Abstract
An efficient catalytic one-pot synthesis of TBDMS-protected diacylglycerols has been developed, starting from enantiopure glycidol. Subsequent migration-free deprotection leads to stereo- and regiochemically pure diacylglycerols. This novel strategy has been applied to the synthesis of a major Mycobacterium tuberculosis phospholipid, its desmethyl analogue, and platelet activating factor.

Abstract
It has been shown that platelet-activating factor (PAF) specimens prepared via acetylation of 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PF) with acetic anhydride are heterogeneous. The contaminated compound was isolated and identified to be the structural isomer of PAF, 1-alkyl-3-acetyl-sn-glycero-2-phosphocholine (iso-PAF). It appeared, that iso-PAF is formed when performing the reaction in the presence of organic bases,but not under acid catalysis. The mechanism of iso-PAF formation is discussed.

Abstract
As a preliminary study to image platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptors in vivo, comparative study of biodistribution between 1-O-hexadecy1-2-O-N, N-dimethylcarbamoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [choline-methyl-11C](L-[11C]dimethylcarbamoyl-PAF) and nonspecific PAF analog, 3-O-hexadecyl-2-O-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine [choline-methyl-11C](D-[11C]-dimethylcarbamoyl-PAF) was carried out in both normal and tumor-bearing mice. Higher accumulation of L-[11C]dimethylcarbamoyl-PAF than D-[11C]dimethylcarbamoyl-PAF was observed in normal mice spleen. The co-administration of PAF antagonists dose-dependently reduced the radioactivity level of the L-isomer only in the spleen. In mice bearing Ehrlich tumors and Sarcoma 180, more L-than the D-[11C]-isomer was accumulated in the tumor and spleen. We found that specific accumulation sites for L-[11C]dimethylcarbamoyl-PAF exist in the spleen and tumors than in other tissues. Moreover, the comparison of accumulation between L- and D-[11C] dimethylcarbamoyl-PAF would be a useful procedure for estimation of PAF receptors in vivo.

Abstract
A simple chemical procedure for synthesis of 1-O-alkyl-(rac or sn)-glycero-3-phosphocholine (alkyl analog of lysophosphatidylcholine, II) and platelet activating factor (PAF), 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (III) has been described. The key step of the method is the decomposition of 1-O-hexadecyl-3-diazohydroxyacetone (A. K. Hajra, T. V. Saraswathi and A. K. Das, 1983. Chem. Phys. Lipids. 33: 179-193) with phosphocholine to synthesize 1-O-hexadecyl dihydroxyacetone-3-phosphocholine (I). Conditions for this phosphorolysis were studied with respect to the reaction medium, temperature, and optimum proportion of the reactants. Compound (I) was quantitatively reduced with NaBH4 to synthesize (II) which was acetylated to prepare compound (III). Phospholipase A2 hydrolysis of compound (III) followed by separation of the products afforded the unreacted sn-3-hexadecyl isomer (III) and sn-1-hexadecyl isomer (II) which was acetylated to PAF. The structures of the compounds were verified by NMR and FAB-MS spectra, and their biological activities were determined by measuring the release of serotonin from rabbit blood platelets in response to different doses of these compounds. The suitability of the method as a general technique for synthesis of different ether phosphoglycerides is discussed.

Abstract
The synthesis of heterocyclic analogues of the platelet activating factor is described. The preparation starts with acylating rac-tetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, with palmitoyl chloride to form the amide linkage. Following ester reduction, the phosphocholine part is introduced via 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane and subsequent ring opening with trimethylamine under pressure. Furthermore, the related L-thiazolidine analogue is prepared using the same procedure. In addition the sulfinyl and sulfonyl derivatives of this compound are obtained by oxidation with 3-chloro-perbencoic acid. From one sulfinyl intermediate the diastereomeres are separated and their conformations are determinated by 13C-NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Previously, we reported the formation of four kinds of phosphatidylcholines (PC) with a short-chain monocarboxylate, dicarboxylate, dicarboxylate semialdehyde or omega-hydroxymonocarboxylate group by oxidation of PCs containing polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in an FeSO4/ascorbate/EDTA system. In this study, we identified these novel phospholipids by GC-MS as oxidation products of two alkyl ether-linked PCs, 1-O-hexadecyl-2-docosahexaenoyl and 1-O-hexadecyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine (GPC). The sn-2-acyl moieties of oxidatively fragmented PCs derived from PCs containing docosahexaenoate were one methylene unit shorter than those detected as major oxidation products of PCs containing arachidonate. The platelet-aggregations induced by the oxidized PCs were all inhibited by FR-900452, an antagonist of platelet activating factor (PAF). The PAF-like activity of oxidized 1-O-hexadecyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-GPC, which was equivalent of 1372 +/- 262 pmol 16:0-PAF/mumol starting PC, was 5 times that of oxidized 1-O-hexadecyl-2-arachidonoyl-GPC and 150 times that of oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-GPC, suggesting that both an sn-1-alkyl ether linkage and an sn-2-acyl group with a short chain length are important structural requirements for induction of platelet aggregation. These possibilities were confirmed by experiments on the platelet-aggregating activities of synthetic PAF-like compounds. Quantitative measurements by GC-MS of PAF-like phospholipids formed by lipid peroxidation and the activities of synthetic PAF-like phospholipids, suggested that the activities of most oxidized PCs containing PUFA were ascribable to those of PCs with an sn-2-short-chain monocarboxylate group.

