Abstract

Enantiomers or diastereomers of chiral bioactive compounds often exhibit different biological and toxicological properties. Here, we report the efficient synthesis of four stereoisomers of sphingosine and derivatization of unique chiral ceramides through a combinatorial chemistry by solid-phase activated resin ester. In addition, to test the effectivity of stereochemistry of ceramide, we demonstrated a cell-based assay of sphingomyelin synthase inhibition in the presence ofchiral unique ceramides, which suggested that libraries of this sort will be a rich source of biologically active synthetic molecules.
