The phospholipids, ALP and Thio-ALP, are non-hydrolyzable analogues of platelet activating factor (PAF). Interest i n ALP and thio-ALP centers upon their activity as potential antineoplastic agents. A variety of mechanisms of action have been attributed to these compounds including inhibiti$q of a

β¦ Synopsis
Racemic l-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-l-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-I position O f the glycerol backbone is suggested.
