All stereoisomers of N-acyl-4,5-disubstituted oxazolidinone phospholipid an
alogs were synthesized by regio and stereoselective epoxide ring opening ac
companied by introduction of an amino group. The (4R,5S)-derivative showed
stronger inhibitory activity toward type II phospholipase A, than the 4-sub
stituted oxazolidinone phospholipid analog previously reported. (C) 1998 El
