Series of glucosyl esters derivatives were synthesized by enzymatic acylation and some surface properties, and cell activity were calculated and tested. The antitumor activity in vitro against three cancer cells, human colon carcinoma (K562), human hepatoma (HepG2), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) of compounds, were evaluated using MTT methods. The glucosyl esters could significantly displayed high anticancer activity. Thereinto, compounds 12 and 12′ showed higher inhibition effect to cancer cells than others. Several compounds were more active than control drug 5-FU. The structure–activity relationship analysis revealed that lipophilic properties might be essential parameter for their activity.
A systematic understanding of gelation self-assembly: solvophobically assisted supramolecular gelation via conformational reorientation across amide functionality on a hydrophobically modulated dipeptide based ambidextrous gelator, N-n-acyl-(l)Val-X(OBn), (X = 1,ω-amino acid)

A systematic investigation on gelation self-assembly has been performed on a hydrophobically modulated dipeptide based ambidextrous gelator, N-n-acyl-(l)Val-X(OBn), (X = 1,ω-amino acid). To elucidate the effect of hydrophobic tuning on gelator architecture towards its gelation self-assembly, three sets of gelators with a common formula: CmH2m+1C(=O)NH(l)Val(C=O)NH-(CH2)n-(C=O)OBn, were synthesized, Set-I includes gelators with n = 2, m = 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, for Set-II it is n = 2, 3, 5, m = 13 and Set-III comprises of two isomeric gelators (n = 2, m = 15; n = 10, m = 7). Gelation has been critically analyzed in various apolar (aromatic and aliphatic) and polar (protic and aprotic) solvents using FESEM, CD, IR, WAXRD and rheological studies. Obtained results reveal that π-π type interaction dictates the primary molecular alignment and positioning of amide functionality across the aliphatic chain which influences the peptidic orientation in parallel (when m > n) or antiparallel (when m gel and yield stress of gel systems increases with m, but for a given m, the trend goes apparently inverse with the increasing n. Circular dichroism (CD) studies suggest an intriguing evidence of non-planarity of amide plane during self-assembly, highlighting the involvement of conformational change taking place during molecular organization towards its gelation. Despite complex nature of solvent-gelator interaction, the effect of H-bonding component of solubility parameters was found to have a significant role on self-assembly. Overall, supramolecular forces acting at specific functionalities encrypted in gelator backbone must overcome the solvation energy with synergic assistance of solvophobic effect towards stabilization of gel-network with optimum gelator backbone conformation for achieving required enthalpic contribution for self-assembly.

1-β-d-Arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C, Cytarabine) is one of the drugs used for acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). However, the bioavailability of Ara-C is relatively low due to its low lipophilicity. In order to improve the lipophilicity and bioavailability of Ara-C, a series of N4 derivatives of Ara-C, i.e., (fatty acid)-(amino acid)-Ara-C analogues, were prepared. The 15 derivatives synthesized were characterized by their melting points, optical rotations and partition coefficients. It was found that the Ara-C derivatives synthesized in this study were more lipophilic than Ara-C as determined by their partition coefficients. Their in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo anti-tumor activity were determined and compared with that of Ara-C. It was found that the derivatives were more active than Ara-C in Hela cells, but not in HL-60 cells. The in vivo results showed that some of the derivatives were more effective than Ara-C in mice bearing S180 tumor while others showed a decreased activity in comparison with Ara-C.
