Vesicular and Fibrillar Gels by Self-Assembly of Nanosized Oleanolic Acid

Gelling and encapsulation: Oleanolic acid (1) is a nanosized triterpenoid that self‐assembles in different solvents to form nanosized vesicles. The vesicles formed can encapsulate fluorophores, including the well‐known anitcancer drug doxorubicin, and 1 can also gelate many of the solvents tested. T...

Description
Summary:Gelling and encapsulation: Oleanolic acid (1) is a nanosized triterpenoid that self‐assembles in different solvents to form nanosized vesicles. The vesicles formed can encapsulate fluorophores, including the well‐known anitcancer drug doxorubicin, and 1 can also gelate many of the solvents tested. This strategy of gelation and encapsulation may be relevant to many other large triterpenoids.
