A self-assembled π-conjugated system as an anti-proliferative agent in prostate cancer cells and a probe for intra-cellular imaging

Abstract

Herein, self-assembled π-conjugated systems derived from renewable resource are reported as a probe for intra-cellular imaging and an anti-proliferative agent for PC3 cells.

Simple Organic Salts Having a Naphthalenediimide (NDI) Core Display Multifunctional Properties: Gelation, Anticancer and Semiconducting Properties

“…(hence the name supramolecular gels). SGs [27][28][29][30][31] have attracted worldwide attention due to their variousp otential applications such as in electroo ptics/photonics, [32,33] sensors, [34,35] cosmetics, [36] structure directing agents, [37] conservation of art, [38] catalysis, [39] bio-medical applications [40][41][42][43][44] etc. However,apriori designo fagelator molecule is ad aunting task.…”

Supramolecular gels of gluconamides derived from renewable resources: Antibacterial and anti‐biofilm applications

“…Gelation ability of gluconamide-based amphiphiles 4a and 4b were determined by the "stable to inversion" method. [56,58,59,81] A large range of organic solvents and edible vegetable oils were used for the gelation test. The minimum gelation concentration (MGC) of gelator in % w/v (i.e., mg/100 µL) was identified by taking a known quantity of gelator in a vial followed by the addition of an appropriate amount of solvent/oil.…”

“…[53][54][55] Our recent research on molecular self-assembly using cardanol-based amphiphiles clearly demonstrate its significance. [23,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62] In this report, we have generated a set of three amphiphiles by a judicious combination of δ-gluconolactone and cardanol derivatives, which upon self-assembly via noncovalent interactions such as van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions at different intensities to furnish supramolecular gels. It is worth mentioning that supramolecular self-assembly is considered as one of the most powerful strategies to develop functional materials [63][64][65][66] bearing nano-architecture with tortuousness using the conventional top-down approach.…”

“…Supramolecular gels are an important class of soft materiald erived from low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs;u sually small molecules with molecular weights of less than 3000). [1][2][3][4][5] These types of viscoelastic materials are becoming more popular,m ainly because of their variousp otentiala pplications in electro-optics/photonics, [6,7] sensors, [8][9][10] cosmetics, [11] structuredirectinga gents, [12] conservation of art, [13] catalysis, [14] biomedical applications, [15][16][17][18][19][20] biomaterials, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and so forth. Although there are literarily hundreds of LMWGs reported, designing them is af ormidable task because exact molecular-level information about gelation is still poorly understood.…”
