D and L etherlipid stereoisomers and liposomes
-
Page column 12, (2008/06/13)
A liposome having a lipid bilayer, where the lipid bilayer includes either the L or D stereoisomer of an ether lipid or a non-equal mixture of both. Most preferably the liposome also comprises (a) an underivatized phosphatidylcholine; (b) a sterol; (c) about 5-20 mole % of a phosphatidylethanolamine linked to a dicarboxylic acid at the ethanolamine group of the phosphatidylethanolamine, and (d) greater than about 10 mole % to less than about 30 mole % of either the L or D stereoisomer of an ether lipid. The liposome may be used as an anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory agent.

1-O-octadecyl-3-O-trityl-glycerol and 1-O-benzyl-3-O-trityl-glycerol can be prepared by asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation in O.P.> 96% and 87-88% respectively.

The synthesis of long-chain 2-O-benzyl-3-O-alkyl-sn-glycerols 5 was improved, making these compounds easily accessible for glycosylation experiments.Glycosylation with α-acetobromomaltose following a modified Koenings-Knorr procedure after removal of the protective groups yielded the title compound 9 in good yields.These compounds represent examples of alkyl glyceryl ether lysoglycolipids.Some properties of these amphiphilic compounds with a nonionic carbohydrate head-group differ not much (critical micell concentration, hemolytic activity), other properties differ very much (antitumor efficiency) from the properties of the analogous compounds with a zwitterionic phosphorylcholine head-group.
