Gelation Behavior of 5-Chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline, an Antituberculosis Agent in Aqueous Alcohol Solutions

It was shown that 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline, an antituberculosis agent, gels aqueous alcohol solutions efficiently. Thermal stability and gel-to-sol transition temperature of 1% gel in CD&sub3;OD/D&sub2;O (2:1) was studied by ¹H-NMR. Fibrous structures of four xerogels have been characterized by scanning electron microscope.
