T. Fujita et al., SIMPLE COMPOUNDS, 2-ALKYL-2-AMINO-1,3-PROPANEDIOLS HAVE POTENT IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE ACTIVITY, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(8), 1995, pp. 847-852
ISP-I (myriocin, thermozymocidin) was structurally simplified to give
2-amino-2-alkyl-1,3-propanediols that were also potent immunosuppressa
nts. Among the series, 2-amino-2-pentadecyl-1,3-propanediol most activ
ely prolonged rat skin allograft survival and was more effective than
ciclosporin.
