Marine cytotoxic jaspine B and its stereoisomers: biological activity and syntheses

Miroslava Martinková et al. Carbohydr Res. .

Abstract

Conformationally constrained sphingolipids such as anhydrophytosphingosines represented by jaspine B (also known as pachastrissamine) and its stereoisomers have become an attractive and timely target for total synthesis due to their significant biological activity as well as the unique structures. This review article describes the biological activity and chemistry of the natural jaspine B and its seven stereoisomers.

Keywords: Anhydrophytosphingosines; Asymmetric synthesis; Cytotoxic activity; Jaspine B; Sphingolipids; Stereoselective synthesis.
