Agelasphin-9b, (2S,3S,4R)-1-O-(α-D-galactopyranosyl)-16-methyl-2-[N- ((R)-2-hydroxytetracosanoyl)-amino]-1,3,4-heptadecanetriol, is a potent antitumor agent isolated from the marine sponge Agelas mauritianus. Various analogues of agelasphin-9b (a lead compound) were synthesized, and the relationship between their structures and biological activities was examined using several assay systems. From the results, KRN7000, (2S,3S,4R)-1-O-(α- D-galactopyranosyl)-2-(N-hexacosanoylamino)-1,3,4-octadecanetriol, was selected as a candidate for clinical application.

3,4,6-Tri-O-benzyl-D-galactal (3) was directly converted into 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-galactose (5).Wittig reaction of 5 with alkyltriphenylphosphonium salts in the presence of n-butyllithium as the base afforded olefins 6a, b which could be readily transformed into phytosphingosines 1a, b via different routes; (i) at first group introduction and then double bond and protective group removal, and azido group generation via hydrogenation; (ii) 2-O-mesylation, then double bond and benzyl group removal via hydrogenation, and finally nitrogen introduction; (iii) selective double bond hydrogenation, then nitrogen introduction, and finally benzyl group removal and amino group generation via hydrogenation.Wittig reaction of 5 with alkyltriphenylphosphonium salt in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide as the base afforded diene 7a which proved to be a convenient precursor for sphinganine syntheses; thus, 2-O-mesylation, then double bond and benzyl group removal via hydrogenation and 1,3-O-acetylation, and finally nitrogen introduction and de-O-acetylation afforded 23a.Based on the convenient transformation of D-arabitol into the 1,3-O-benzylidene derivative 25 a further phytosphingosine synthesis is outlined. - Key Words: Phytosphingosine / Sphinganine / Galactal / 2-Deoxy-D-galactose / D-Arabitol / Carbohydrates
