Abstract:
The synthesis of optically pure long-chain 2-amino-alcohols and 1-O-dodecyl-2-deoxy-2-amino-sn-glycerol was carried out starting from l- or d-Boc-Ser(OBn)-ol by oxidation and consecutive Wittig reaction or etherification reaction. 2-Amino-oleyl alcohol was synthesized by reduction of the corresponding 2-amino-oleic acid. All the long chain amino-alcohols presented interesting inhibition of carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats (ED50 from 0.017 to 0.010 mmol/kg). The synthesis, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of long-chain 2-amino-alcohols is reported.
