Design and synthesis of bioactive phospholipids

Abstract

Leishmaniasis is a disease that affects humans for several centuries, causing severe misformities and disabilities and even death. Alkyllysophospholipids is a class of ether phospholipids which have been studied for their anticancer and antileishmanial activity. Miltefosine (hexadecylphosphocholine) has been prescribed for the topical treatment of metastasized breast carcinoma to the skin (MiltexR) and as the first oral treatment for Leishmaniasis in India (ImpavidoR). In the present dissertation we designed and synthesized ether phospholipids substituted by aromatic or heteroaromatic rings in the lipid portion and choline as the head group. As heteroaromatic ring we utilized the 1,2,3-triazole, which was introduced using click chemistry and we studied the distance of the triazole ring from the head group and the substitution at position C4 of the triazole, with respect to the antileishmanial activity. As aromatic ring was selected the pharmacophore of the well-known herbicides dinitro ...
