(Chemical Equation Presented) D609 (1) has been used as a lipid-related enzyme inhibitor during the past three decades. Although it has eight possible stereoisomers, no systematic research considering its chirality has been performed. In this paper, eight possible chiral alcohols as direct precursors of D609 were synthesized, and their stereochemistries were elucidated by a vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) technique. Phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C and sphingomyelin synthase inhibition assays of these isomers showed considerable differences in their activities.