Abstract
Four naturally occurring platelet-activating factor (PAF) analogs, 1-alk-1'-enyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-hexadecanoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-octadecanoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, stimulated human neutrophils (PMN) to mobilize Ca2+, degranulate, and produce superoxide anion. They were, respectively, 5-, 300-, 500-, and 4000-fold weaker than PAF in each assay; inhibited PMN-binding of [3H]PAF at concentrations paralleling their biological potencies; and showed sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of PAF antagonists. PAF and the analogs, moreover, desensitized PMN responses to each other but not to leukotriene B4 and actually increased (or primed) PMN responses to N-formyl-MET-LEU-PHE. Finally, 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoate-enhanced PMN responses to PAF and the analogs without enhancing the actions of other stimuli. It stereospecifically raised each analog's potency by as much as 100-fold and converted a fifth natural analog, 1-alk-1'-enyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine from inactive to a weak stimulator of PMN. PAF and its analogs thus represent a structurally diverse family of cell-derived phospholipids which can activate, prime, and desensitize neutrophils by using a common, apparently PAF receptor-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The synthesis of 1-O-alkyl-2-(R)-hydroxypropane-3-phosphonocholine is described. An efficient alkylation procedure using (NaH/DMSO) catalysis is also described and applied to the synthetic scheme. The key intermediate 1-O-alkyl-2-(R)-O-benzyl-3-bromopropane was phosphonylated using tris(methylsilyl)phosphite; the resulting phosphonic acid was coupled to choline using trichloroacetonitrile/pyridine or triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride/pyridine followed by catalytic hydrogenation to yield 1-O-alkyl-2(R)-hydroxypropane-3-phosphonocholine.

Abstract
Platelet activating factor (PAF), a naturally occurring phospholipid with many potent physiological and pharmacological activities, is implicated as a mediator of many diseases. An immunoassay for PAF would greatly improve quantitation, and hence PAF-specific antibodies were required. Chemically-reactive analogs of PAF, containing an aldehyde group at the end of the 1-O-alkyl chain (hexyl or dodecyl), were synthesized from readily available materials. During the multi-step synthetic procedure, the aldehyde group was protected as an acetal, which was converted by mild acidic hydrolysis to the aldehyde immediately prior to protein coupling. These analogs were coupled to methylated bovine serum albumin and the resultant conjugates were injected into rabbits. Antibodies to PAF were detected using a solid phase radioimmunoassay based on Protein A-Sepharose. The dodecyl PAF conjugate proved to be the more immunogenic conjugate with more than half of the rabbits producing significant levels of antibodies (at least a 10-fold increase in radioactive uptake over pre-immune levels). Results from solid phase immunoassays employing nitrocellulose discs impregnated with PAF, lysoPAF, lecithin, lysolecithin and 2-O-methyl-lysoPAF indicated that the antibodies recognized only PAF. PAF-specific antibodies were isolated by affinity chromatography using a column of PAF-poly(lysine) conjugated to carboxy-activated polyacrylamide. The antibodies may be employed in a sensitive and specific immunoassay for PAF and for many other studies involving PAF.

