By covalently connecting taxol with a motif that is prone to self-assemble, we successfully generate the precursor (5a), the hydrogelator (5b), and hydrogel of a taxol derivative without compromising the cytotoxic activity of the taxol. This approach promises a general method to create nanofibers of therapeutic molecules that have a dual role, as both the delivery vehicle and the drug itself.
通过将紫杉醇与易于自组装的基序共价连接,我们成功制备了紫杉醇衍生物的前体(5a)、水凝胶剂(5b)和水凝胶,且不影响紫杉醇的细胞毒性活性。这种方法有望成为一种通用方法,用于制备具有双重作用的治疗性分子纳米纤维,既作为递送载体又作为药物本身。
