Rational design of coumarin-based supramolecular hydrogelators for cell imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new family of coumarin-based supramolecular hydrogelators without conventional gelating motifs have been designed and synthesized in a one-step reaction. Fluorescent nanofibers self-assembled from these hydrogelators could be used as potential scaffolds for better visualization of the interaction between substrates and cells.

Supramolecular Hydrogelators and Hydrogels: From Soft Matter to Molecular Biomaterials
In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the applications of supramolecular hydrogels/hydrogelators as molecular biomaterials. After a brief introduction of methods for generating supramolecular hydrogels, we discuss supramolecular hydrogelators on the basis of their categori...
متن کاملSupramolecular hydrogelators of N-terminated dipeptides selectively inhibit cancer cells.
Consisting of N-terminated diphenylalanine, a new type of supramolecular hydrogelators forms hydrogels within a narrow pH window (pH 5.0 to 6.0) and selectively inhibits growth of HeLa cells, which provides important and useful insights for designing molecular nanofibers as potential nanomedicines.
متن کاملExceptionally small supramolecular hydrogelators based on aromatic–aromatic interactions
We report herein the use of an aromatic-aromatic interaction to produce small molecule hydrogelators that self-assemble in water and form molecular nanofibers in the resulting hydrogels. Among these hydrogelators, a hydrogelator (6) made from a phenylalanine and a cinnamoyl group represents the lowest molecular weight (MW = 295.33 g/mol) peptide-based hydrogelator prepared to date. The supramol...
متن کاملHydrogelators of cyclotriveratrylene derivatives.
Developing cavity-based supramolecular hydrogels is in its infancy because not many such hydrogelators are available. Reported herein is our creation of rigid cavitand cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) based hydrogelators from the molecular backbones of CTVs that were in limited cases shown to form organogels. For doing so deprotonable -COOH or protonable -NH(2) was introduced as terminal group into th...
متن کاملOrthogonal self-assembly of low molecular weight hydrogelators and surfactants.
The concurrent self-assembly of new 1,3,5-trisamide-cyclohexane-based low molecular weight hydrogelators and various surfactants in water leads to the formation of self-assembled fibrillar networks with encapsulated micelles. This prototype system presents an example of orthogonal self-assembly, that is, the independent formation of two different supramolecular structures, each with their own c...
