title: Synthesis and mitogenic activity of chiral lipopeptide WS1279 and its derivatives.
abstract: Optically active lipopeptide derivatives have been synthesized by the use of chiral glycerol derivatives. Lipopeptide WS1279 derivatives with (R)-glycerol moieties showed a higher mitogenic activity than those with the (S)-configuration. Various N-protected lipopeptide and N-deprotected derivatives showed increased mitogenic activity.
