СROWN-AND SULFOPHTHALOCYANINES IN LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT HYDROGELS: PROPERTIES, MOLECULAR STATE, AND RELEASE

In continuation of our previous studies, we explored the solubilization of crownand sulfophthalocyanines in the presence of bile salts (BS), sodium deoxycholate, and sodium taurodeoxycholate. The formation of BS-based lowmolecular-weight hydrogels was observed and their modification with 15-crown-5-phthalocyanines was studied. Some characteristics of hybrid gels and xerogels are presented, and the process of prolonged release of active component from gel under the action of external stimuli was studied in detail.
