Sphingomyelin (SM) is a common sphingolipid in mammalian membranes and is known to be substantially involved in cellular events such as the formation of lipid rafts. Despite its biological significance, conformation of SM in a membrane environment remains
Efficient Synthesis of Sphingosine-1-phosphate, Ceramide-1-phosphate, Lysosphingomyelin, and Sphingomyelin
Kratzer, Bernd,Schmidt, Richard R.
, p. 957 - 964 (2007/10/02)
Readily available D-erythro-azidosphingosine is transformed into 3-O-silyl-protected derivative 6.Reduction of the azido group afforded 3-O-silyl-protected sphingosine 7 which was either converted into N-Fmoc-protected derivative 8 or via N-acylation into ceramide derivatives 16 and 17, respectively.Treatment of 6, 8, and 16 with bis(2-cyanoethoxy)(diisopropylamino)phosphane as monofunctional phsophitylating agent, subsequent oxidation and then removal of the protective groups furnished azidosphingosine-1-phosphate (11), sphingosine-1-phosphate (2), and ceramide-1-phosphate (4), respectively.Treatment of 8 and 17 with bis(diisopropylamino)(2-cyanoethoxy)phosphane as bifunctional phosphitylating agent and then with choline afforded after oxidation and subsequent deprotection lysosphingomyelin (3) and sphingomyelin (1), respectively in high overall yields.All final products are sterochemically pure and possess D-erythro configuration in the sphingosine moiety. - Key Words: Phosphosphingolipids, synthesis of/ Azidosphingosine/ Azidosphingosine-1-phosphate/ Phosphitylation/ Sphingosine phosphates
