A series of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid l-serines 3 were synthesized and their ability to form self-assembled gels was investigated. The saturated (lauroyl 3a and steraoyl 3b) and monounsaturated (oleoyl 3c) fatty acid l-serines form gels in both water and organic solvent, whereas the diunsaturated linoleyl-l-serine 3d does not form gels in these solvents, indicating that unsaturation adversely affects the gelation process. Cytotoxicity studies on these compounds with Caco-2 cancer cells in vitro show that these gels are only moderately cytotoxic at concentrations up to 0.5 mM, making them a promising candidate for applications such as drug delivery.

Paclitaxel is one of the cancer drugs that often used. These drug kills cancer cells byinhibiting mitotic cycle. The efficiency of paclitaxel is increased by the use ofnanomaterials as a carrier of paclitaxel. Nanomaterials can enhance encapsulationefficiency, improve the drug release to the target cell following nanomaterialdegradation, and improve local accumulation of drug in the cell through endocytosisreceptor. Nanomaterial that often used forencapsulation of paclitaxel is a polymerderived from natural resources such as cellulose. The advantages of cellulose as acarrier of paclitaxel are nontoxic, biodegradable, and very abundant from varioussources. One of the potential sources of cellulose for drug delivery system is cassavabaggase.Keywords: Paclitaxel, encapsulation, cell viability, nanocellulose
