Ionic Liquids (ILs) are an interesting category of compounds particularly because of the possibility to easily synthesize them with different attractive properties, in the lab. The interest for ILs with amphiphilic character (IL-like surfactants) has been growing up because of versatility in creating useful supramolecular assemblies. In this short review, the current state of IL-like surfactants to prepare vesicles in water is described. Particularly, the focus has been put on the experiments performed by South American researchers using protic and aprotic surfactants. Finally, it summarizes some preliminary results obtained in our lab about the application in nanomedicine that these novel vesicles can offer.

离子液体（ILs）是一类有趣的化合物，特别是因为在实验室中可以轻松合成具有不同吸引力的化合物。具有两亲特性的IL（类IL表面活性剂）的兴趣已经增长，因为它具有创建有用的超分子组装体的多功能性。在这篇简短的评论中，描述了在水中制备囊泡的类IL表面活性剂的当前状态。特别是，重点已放在南美研究人员使用质子和非质子表面活性剂进行的实验上。最后，总结了我们实验室中有关这些新型囊泡可以提供的纳米药物应用的一些初步结果。
