Abstract:
Hybrid nucleotide–lipids composed of a lipid covalently attached to purine and pyrimidine nucleobases exhibit supramolecular properties. The novel cytidine and guanosine derivatives are promising bioinspired materials, which can act as supramolecular gelators depending on both the nucleobase and the presence of salts. These supramolecular properties are of broad interest for biomedical applications.
