First total synthesis of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-(N-palmitoyl-6′-amino-6′-deoxy-α-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol - a glycoglycerolipid of a marine alga with a high inhibitor activity against human Myt1-kinase

The first total synthesis of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-(N-palmitoyl-6'-amino-6'-deoxy-alpha-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol, a glycoglycerolipid isolated from a marine alga extract, is described. Starting from alpha-methylglucopyranoside the multistep strategy allows the stereoselective synthesis of the final compound using various protective group procedures as well as derivatization of partial molecule domains. The latter offers the development of lead structures for inhibitors of human Myt1-kinase. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
