Carbohydr Res. 2010 Apr 19;345(6):750-60. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2010.01.015. Epub 2010 Jan 29.

Abstract

The first total synthesis of caminoside B, a novel marine antimicrobial glycolipid isolated from the marine sponge Caminus sphaeroconia, was developed. This marine small molecule inhibitor (IC(50)=20 microM) targeting type III secretory pathway of bacterial pathogenesis was assembled in good yield via a '2+2+1' strategy based on stereocontrolled construction of the four glycosidic linkages.
