Synthesis of migration-resistant hydroxyethoxy analogues of lysophosphatidic acid

Org Lett. 2003 Nov 27;5(24):4685-8. doi: 10.1021/ol0358758.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] The susceptibility of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to intramolecular acyl migration impedes the determination of specific receptor activation by the sn-1 and sn-2 LPA regioisomers. An efficient enantioselective synthesis of hydroxyethoxy (HE)-substituted analogues of sn-1-acyl and 2-acyl LPA derivatives that possess palmitoyl and oleoyl chains is described. While the palmitoyl derivatives fail to activate calcium release in cells transfected with LPA(2) or LPA(3) G-protein-coupled receptors, the LPA(3) receptor is activated by both 1-HE and 2-HE oleoyl LPA analogues with a potency 10-fold lower than that of the parent oleoyl LPA.
