Novel lipophilic derivatives of azobis(benzo-15-crown-5) (1b, 1c) were synthesized and their photoisomerization, complexation and extraction properties for alkali metal cations were investigated. Upon UV light irradiation, the photostationary state of the trans and cis isomers was reached and, with both 1b and 1c, the extractabilities of Rb+ and Cs+ increased due to the formation of 1:1 sandwich-type complexes by the cis isomers. On the other hand, the extractability of K+ decreased, possibly because the 2:1 complexes formed by the trans isomers are more stable and/or lipophilic than the complexes of the cis isomers.

N4-Palmitoyl-araC, a prodrug of the cytostatic compound 1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC), was linked by means of the triester method to the phospholipids (2-chlorophenyl) (1,2-di-O-palmitoylglyceryl) phosphate, (2-chlorophenyl) (1,2-di-O-octadecylglyceryl) phosphate and (2-chlorophenyl) (1-O-octadecyl-2-O-palmitoylglyceryl) phosphate. In the first step of these gram-scale syntheses phospholipid-(N4-palmitoyl-araC) conjugates were obtained the linkage of which was accomplished via a triester group. In the second step the final condensates were obtained through transformation of the triester into a diester linkage by removal of the 2-chlorophenyl group. The cytostatic activity of these compounds which form stable liposomal preparations together with matrix lipids was evaluated according to the L1210 mouse leukemia model. The conjugates containing a triester linkage were shown to be ineffective, whereas those with a diester linkage display a significantly higher antitumor activity as compared to N4-palmitoyl-araC and araC. With the diester 6a-8a 80-100% of the treated animals were cured at a total dose of 200 μmol/kg, whereas with araC given at a fourfould higher concentration none of the treated mice survived.
