Hydrophobic Tetramer Structures of Cholic Acid
Source abstract
Abstract
Cholic acid (CA) is a primary bile acid which possesses facial amphiphilicity and self-assembly ability. CA is slightly soluble in water, which makes it impossible to form the self-assembled structures spontaneously in aqueous solutions. To increase the water solubility, a cholic acid ester (CA-4EG) with a hydrophilic tail (tetraethyleneglycol, 4EG) was synthesized, which forms self-assembled structures in aqueous solutions. The self-assembled crystals of CA are obtained by acidic hydrolyzing the ester bond of CA-4EG. The rhombic hydrophobic tetramer structure units and fiber-layer structures are found in the self-assembled crystals of CA.
