I. Ricolattes et al., A SHORT ROUTE TO ANALOGS OF GALACTOSPHINGOLIPIDS POSSESSING ANTI-HIV AND ANTI-ASPERGILLUS ACTIVITY, New journal of chemistry, 19(4), 1995, pp. 341-344
A new series of analogs of galactosphingolipids prepared in three step
s from unprotected lactose is described. These new glycolipids possess
activity against both HIV and Aspergillus fumigatus, a yeast responsi
ble for opportunistic infections in AIDS patients.
