Abstract
Self-assembled gels and methods of making thereof are described. A selective range of ratios between an organic solvent and optionally water, or an aqueous solution, allows for combinations of gelators (such as GRAS amphiphiles or prodrug-based gelators), co-gelators (such as anti-retrovirals), and solvents to form self-supporting hydrogels or organogels. The resulting gels may be used in methods of treating HIV and/or hepatitis.
