G. Merriman et al., THE ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS AND ANTIINFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF NOVELARYL-SPHINGOLIPID PKC INHIBITORS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(21), 1995, pp. 2483-2488
Recently we identified three promising topically active antiinflammato
ry agents (2, 3, and 4) from a series of racemic aryl-sphingolipids th
at inhibit protein kinase C (PKC). We now wish to report the enantiose
lective synthesis of the aforementioned leads and their comparative bi
ological profile. The individual enantiomers examined are equipotent t
o their racemate in vitro and in vivo.