Abstract
Phosphatidylsulfocholine (PSC), the sulfonium analogue of phosphatidylcholine (PC), occurs naturally in some diatoms. The replacement of the [formula; see text] group by a [formula; see text] results in an increase in the polar head group size in PSC relative to that of PC, consistent with the observed increase in permeability of PSC bilayers towards urea. It was of interest to see whether replacement of the [formula; see text] group in platelet activating factor (PAF) by an [formula; see text] group leads to any change in platelet aggregation or other physiological activity. Synthesis of the sulfonium analogue of PAF was carried out by suitable modifications of known procedures. The PAF-sulfonium analogue was found to have almost the same platelet aggregating activity as PAF itself, in the concentration range 1-20 microM, but a much lower activity in the range 0.01-1 microM. The analogue had little or no effect on the platelet aggregation activity of PAF when added in the concentration range 0.01-1 microM and had about half the hypotensive activity of PAF towards hypertensive CDF male rats. The sulfonium analogue, however, was much more cytotoxic to HL-60 cells than PAF itself, in the concentration range 0-15 microM; replacement of the acetate group by a benzyl group increased the cytotoxicity to the level of that of the methoxy analogue of PAF. Thus, replacement of the [formula; see text] group by a [formula; see text] group in the polar head group region of PAF results in a relatively small change in its platelet aggregation activity and a decrease in its hypotensive activity, but greatly increases its antitumor activity.

Abstract
A novel stereospecific synthesis of antitumor active thioether analogs of platelet-activating factor (PAF) is reported. The synthesis is based upon: i) the use of D-serine to provide the chiral center for the construction of the optically active phospholipid molecule; ii) development of the sn-1-thioalkyl function via thioacetate displacement of methanesulfonate-activated primary hydroxyl group followed by alkylation of the sn-1-thiolate function; and iii) introduction of the phosphocholine moiety through the 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane/trimethylamine sequence. The entire scheme relies on the use of a single protecting group. The synthetic thioether phospholipid 1-S-hexadecyl-2-N-acetamidodeoxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine has been shown to be a potent antitumor active phospholipid, exhibiting tumor cytotoxicity against a lymphoblastoid lymphoma (Li-A) cell line and a malignant histiocytic (DHL-4) cell line of human origin at the same level of potency as ET-18-OMe and 1-O-octadecyl-2-N-acetamidodeoxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. The synthetic method described has a great deal of flexibility, providing a convenient general route to a wide range of thioether PAF analogs.

Abstract
Nine simple and structurally flexible PAF antagonists were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on PAF induced platelet aggregation were measured. Compounds with PAF antagonistic activity exhibited a negative electrostatic potential generated by two trimethoxyphenyl groups (isocontour at -10 Kcal/mole) at various distances between the negative clouds. The optimal distance between the atoms generating the "cache-oreilles" system for exhibiting potent PAF antagonistic activity is estimated to be 11-13 A. In the flexible molecules studied, the dispersion of the electronic distribution is not necessarily favorable for anti-PAF activity. The data support the simple bipolarized model for the PAF receptor that has been proposed by the authors.

Abstract
Racemic 1-O-(2-methyloctadecyl)-2-O-acetyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine, a branched chain PAF species, was prepared by chemical synthesis and investigated for biological activity on human blood platelets in vitro. The synthesis started from 2-O-benzylglycerol and 2-methyloctadecyl-1-methyl sulfonate and was accomplished in five reaction steps. A comparison with 'octadecyl-rich' PAF showed that the PAF species described here exerts a 22-fold weaker proaggregatory activity. Based on [3H]PAF-binding studies, an obstruction of PAF-binding or the signal transduction by the branched alkyl chain in C-1 position of the glycerol backbone is suggested.

Abstract
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECS) were challenged with thrombin in the presence of [3H]acetate to stimulate the production of radiolabeled platelet activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-[3H]acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 1-O-alkyl-2-[3H]acetyl-GPC). The 3H-product was isolated by thin-layer chromatography, and 1-radyl-2[3H],3- diacetylglycerols were prepared by phospholipase C digestion and subsequent acetylation at the sn-3 position. When the 1-radyl-2[3H],3-diacetylglycerols were analyzed by zonal thin-layer chromatography, 96-97% of the radiolabeled derivative migrated with 1-acyl-2,3-diacetylglycerol standard. Only minor amounts (3-4%) of 1-alkyl-2[3H],3-diacetylglycerol were observed, demonstrating that the predominant acetylated product synthesized by thrombin-stimulated HUVECS was 1-acyl-2-[3H]acetyl-GPC. This relative abundance of 1-acyl-2-[3H]-acetyl-GPC was not significantly affected by thrombin dose, incubation time, or cell passage, and was also observed in HUVECS challenged with ionophore A23187. In addition, the acetylated product from ionophore A23187- or bradykinin-stimulated bovine aortic endothelial cells contained 90% 1-acyl-2-[3H]acetyl-GPC, suggesting that the synthesis of the 1-acyl PAF analog is not unique to HUVECS. These findings demonstrate that PAF is a minor synthetic component of HUVECS and bovine aortic endothelial cells. In light of the integral role which the vascular endothelial cell plays in the regulation of thrombosis, these findings also suggest that the production of 1-acyl-2-acetyl-GPC may be biologically important.

