Synthesis of the phosphodisaccharide repeat of antigenic lipophosphoglycan of Leishmania donovani parasite
摘要:
Synthesis of the immunologically important and structurally unusual phosphodisaccharide repeat unit (Galp1,4 beta-Manp-1 alpha-phosphate) of the lipophosphoglycan cell surface GPI molecule of the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani has been carried out using lactose as the starting material. The synthesis provides a short and stereoselective route for the preparation of this phosphosaccharide in a preparative scale. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
