Abstract
Uvaol, a 6-6-6-6-6 pentacyclic dihydroxy ursane-type triterpenoid, is isolable from different parts of plants Plumeria rubra, Olea europaea, Nerium oleander, Lavandula pedunculta, and Malus domestica. It is also obtained by a one-step reduction of naturally occurring triterpenoid ursolic acid. Herein, we report the first self-assembly properties of uvaol in different neat organic liquids and aqueous organic binary liquid mixtures. Spontaneous self-assembly of uvaol in different neat liquids and binary liquid mixtures yielded garland, flower, and petal-like porous superstructures of nano- to micrometer dimensions. Utilization of self-assemblies has been demonstrated in generation of anticancer drug conjugates and the removal of carcinogenic and toxic chemicals.
