The accumulation of psychosine (galactosyl sphingosine) has been associated with the pathogenesis of Krabbe disease, however, the exact mechanism of its cytotoxicity remains unclear. Herein, we describe the synthesis of the unnatural enantiomer of erythrosphingosine, psychosine, and related derivatives thereof that would allow for the mechanistic elucidation of the toxicity of psychosine.
半乳糖神经酰胺(psychosine)的积累与克拉伯病的发病机制有关,然而,其细胞毒性的确切机制仍不清楚。在此,我们描述了赤藓糖神经酰胺(psychosine)及其相关衍生物的非天然对映体的合成,这将有助于阐明半乳糖神经酰胺(psychosine)的毒性机制。
