Acridine derivatives are known to exhibit pharmacological properties and many biological functions. Preparation and characterization of N-(acridin-9-yl)alkanamides with varying carbon chain will be presented. Gelation studies show that 5 wt % N-(acridin-9-yl)docdecanamide and N-(acridin-9-yl)tetradecanamide gelate organic liquids (silicone oil, safflower oil and DMSO) and water. Correlation of gelation properties of hydro and organo gels as well as computational studies of complexation with DNA with N-(acridin-9-yl)alkanamides will be presented.
