Title:
N-GLYCOSIDE TYPE GLYCOLIPIDS AND HOLLOW FIBER TYPE ORGANIC NANOTUBES MADE OF THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/065399
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a novel hollow fiber type organic nanotube and a microtube which can be conveniently produced within a short time and are widely usable. An N-glycoside type glycolipid represented by the following general formula (1): G-NHCO-R (1) wherein G represents a sugar residue prepared by removing a hemiacetal hydroxyl group bonded to the anomeric carbon of the sugar; and R represents unsaturated C10-39 hydrocarbyl. When this N-glycoside type glycolipid is dissolved in water, slowly cooled and then allowed to stand at room temperature, molecules thereof undergo self-accumulation to form a hollow fiber-type organic nanotube which has an average outer diameter of from 70 to 500 nm, an average inner diameter (average diameter of the cavity) of from 40 to 300 nm and a length of from about several hundred nm to several hundred µm.
