Chiral vinylphosphonate and phosphonate analogues of the immunosuppressive agent FTY720

J Org Chem. 2009 Apr 17;74(8):3192-5. doi: 10.1021/jo900023u.

Abstract

The first enantioselective synthesis of chiral isosteric phosphonate analogues of FTY720 is described. One of these analogues, FTY720-(E)-vinylphosphonate (S)-5, but not its R enantiomer, elicited a potent antiapoptotic effect in intestinal epithelial cells, suggesting that it exerts its action via the enantioselective activation of a receptor. (S)-5 failed to activate the sphingosine 1-phosphate type 1 (S1P(1)) receptor.
