Glycosyl-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5,11-diones have been obtained by
condensing, at the N-10, different polyhydroxylated groups Su (Su = 6-deox
y-D-glucopyranos-6-yl, 6-deoxy-3-O-R-D-glucopyranos-6-yl (R = n-CnH2n+1; n
= 8, 12 and 16), 1-deoxy-D,L-xylit-1-yl and 1-deoxy-D,L-glycer-1-yl). The s
tructural variations of Su allowed us to compare amphiphilic data like wate
r solubility (Sw), critical micelle concentration (CMC) and corresponding s
urface tension (gamma) values. Results of a preliminary antibacterial study
are also reported.
