[structure: see text] A family of cyclic 1-deoxysphingolipid derivatives of structure 4 has been designed and synthesized, which may serve as tumorigenesis suppressors for various cancers. Compound 4 is a second-generation analogue developed from sphingosine (1), in which a hydroxyl substituent is moved from C1 to C5 and a methylene is added for conformational rigidity between the C2-nitrogen substituent and C4. The synthetic chemistry for pyrrolidine ring closure at C3-C4 features ring-closing ...[more]
