KRN7000 is an important ligand identified for CD1d protein of APC, and KRN7000/CD1d complex can stimulate NKT cells to release Th1 and Th2 cytokines. In an effort to understand the structure-activity relationships, we have carried out the synthesis of a c

The efficient and practical synthesis of die biologically important a-galactosylceramides, KRN7000, from phytosphingosine has been achieved in six steps in high overall yield.
Diastereoselective epoxidation of the double bond at C-4 of sphingosines to provide phytosphingosine relatives such as α-galactosylceramide KRN7000

Diastereoselective epoxidation of the double bond at C-4 of two sphingosine derivatives [3, R = (CH2)7Me or (CH2)12Me] was studied. Dimethyldioxirane was found to be the best oxidant for that purpose. Application of this epoxidation resulted in a new synthesis of the α- galactosylceramide KRN7000 (2), which has an enhancing effect on the activity of natural killer cells.
