- An effective reagent to functionalize alcohols with phosphocholine
-
Phosphocholine is a small haptenic molecule that is both a precursor and degradation product of choline. Phosphocholine decorates a number of biologics such as lipids and oligosaccharides. In this study, an air and bench stable phosphocholine donor has been developed and evaluated with a number of alcohol acceptors. Using a one-pot, three-step sequence, (phosphitylation, oxidation, and phosphate deprotection) phosphocholine derivatives are synthesized in high yields. Of particular interest is the synthesis of miltefosine, the lone oral drug approved to treat leishmaniasis. Due to its prohibitive expense ($1500 per g), miltefosine is not accesable for the majority of the world's patients. Based on the described reaction sequence, this drug can be produced for $25 per g.

- Synthesis and biological activity of anticancer ether lipids that are specifically released by phospholipase A2 in tumor tissue

The clinical use of anticancer lipids is severely limited by their ability to cause lysis of red blood cells prohibiting intravenous injection. Novel delivery systems are therefore required in order to develop anticancer ether lipids (AELs) into clinicall

- New optically pure dimethylacetals of glyceraldehydes and their application for lipid and phospholipid synthesis
-
A convenient synthesis of new and enantiometrically pure 2-O-protected D-glyceraldehyde dimethylacetals as chiral C-3 building blocks for the synthesis of lipids and phospholipids is described.Benzyl- or allylethers are used as protecting groups in position 2 and 5 of D-mannitol.These intermediates are converted to 2-O-benzyl- or 2-O-alkyl-D-glyceraldehyde dimethylacetals by cleavage with periodic acid in methanol.The two dimethylacetals are useful for the synthesis of mixed chain phospholipids with natural configuration of ester-ester, ester-ether or ether-ether composition.Also, triglycerides with three different alkyl chains, ester of ether, can be prepared.As an example of the varsatility of the new intermediates, we describe the synthesis of 1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocho;ine, the so-called 'platelet activating factor' (PAF), via 1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-benzyl-sn-glycerol.

- Formation of a Structural Isomer of Platelet Activating Factor on the Acetylation of 1-Alkyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholines
-
The key stage in the synthesis of the platelet activating factor (PAT) - the acetylation of 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines (lyso-PAT) with acetic anhydride - has been studied.The formation of a structural isomer of PAT - 1-alkyl-3-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines - as a by-product when the reaction is carried out in the presence of bases (triethylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine) has been shown.Acetylation under the conditions of acid catalysis gave the isomerically pure PAT.The mechanism of the reaction leading to the formation of the PAT isomer is discussed.

- Isolation and characterization of seven lyso platelet-activating factors and two lyso phosphatidylcholines from the crude drug 'Suitetsu' (the leech, Hirudo nipponica)
-
Nine lyso glycerophospholipids were isolated in the pure state from the crude drug 'Suitetsu', which is the dried body of the leech, Hirudo nipponica (Hirudidae). They were identified as 1-O-hexadecyl-(1), 1-O-octadecyl-(2), 1- O-tetradecyl-(3), 1-O-9-cis-hexadecenyl-(4), 1-O-hexadecanoyl-(5), 1-O- pentadecyl-(6), 1-O-15-methylhexadecyl-(7), 1-O-octadecanoyl-(8) and 1-O- heptadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (9). Two of them (5 and 8) are lysophosphatidylcholines and the other seven are lyso platelet-activating factors. One of them has an alkenyl carbon chain.
