Salt metathesis for developing injectable supramolecular metallohydrogelators as a multi-drug-self-delivery system†
Abstract
Salt metathesis has been exploited to generate a series of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) based Zn(II) metallohydrogels displaying both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Relatively low cytotoxicity, rheoreversibility and injectibility of one of these hydrogels make it suitable for multi-drug-self-delivery application.
