Synthesis of a 2"-Deoxy-β-GalCer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structural studies of ternary complexes of CD1d/glycosyl ceramides/iNKT cells and CD1d/sulfatide/sulfatide reactive Type II NKT cells have shown how the polar moieties on the glycolipids interact with both the antigen presenting protein (CD1d) and the T cell receptors. However, these structures alone do not reveal the relative importance of these interactions. This study focuses on the synthesis of the previously unknown 2"-deoxy-β-galactosyl ceramide 2. This glycolipid is also evaluated for its ability to stimulate iNKT cells and sulfatide-reactive Type II NKT cells.

New CD1d agonists: Synthesis and biological activity of 6″-triazole-substituted α-galactosyl ceramides
Huisgen [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition of 6″-azido-6″-deoxy-α-galactosyl ceramide 11 with a range of alkynes (or a benzyne precursor) yielded a series of triazole-containing α-galactosyl ceramide (α-GalCer) analogues in high yield. These α-GalCer analogues and the precursor azide 11 were tested for their ability to activate iNKT cells and stimulate IL-2 cytokine secretion in vitro, and IFN-γ and I...
متن کاملTowards multivalent CD1d ligands: synthesis and biological activity of homodimeric α-galactosyl ceramide analogues
A library of dimeric CD1d ligands, containing two α-galactosyl ceramide (α-GalCer) units linked by spacers of varying lengths has been synthesised. The key dimerisation reactions were carried out via copper-catalysed click reactions between a 6"-azido-6"-deoxy-α-galactosyl ceramide derivative and various diynes. Each α-GalCer dimer was tested for its ability to stimulate iNKT cells.

Two deoxyglucose (DG) derivatives, (α,β)-2-deoxy-2-amino(ethylcarbamate)-D-glucose (ECB-DG) and (α,β)-2-deoxy-2-amino(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-D-glucose (DHP-DG), were synthesized and radiolabeled successfully with [99mTc(H2O)3(CO)3]+ complex. [99mTc]-ECB-DG and [99mTc]-DHP-DG complexes were prepared (96% and 93% radiochemical purities respectively) by using 46 mCi of Na99mTcO4 in 1 mL saline. Radi...

The synthesis of 5' - deoxynucleoside 5' - phosphonates which contains a 5' - CP bond in place of the 5' -COP bond of the naturally occuring nucleotides is described. The preparation of phosphonate derivatives of acyclo - nucleosides and a simple method for the conversion of 1-? -D-ribofuranosyl pyrimidines to the corresponding 1-? -D-arabinofuranosyl pyrimidines are also explained

Neonatal rat oligodendrocyte (OLG) cultures exposed to 6 h of gradual, progressive hypoxia in a GasPak (BBL, Becton Dickinson) apparatus were not injured or metabolically impaired, but instead showed a specific inhibition of de novo synthesis (measured by [3H]palmitic acid labeling) of the major myelin component galactosylceramide (GalCer). De novo synthesis of the 2-hydroxy fatty acid GalCer (...
