Jh. Ye et al., GPI MEMBRANE ANCHORS - SYNTHESIS AND FUNCTIONAL-EVALUATION OF AMINOGLUCOSYL PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL CORE ANALOGS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(14), 1996, pp. 1715-1718
Analogs of GPI membrane anchor precursors were prepared from chiral in
ositol 1 and evaluated as substrates in rodent and trypanosomal cell-f
ree incubates. Di-octanoyl GlcN alpha-PI 5b was an efficient mannose a
cceptor whereas di-palmitoyl GlcN alpha-PI 5a was unexpectedly refract
ory. Di-octanoyl beta-anomer 8 was mannosylated only under conditions
that permitted acylation of the inositol residue. Copyright (C) 1996 E
