Wolfgang, 

it depends of course, what you want to do with your amphiphilic substance. 
However, Chloroform/Methanol/water (10:10:3) is gnerally a very good solvent
for that sort of stuff. Other solvents that will work: water/1-propanol -
mixtures, n-butanol. 

I hope that helps, 

All the best, 
Achim