Abstract
Acrylyl-PAF, a novel platelet-activating factor analogue with substantial agonist properties, was synthesized from lyso-PAF and acrylyl chloride. Incubation of acrylyl-PAF with partially purified human serum acetylhydrolase inhibited the action of acetylhydrolase on PAF. Kinetic studies using several concentrations of PAF as well as acrylyl-PAF suggested that acrylyl-PAF was a competitive inhibitor of the acetylhydrolase. Reciprocal Lineweaver-Burk plots and Dixon plots showed that acrylyl-PAF has an apparent Ki of 2.6 microM. Radiolabeled 18: 0-acrylyl-PAF was also synthesized. Studies comparing the effectiveness of acrylyl-PAF as a substrate for the acetylhydrolase versus PAF show that approximately 60% more PAF is metabolized by acetylhydrolase than acrylyl-PAF under identical conditions. Acrylyl-PAF was shown to aggregate washed rabbit platelets and to stimulate the release of glucose in the perfused rat liver. Dose-response curves illustrate that acrylyl-PAF was about half an order of magnitude less potent than PAF as an agonist. Tissue extracts of freeze-clamped livers that were perfused with radiolabeled acrylyl-APF indicated that approximately 26% of the label associated with acrylyl-PAF washed through the liver into the perfusate, while 48% of the acrylyl-PAF remained intact in the liver. Only 9% of the acrylyl-PAF was converted to k lyso-PAF with the ramainder metabolized to other lipids. This observations stands in contrast with livers perfused with radiolabeled PAF where less than 1% of the activity associated with PAF washed through the liver while about 70% remained as intact PAF and 30% was converted to lyso-PAF. Repeated bolus infusions of acrylyl-PAF exhibited desensitization of the glycogenolytic response of the perfused rat liver. The present study describes teh synthesis and characterization of acrylyl-PAF, which was shown to be: (a) poorly hydrolyzed by the human serum acetylhydrolase; (b) a competitive inhibitor of the acetylhydrolase; and (c) an agonist with potent activity in both platelet aggregation and hepatic glycogenolytic responses.

Abstract
Described is a reaction sequence for the total synthesis of lyso platelet activating factor (lysoPAF; 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) and its enantiomer. The procedure is versatile and yields optically pure isomers of defined chain length. The synthesis is equally suited for the preparation of lysoPAF analogues and its enantiomers with unsaturation in the long aliphatic chain. First, rac-1(3)-O-alkylglycerol is prepared by alkylation of rac-isopropylideneglycerol with alkyl methanesulfonate followed by acid-catalyzed removal of the ketal group. The primary hydroxy group of alkylglycerol is then protected by tritylation, the secondary hydroxy group is acylated, and the protective trityl group is removed under mild acidic conditions with boric acid on silicic acid, essentially without acyl migration. Condensation of the diradylglycerol with bromoethyl dichlorophosphate in diethyl ether, hydrolysis of the resulting chloride, and nucleophilic displacement of the bromine with trimethylamine gives rac-1-O-alkyl-2-acylglycero-3-phosphocholine in good overall yield. The racemic alkylacylglycerophosphocholine is finally treated with snake venom phospholipase A2 (Ophiophagus hannah) which affords 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lysoPAF) of natural configuration in optically pure form. The "unnatural" 3-O-alkyl-2-O-acyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine enantiomer, which is not susceptible to phospholipase A2 cleavage, gives 3-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine upon deacylation with methanolic sodium hydroxide. Homogeneity and structure of the intermediates and final products were ascertained by carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy on monomeric solutions.

Abstract
The multistep synthesis of a platelet activating factor (PAF) analog having a reactive aldehyde group at the omega-end of the sn-1 position is described. A novel ozonolysis of a double bond was employed to generate the aldehyde group in high yield under mild conditions. The aldehyde group was generated at the last step of the synthesis to avoid any reactions of protection and deprotection. The natural chiral center at the sn-2 position was introduced at the first step so that no steric resolution of the final product was needed. This analog of PAF was conjugated to thyroglobulin via reductive amination and then used to immunize rabbits for production of specific antibodies. The purified antibodies bind stereospecifically to tritiated PAF and crossreact minimally with lyso-PAF, plasmalogens and other phospholipids. The solid-phase radioimmunoassay thus developed detects as low as 20 pg of PAF per assay tube and should be applicable to the quantitation of PAF in biological systems.

