (□)[𝑃𝑌]=1.33×10⁻⁵𝑀; (♦)[𝑃𝑌]=6.14×10⁻⁵𝑀; (▼)[𝑃𝑌]=6.7×10⁻⁵𝑀 (from settled E05P02 solution); (▴)[𝑃𝑌]=1.56×10⁻⁵𝑀.
