Abstract
Ether lipids are compounds present in many living organisms including humans that feature an ether bond linkage at the sn-1 position of the glycerol. This class of lipids features singular structural roles and biological functions. Alkyl ether lipids and alkenyl ether lipids (also identified as plasmalogens) correspond to the two sub-classes of naturally occurring ether lipids. In 1979 the discovery of the structure of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) that belongs to the alkyl ether class of lipids increased the interest in these bioactive lipids and further promoted the synthesis of non-natural ether lipids that was initiated in the late 60's with the development of edelfosine (an anticancer drug). More recently, ohmline, a glyco glycero ether lipid that modulates selectively SK3 ion channels and reduces in vivo the occurrence of bone metastases, and other glyco glycero ether also identified as GAEL (glycosylated antitumor ether lipids) that exhibit promising anticancer properties renew the interest in this class of compounds. Indeed, ether lipid represent a new and promising class of compounds featuring the capacity to modulate selectively the activity of some membrane proteins or, for other compounds, feature antiproliferative properties via an original mechanism of action. The increasing interest in studying ether lipids for fundamental and applied researches invited to review the methodologies developed to prepare ether lipids. In this review we focus on the synthetic method used for the preparation of alkyl ether lipids either naturally occurring ether lipids (e.g., PAF) or synthetic derivatives that were developed to study their biological properties. The synthesis of neutral or charged ether lipids are reported with the aim to assemble in this review the most frequently used methodologies to prepare this specific class of compounds.

Abstract
Phospholipids and liposomes have been the subjects of considerable attention because of their importance in biological systems. We have efficiently synthesized novel nucleoside-based phospholipids in six-step sequences starting from their corresponding nucleosides. These nucleoside-based phospholipids self-assemble into liposome-like structures in aqueous solutions. We have analyzed the structures of these liposomes by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and confocal microscopy.

Abstract
In order to compare electronic and conformational properties of PAF-agonists and PAF-antagonists, 14 analogues structurally related to PAF were studied. A common conformation of the glycerol backbone was present in all agonists and all constrained or flexible antagonists. The distinction between agonists and antagonists appears to be casted on position-2 where the folded conformation of the substituent for agonists should be the most probable. In position-3 the gauche conformation can be adopted by all the analysed compounds. The electrostatic potential well at -30 kcal/mol stretches to the carbonyl group in position-2 in the folded conformation of the agonists. On the contrary, in constrained antagonists, a second negative zone appears around the carbamate group. Given the modelling results, the triethylammonium PAF analogue considered in literature as a weak agonist, was resynthesized and proved to be more potent than previously reported. These experimental results confirm our hypothesis in terms of a common conformation of agonist and antagonist PAF-like molecules.

Abstract
A chiral high-performance liquid-chromatographic separation method was developed for the analysis of some glycerol-based, ether-linked platelet-activating factor precursors. Using a D-naphthylalanine-type Pirkle-column and tetrahydrofuran-hexane eluents, the retention-structure relationships were determined for a large number of glycerol ether derivatives. The derivatives leading to the highest chiral selectivity factors in the analytical separations were surveyed for their applicability in large-scale isolation of chiral synthetic intermediates.