Abstract
The synthesis of azathia analogues of the platelet activating factor with oxygen and sulphur-containing sidechains is reported. The starting point is 1-acetylthio-3-hydroxy-2-propaneamine-HCl, which permits the formation of the thioether and the acetamido linkage in one step. The phosphocholine part is introduced via 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane and subsequent ring opening with trimethylamine under pressure.

Abstract
A stereocontrolled route to 1-palmitoyl-2-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine from (R)-glycidyl tosylate is described. This method gives very high enantioselectivity (93-96% enantiomeric excess) and can be used to prepare 3-acyl-2-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholines from (S)-glycidyl tosylate. The key step is the preparation of 1-O-benzyl-sn-glycerol 3-tosylate by the boron trifluoride etherate catalyzed regio- and stereo-specific opening of the epoxide ring with excess benzyl alcohol. The alkyl group is introduced using alkyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in the presence of excess 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine. Debenzylation gives 2-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-arenesulfonate, which is acylated and then converted into the phosphocholine. The use of chiral glycidyl derivatives as starting materials for the synthesis of glycerophospholipids is discussed.

Abstract
In order to undertake a quantitative assessment of the contribution of the hydrophobic effect of the etheroxid chain to agonistic activity, it was necessary to include in the calculated data a highly lipophilic platelet-activating factor (PAF) analogue. The synthesis of such a compound--racemic 1-O-docosyl-2-O-acetylglycero-3-phosphocholine (C22 PAF)--is described. The regression analysis performed with data of 14 etheroxid analogues (reviewed by Godfroid et al., 1987), combined with data obtained with C22 PAF, is significant with respect to a parabolic evolution between lipophilicity of the chain and the logarithm of relative platelet stimulation. This result is characteristic of a hydrophobic interaction between the agonist and the PAF receptor.

Abstract
Racemic heavy isotope analogs of 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lysoPAF) and 1-O-alkyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAF) were prepared for use as internal standards to facilitate quantitative studies based on mass spectrometry. Starting from pentadecane-1,15-diol and rac-glycerol-1,2-acetonide, a convergent synthesis of 1-O-[16'-2H3]hexadecyl and 1-O-[18'-2H3]octadecyl rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine and their acetyl derivatives is described. Three deuterium atoms were introduced at the terminal position of the 1-O-alkyl group by displacement of the p-toluensulfonyl group from 1-O-alkyl-15'-p-toluensulfonate and 1-O-alkyl-17'-p-toluensulfonate with [2H3]-methylmagnesium iodide. The 1-O-alkyl-17'-p-toluensulfonate was obtained by reaction of the 1-O-alkyl-15'-p-toluensulfonate with allylmagnesium bromide, followed by reductive ozonolysis and treatment with p-toluene-sulfonyl chloride. The hydroxyl group at C-2 was protected by a benzyl group and removed at a late stage in the synthesis. This provided the corresponding lyso-derivatives or allowed preparation of racemic PAF by subsequent acetylation of the free hydroxy group. The phosphocholine moiety was introduced at glycerol C-3 by reaction with bromoethyldichlorophosphate and trimethylamine. The synthetic compounds were analyzed by FAB/MS and GC/NICIMS. They were shown to contain less than 0.6% protium impurity.

Abstract
A photoreactive, radioiodinated derivative of platelet activating factor (PAF), 1-O-(4-azido-2-hydroxy-3-iodobenzamido)undecyl-2-O-acetyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine ([125I]AAGP), was synthesized and used as a photoaffinity probe to study the PAF binding sites in rabbit platelet membranes. The nonradioactive analog, IAAGP, induced rabbit platelet aggregation with an EC50 value of 3.2 +/- 1.9 nM as compared to 0.40 +/- 0.25 nM for PAF. Specific binding of [125I]AAGP to rabbit platelet membranes was saturable with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.4 +/- 0.7 nM and a receptor density (Bmax) of 1.1 +/- 0.2 pmol/mg protein. Photoaffinity labeling of platelet membranes with [125I]AAGP revealed several 125I-labeled components by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A protein species with apparent molecular weight of 52,000 was consistently observed and inhibited significantly by unlabeled PAF at nanomolar concentrations. The labeling was specific since the PAF antagonists, SRI-63,675 and L-652,731, at 1 uM also blocked the appearance of this band; whereas lysoPAF was not effective at the same concentration. These results suggest that the binding sites of PAF receptor in rabbit platelets reside in the polypeptide of Mr = 52,000.

