Chiral PAF agonists: synthesis, theoretical analysis of their stereoelectronic properties and structure activity relationships.
A series of chiral PAF agonists were synthesized. Modifications at the PAF structure were undertaken as far as the C2 substituents and the onium head groups are concerned. In parallel, molecular modelling studies including a MOPAC geometry optimization and the analysis of the electrostatic potential were performed on the newly synthesized and on already known PAF agonists, in order to gain a better insight into the stereoelectronic features required for interaction with the PAF receptor.
