This invention provides lipids having: 1) a glycerol backbone; 2) a hydrocarbon chain, preferably saturated and containing 16 or 18 carbon atoms, attached to C-1 of the backbone by an ether linkage; 3) a methyl group attached to C-2 of the backbone, preferably by an ether linkage; and, 4) a sugar attached to C-3 of the glycerol backbone in either the alpha or beta anomeric configuration, the sugar being altered by modification of, or substitution for, one or more of its hydroxyl groups. Also provided herein are ether-lipid-containing compositions, as well as methods of administering such compositions to animals, for example, those afflicted with cancers, as well as various other diseases and disorders.
本发明提供了具有以下特征的脂质:1)甘油骨架;2)连接到骨架C-1的烃链,优选为饱和的含有16或18个碳原子;3)连接到骨架C-2的甲基基团,优选为醚键连接;4)连接到甘油骨架C-3的糖,以α或β异构构型存在,该糖通过修饰或替换其一个或多个羟基而被改变。此外,本文还提供了含有醚脂质的组合物,以及将这些组合物用于动物,例如那些患有癌症以及其他各种疾病和障碍的动物的方法。
