Tunable release rate platform highlighted by ChemistryViews

ChemistryViews Highlight: To develop a model delivery platform with a tunable release rate, Jan H. van Esch and colleagues, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, designed a system comprised of three major components: a hydrogelator, a proteolytic enzyme, and a phospholipid. The low-molecular-weight hydrogelator, based on a cyclohexane-tris-amide core, is covalently connected to the fluorogenic molecule 6-aminoquinoline (6-AQ) via an enzymatically hydrolyzable amide linker. Read More.
