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.
