title: Glucosamine-glycerophospholipids that activate cell-matrix adhesion and migration.
abstract: Two new analogues derived from the platelet activating factor (PAF), containing glucosamine instead of the acetyl group, were synthesized, and their effect on the human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT was evaluated with respect to cytotoxicity, proliferation, adhesion, and migration. Starting with (R)-1,2-isopropylideneglycerol (3), the glycosylation acceptor 1-O-octadecyl-3-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-sn-glycerol (6) was synthesized in three steps. Glycosylation of 6 with the already known O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-dimethylmaleimido-beta-D-glycopyranosyl)trichloracetimidate gave 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-(3',4',6'-tri-O-acetyl-2'-deoxy-2'-dimethylmaleimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-sn-glycerol (7). After removing the (tert-butyldimethyl)silyl (TBDMS) group with FeCl3x6H2O, phosphoryl choline was introduced, yielding [1-O-octadecyl-2-O-(2'-deoxy-2'-dimethylmaleimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycero(3)]phosphorylcholine (2) (glucosimide-PAF). pH controlled cleavage of the amino protection group gave [1-O-octadecyl-2-O-(2'-deoxy-2'-amino-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycero(3)]phosphorylcholine hydrochloride (1) (glucosamine-PAF). 2 inhibited proliferation of HaCaT cells by 26% at nontoxic concentrations, while 1 increased the proliferation rate by 30% at low concentrations. At higher concentrations, both compounds showed cytotoxic properties with LD50 = 30 micromol/L (1) and LD50 = 5-6 micromol/L (2). Both 1 and 2 were potent promoters of cell adhesion and migration of HaCaT cells.