Abstract
A vasodepressor phospholipid fraction named Depressor-IA from a bovine brain lipid extract was analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry as tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives after hydrolysis with phospholipase C. Results show that Depressor-IA is a mixture of 3 platelet-activating factors and 17 1-acyl analogues. Three platelet-activating factors having sn-1-O-hexadecyl, octadecyl, and octadecenyl groups were suggested to account for the hypotensive activity of Depressor-IA, although the total amount of 1-acyl analogues of platelet-activating factor was much more than that of platelet-activating factor in the purified Depressor-IA. 1-Long-chain acyl-2-short-chain acyl-glycero-3-phosphocholines identified in Depressor-IA included novel molecular analogues having sn-2-propionyl, acryloyl, butyryl, valeryl, caproyl, and hepatonoyl groups.

Abstract
New analogues of platelet activating factor (PAF), in which the phosphate and trimethylammonium moieties were replaced with an acylcarbamoyl moiety and a quaternary cyclic ammonium group, were synthesized. Their biological activities as PAF antagonists were evaluated by the inhibition of PAF-induced rabbit platelet aggregation in vitro and protective effects on PAF-induced hypotension in rats and PAF-induced death in mice. Investigation of structure-activity relationships revealed that PAF antagonist activity is strongly influenced by the acyl substituent of the nitrogen atom on the carbamoyl group and the nature of the polar head group at the 3-position of the glycerin backbone. Among the compounds tested, 2-[[N-acetyl-N-[[2-methoxy-3-[ (octadecylcarbamoyl)oxy]propoxy]-carbonyl]amino] methyl]-1-ethylpyridinium chloride (21, CV-6209) was one of the most potent compounds in the in vitro assay (IC50 = 7.5 X 10(-8) M) and the most potent and long-lasting in the in vivo assays. (R)-(-)-21 and (S)-(+)-21 were also synthesized, and no significant differences were observed in PAF antagonist activity in vitro and an inhibitory effect on PAF induced hypotension in vivo between (RS)-21 and its enantiomers.

Abstract
Both 1,2-diacyl- and 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerols are released during stimulation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). 1,2-Diacylglycerols have received intense interest as intracellular "second messengers" due to their ability to activate protein kinase C (Ca2+ phospholipid-dependent enzyme). However, little is known about bioactivities of the alkylacylglycerols. This study compared the ability of 1,2-diacyl- and 1-O-alkyl-2-acylglycerols to modulate the respiratory burst of stimulated PMNL, a response which depends on the activation of an NADPH oxidase to generate bactericidal species of reduced oxygen. Direct stimulation by N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe caused an abrupt release of H2O2 which ceased within 2.5 min. Preincubation with diacylglycerols (1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol,5-30 microM, and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol,2-5 microM) caused a decrease in lag time, 3-fold increase in initial rate of H2O2 release, and marked prolongation of the response to N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (features characteristic of a priming effect). Preincubation with alkylacylglycerols (1-O-delta 9-octadecenyl-2-acetylglycerol, 5-30 microM, and 1-O-octyl-2-octanoylglycerol, 20-50 microM) primed initiation (shortened lag time and increased velocity) but, in contrast to diacylglycerols, did not alter duration of H2O2 release. While low concentrations of diacylglycerols (5-30 microM) primed PMNL, higher concentrations (greater than or equal to 70 microM) stimulated the cells directly. In contrast, higher (70-100 microM) concentrations of alkylacylglycerols did not prime the responses but, in fact, inhibited priming (especially of duration) induced by diacylglycerol. The high concentrations of alkylacylglycerol also inhibited direct stimulation induced by high concentrations of diacylglycerol. Direct stimulation by high concentrations of diacylglycerol probably involves activation of protein kinase C, whereas alkylacylglycerol was found to inhibit activation of protein kinase C by diacylglycerol in vitro. Thus, diacylglycerols are complete priming agonists, altering both rate and duration of the response. In contrast, alkylacylglycerols may have biphasic, concentration-related effects in modulation of functions of PMNL. At low concentrations, they may facilitate initiation of functional events; however, as their concentration increases, they may serve to terminate responses. The distinct priming effects of these diglycerides also reveal that priming can involve at least two distinct events: 1) initiation and 2) prolongation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine (platelet activating factor, PAF), (1.9 mumol) was prepared from the total lipid extract of the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis 9 x 10(7) cells. The procedure involved mild alkaline hydrolysis of the total lipids, followed by acetylation and purification of the product by preparative TLC and HPLC. The yield was 60% with respect to the content of 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine in the total lipids, determined after preparative TLC. The alkyl side chain of the semisynthetic PAF was composed of hexadecyl residue. Our product was identified as PAF according to its biological activity, the chromatographic behaviour on TLC and HPLC, the physicochemical properties and the behaviour under treatment with PLA2 and Lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus. The above procedure is proposed as a facile, inexpensive and convenient method.

