A fluorescence-labeled sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate have been successfully synthesized from the oxazolidinone methyl ester derived from glycidol via monoalkylation and the stereoselective reduction of the resulting ketone. The labeled sphingosine was converted into its phosphate by treatment with sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) from mouse, and in platelets, and it was incorporated into the Chinese Hamster Ovarian (CHO) cells. In addition, MAPK was activated by NBD-Sph-1-P through Edg-1, Sph-1-P receptor.
