Effect of Aromatic Short-Chain Analogues of Ceramide on Axonal Growth in Hippocampal Neurons
摘要:
A series of D-erythro- and L-threo-ceramide analogues was synthesized and investigated for their ability to reverse the inhibitory effects of fumonisin B-1 (FB1) on axonal growth in hippocampal neurons. The analogues contained either a C-7 Side chain or a phenyl group substituted for the C-13 residue present in naturally occurring ceramides, while the N-acyl chain length was reduced from C-16-C-24 to C-2-C-8. D-erythro-Ceramide 18a with a C-7 Side chain and an N-acetyl residue and D-erythro-ceramide 20c with an aromatic side chain and an N-hexanoyl residue were most active in reversing the inhibitory effects of FB1 on axonal growth, although the mechanism remains unclear.

A new approach to the synthesis of sphingoid bases has been developed. The strategy is based on Sonogashira coupling of a chiral acetylenic carbamate that can be prepared in enantiomerically enriched form from 2,3-epoxy-4-pentyn-1-ol, which is readily accessible by Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation. Several N-Boc-sphingadienines and aromatic ceramide analogs have been synthesized.