Abstract
RP and SP isomers of 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-3-thiophosphocholine (AGEPsC) have been synthesized. The activity of these isomers in platelet aggregation and serotonin secretion was compared with that of 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-3-phosphocholine (AGEPC). The results show that (SP)-AGEPsC has the same activity as AGEPC within experimental error in both assays. The RP isomer, however, is only 0.6-2% as active as AGEPC in platelet aggregation and serotonin release. The results suggest that the phosphate group of AGEPC is likely to be involved in the interactions with its receptor, at least in the events leading to platelet aggregation and secretion.

Abstract
The synthesis and biological characterization of some 3-carboxylate isosteres of PAF-acether structurally modified in positions 1 (ether, carbamate), 2 (acetoyl, ethoxy), and 3 (chain length and polar head group) are reported. All derivatives present antagonist activities against PAF-acether-induced effects in vitro (platelet aggregation) and in vivo (bronchoconstriction and thrombocytopenia in guinea pig and, to a lesser extent, hypotension in rat). The functional modifications presented here do not modify dramatically the potency of antagonist activities, and there is no enantioselectivity. All of the isosteres are specific PAF-acether antagonists, except the 1-carbamoyl analogue, which is also potent against acetylcholine-induced hypotension and bronchoconstriction.

Abstract
Two platelet-activating factor (PAF) analogs containing a methyl group at C2 of the glycerol moiety were synthesized, and some of their biochemical properties were investigated. 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-C,O-dimethyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (2-methyl-2-methoxy PAF) was prepared in a synthetic scheme beginning with the etherification of 2-methylpropen-1-ol. A reaction sequence involving hydroxylation, tritylation, alkylation, and detritylation afforded 1-O-hexadecyl-2-C,O-dimethyl-rac-glycerol, which was converted into the phosphocholine. A 2-lyso derivative of this PAF analog (2-methyl-lyso PAF) was synthesized from 1-O-hexadecyl-2-C-methyl-3-O-trityl-rac-glycerol. Benzylation followed by detritylation gave 1-O-hexadecyl-2-C-methyl-2-O-benzyl-rac-glycerol, which was converted into the phosphocholine compound. Hydrogenolysis afforded 1-O-hexadecyl-2-C-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phospholine (2-methyl-lyso PAF). The 2-methyl-lyso PAF analog served as a substrate for the acetyl-CoA-dependent acetyltransferase that acetylates 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. However, 2-methyl-lyso PAF did not have a significant effect on the activities of a CoA-independent transacylase or of the acetylhydrolase that inactivates PAF, and thus does not appear to be a substrate or an inhibitor, respectively, for these enzymes. In addition, this analog exhibited only one-half of the antitumor activity of rac-1-O-alkyl-2-methoxy-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine in human leukemic (HL-60) cells, and elicited no hypotensive response in rats and no platelet-activating activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1-(1-Hexadecenyl)- and 1-(1-octadecenyl)-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines were synthesized. To this goal, synthetically prepared racemic phosphatidal-cholines were hydrolyzed with phospholipase A2, and lysophosphatidal-cholines obtained were acetylated with acetic anhydride.

Abstract
Racemic analogues of platelet activating factor (PAF) in which the methylene bridge separating the phosphate and trimethylammonium moieties is altered in length (7a-f) have been prepared. Increasing the length of this bridge results in a progressive decrease in the hypotensive and platelet aggregation responses. Analogues in which the phosphocholine group is substituted with a methyl group (7h and 7i) or a phenyl group (5j) or in which the methylene bridge is replaced with a meta-substituted benzyl group (5k) have been prepared. With respect to both the blood pressure and platelet aggregation responses, 7i and 5k showed little if any changes in potency compared to racemic C16-PAF (1a). While 7h is more potent than 1a with respect to both the hypotensive and platelet aggregation properties, 5j is less potent. Replacement of the phosphate moiety of C18-PAF (1b) with a phosphonate group (7g) leads to decreased activity in both assays. Analogue 11, in which the phosphocholine group has been replaced with a 4-(trimethylammonio)butoxy group, exhibited no detectable hypotensive or platelet aggregating activity. None of the analogues exhibited a separation of the blood pressure and platelet aggregation activities.

