Cage-like microstructures were obtained in two steps by sequential Ugi reactions. At the first stage, submicron colloidal particles based on carboxymethylcellulose and chitosan with a domain structure were obtained in an aqueous suspension. In the second stage, the Ugi reaction was carried out on the surface of the Pickering emulsions with toluene.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on using cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose and chitosan particles to stabilize Pickering emulsions, showing their effectiveness in oil/water mixtures.
  • The particles were created through a specific assembly method and analyzed for their size and structure, revealing that they are suitable for forming stable emulsions even at low concentrations.
  • The research also highlights the successful encapsulation and controlled release of the natural compound piperine from these emulsions, suggesting potential applications for drug delivery systems.

The Ugi four-component condensation in diluted liposomal suspensions was used to prepare pectin-based submicron capsules. A set of isocyanides and aldehydes was used to optimize the synthesis of capsule shells. Modified sugar beet pectin was selected as a natural polymer with pronounced surface activity to create a capsule shell.
