- Enzymic synthesis, physicochemical, and cell activity of glucosyl ester derivatives based on N-fatty acyl amino acid
-
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.

- New N-acylamino acids and derivatives from renewable fatty acids: Gelation of hydrocarbons and thermal properties
-
This work reports the synthesis of new fatty N-acylamino acids and N-acylamino esters from the C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, and C18:1(OH) fatty acid families and demonstrates the activity of these compounds as organogel agents. Compounds were heated and dissolved in various solvents (n-hexane, toluene, and gasoline). Only saturated C16:0 and C18:0 derived from alanine were able to form gels in toluene, and saturated C16:0 derived from phenylalanine showed gelation in n-hexane. This is the first evidence that fatty N-acylamino esters and N-acylamino acid derivatives of l-serine and fatty acids C16:0, C18:0, and C18:1 are able to form gels with hexane. This observation confirms the importance of the hydroxyl group in the segment derivative of l-serine in forming good gels.

- The striking influence of SWNT-COOH on self-assembled gelation
-
A miniscule amount of f-SWNTs remarkably improved (～17-fold) the gelation efficiency of amphiphilic molecules by triggering the formation of interconnecting self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFIN) in supramolecular gelation.

- In situ synthesized Ag nanoparticle in self-assemblies of amino acid based amphiphilic hydrogelators: Development of antibacterial soft nanocomposites
-
The present work reports the development of a new class of antibacterial soft-nanocomposites by in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) within the supramolecular self-assemblies of amino acid (tryptophan/tyrosine) based amphiphilic hydrogelators. Interestingly, the nanoparticle synthesis does not require the use of any external reducing/stabilizing agents. The nanocomposites were characterized by UV-vis spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Encouragingly, these soft nanocomposites showed excellent antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria whereas the amphiphiles alone were lethal only toward Gram-positive bacteria. Judicious combination of bactericidal AgNP within the self-assemblies of inherently antibacterial amphiphilic gelators led to the development of soft nanocomposites effective against both type of bacteria. The head group charge and structure of the amphiphiles were altered to investigate their important role on the synthesis and stabilization of AgNP and also in modulating the antibacterial activity of the nanocomposites. The antibacterial activities of soft nanocomposites comprising amphiphiles with cationic head group were found to be more efficient than the anionic soft nanocomposites. Interestingly, these nanocomposites have shown considerable biocompatibility to mammalian cell, NIH3T3. Furthermore, the well-known tissue engineering scaffold, agar-gelatin film infused with these soft nanocomposites allowed normal growth of mammalian cells on its surface while being lethal toward both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

- Molecular mechanism of physical gelation of hydrocarbons by fatty acid amides of natural amino acids
-
A variety of fatty acid amides of different naturally occurring l-amino acids have been synthesized and they are found to form gels with various hydrocarbons. The gelation properties of these compounds were studied by a number of physical methods including FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, rheology, and it was found that gelation depended critically on the fatty acid chain length and the nature of the amino acid. Among them l-alanine based gelators were found to be the most efficient and versatile gelators as they self-assemble into a layered structure to form the gel network. Mechanisms for the assembly and formation of gels from these molecules are discussed.
