Abstract
Azidothymidine (AZT) esters of lipidic amino acid and oligomers, together with AZT‐5′‐lipidic sulphide were synthesised. The AZT conjugates with ester linkages (3a–e) were prepared by coupling the lipidic amino acids and their oligomers to the 5′‐hydroxyl terminus of AZT. The sulphide conjugate 5 was synthesised by treating AZT‐5′‐tosylate (4) with octadecanethiol. In order to examine the effect of different lipophilicities on the activity of the AZT molecule conjugates, the lipidic amino acid units were varied from 1 to 3 and the length of the alkyl chain from 9 to 17 carbon atoms.

## Abstract The α‐amino acids with long alkyl side chains, the so‐called lipidic amino acids 1a–e, and their homo‐oligomers, the lipidic peptides 1p–aj, represent a class of compounds which combine the structural properties of peptides and proteins with the characteristics of lipids and membranes.
