title: Synthesis and cellular uptake of cell delivering 2,6-pyridinediylbisalkanamide submicron-sized sheets in hela cells.
abstract: 2,6-Pyridinediylbisalkanamides were synthesized, using diaminopyridine (DAP) as a linker and alkyl chains of varying lengths, that upon self-assembly form submicron-sized sheets and their uptake into the cytoplasm of HeLa cells was studied by confocal microscopy.
