Provided are a composition for forming a coating film, a coating film and a substrate having the coating film, which have excellent compatibility with biological substances, as well as a method for producing the same. A composition for forming a coating film having the ability to inhibit adhesion of biological substances, the composition comprising a copolymer and a solvent, wherein the copolymer is obtained by subjecting a monomer mixture to polymerization, wherein the monomer mixture comprises compounds represented by the following formulae (1), (2), and (3):

Biological material adhesion inhibitor

There is provided a hydrogel-forming material from which a hydrogel can be formed with a simpler method and under milder conditions. A hydrogel-forming material comprising a lipid peptide-type gelator that is formed of at least one selected from compound of the following formula (1): where Ris a Caliphatic group; Ris a hydrogen atom or a Calkyl group which optionally has a Cbranched chain; Ris a &#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;X group; n is a number from 1 to 4; and X is an amino group, a guanidino group, a &#x2014;CONHgroup, or a 5-membered ring group or a 6-membered ring group, or a condensed ring group that contains a 5-membered ring and a 6-membered ring, optionally containing 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms, and the similar compounds or pharmaceutically usable salts thereof; water; and an additive including either an organic acid or an organic acid salt.

Hydrogel-forming material

There is provided a practical method for preparing lipopeptide compounds, which method is capable of inexpensive mass production without requiring complicated operations. The lipopeptide compound of formula (3): is produced by reacting an ester compound of formula (1): with an &#x3b1;-amino acid compound of formula (2): in the presence of a base and within a solvent containing a nonpolar organic solvent.
