title: A combinatorial approach to the synthesis of cystine based organogelators.
abstract: A solid-phase approach was used to prepare 20 cystine amide derivatives with disulfide bond formation resulting from an intra-site reaction between neighbouring cysteine residues. Library members were screened as potential organogelators in a range of solvent mixtures and resulted in the identification of a potent gelator able to rigidify water/DMSO mixtures at concentrations as low as 1.3 mM.
