Abstract

A derivative of arjunolic acid, a naturally occurring chiral triterpenoid, formed gels efficiently with a variety of organic solvents. Electron microscopy images revealed the morphology of the gels consisting of fibers and strands as well as 'cabbage leaf' type sheets of micrometer dimensions.