Abstract
An analogue of platelet activating factor (PAF) in which the phosphate moiety has been replaced with a sulfonylbismethylene group has been prepared. A key step in the synthetic sequence is the preparation of 4-[[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]thio]-1-(hexadecyloxy)-2-butanol via a one-pot reaction involving a sequential Michael addition and reduction. In comparison to racemic C16-PAF, 8 showed no platelet aggregating activity and substantially reduced hypotensive activity.

Abstract
Racemic analogues of platelet activating factor (PAF) that contain a methylene group between the C2 and C3 carbon atoms (39) or between the C1 and C2 carbon atoms (40) have been synthesized. These compounds show reduced platelet aggregation and hypotensive activity as measured against racemic C16 PAF. Compounds in which the C1 carbon atom of PAF is substituted with one or two methyl groups (41 and 42, respectively) or the C3 carbon is substituted with a single methyl group (43) have been synthesized. Platelet aggregation and hypotensive responses produced by these compounds are significantly less than those obtained with racemic C16 PAF. None of the above compounds exhibit a separation of the platelet aggregation and hypotensive activities.

Abstract
Incubation of photomixotrophic cell suspension cultures of rape (Brassica napus) and heterotrophic cell suspension cultures of soya (Glycine max) with 1-O-[1'-14C]hexadecyl-sn-glycerol or rac-1-O-[1'-14C]hexadecylglycerol leads in high yield (up to 78%) to labeled 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines. Alkaline hydrolysis of the choline glycerophospholipids yields pure 1-O-[1'-14C]hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. 1-O-[1'-14C]Hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (platelet activating factor) is obtained by acetylating the lyso compound. The semi-synthetic preparation described leads to labeled platelet activating factor in an overall yield of 50-60% without loss of specific activity.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor, 1 (PAF, 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), and octadecyl-PAF were synthesized chemically as the racemates. The sn-1-O-alkyl isomers were isolated after treatment of the racemates with phospholipase A2 and subsequent reacetylation of the 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines released. Analogues of PAF containing unsaturated alkyl moieties at the sn-1 position (2, 4, 5) were synthesized by utilizing the methoxyethoxymethyl protecting group as a novel method for preparing unsaturated alkyl lipids. This procedure provides a facile means for preparing unsaturated either phospholipids of defined structure that may be tritiated to high radiospecific activity for metabolic studies. Unsaturation in the alkyl chain had minimal effect on the bioactivities examined in this study.

Abstract
A new type of neutral lipid is described that possesses hypotensive activity in genetic hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive (WKY) rats. 1-Alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerols and 1-alkyl-2-propionyl-sn-glycerols are both equally effective in eliciting the hypotensive response. Requirement for the 1-alkyl and 2-acetyl or 2-propionyl structure of the active isomer was documented by the negative responses obtained with closely related neutral lipid analogs (1-alkyl-2-acyl-, 1-alkyl-3-acetyl-, 1-acyl-2-acetyl-, 1-alkyl-2,3-diacetyl-, and 1-alkyl-glycerols). Although less potent than PAF (1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), the 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerols produce a response of significantly longer duration and may have fewer immediate side effects than PAF. The mechanism for the biological activity is unknown; however, we have demonstrated previously that the enzymatic synthesis of 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerols to PAF occurs via a specific cholinephosphotransferase and therefore the observed blood pressure response might be due to the conversion of the neutral lipid precursor to PAF in vivo.

Abstract
1-O-Alkyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines (platelet activating factor, PAF) aggregate human thrombocytes in a concentration dependent fashion. After a short lag-phase, maximum aggregation is reached within 2 min. PAF releases serotonin from human thrombocytes within 1 min. Indomethacin and creatine phosphate (CP)/creatine phosphokinase (CPK) are able to inhibit the second phase of the aggregation by PAF, while xylocain reduces both the first and second phase of aggregation of human thrombocytes. Hirudine neither influences the first nor the second phase of aggregation by PAF.

Abstract
The total synthesis of 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-3-glyceryl-(2-trimethyl ammoniummethyl) phosphonate, the phosphono analogue of 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine, is described. The phosphonolipid shows much lower activity than the phospholipid stimulating serotonin release from rabbit platelets.
