Figure 6

Schematic illustration of the design of the precursor (taxol derivative, 5a), enzymatic cleavage of 5a by phosphatase to yield the hydrogelator (5b) which self-assembles into supramolecular hydrogel based on taxol nanofibers. Compared with that of taxol itself, both the precursor 5a and the hydrogelator 5b did not show compromised cytotoxicity on HeLa cells.
