Abstract

The chemical synthesis of phosphorothioate/phosphorodithioate analogues of 2-methoxy-lysophosphatidylcholine has been described. For the preparation of new sulfur derivatives of lysophosphatidylcholine both oxathiaphospholane and dithiaphospholane approaches have been employed. Each lysophospholipid analogue was synthesized as a series of five compounds, bearing different fatty acid residues both saturated (12:0, 14:0, 16:0, 18:0) and unsaturated (18:1). The methylation of glycerol 2-hydroxyl function was applied in order to increase the stability of prepared analogues by preventing 1 → 2 acyl migration. The cellular toxicity of newly synthesized 2-methoxy-lysophosphatidylcholine derivatives was measured using MTT viability assay and lactate dehydrogenase release method.
