The syntheses and in vitro antitumor properties of carbamate-containing, dicarbamate-containing, and ureido-containing phospholipid compounds that have an ether linkage at the C-1 position of a glycerol backbone, a carbamate, dicarbamate, or ureido moiety at the C-2 position of the glycerol backbone, and a phosphocholine, phosphonocholine, or glycoside moiety at the C-3 position of the glycerol backbone are described. The synthesis and antiproliferative activity of ether lipids with a naphthol moiety at the C-1 position are also described. These compounds were shown to be potent inhibitors of cancer cell growth. These compounds are useful for killing cancer cells and treating cancer.

Synthesis of glycerolipid carbamates and dicarbamates and their use as an antitumor compounds

Unsaturated alkyllysophosphonocholines compounds of formula (I) or (II): or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, prodrugs or isomers thereof. The compounds of the invention have anti-neoplastic activity, and accordingly have utility in treating cancer and related diseases. The invention also provides enantiomers of these compounds, as well as synthetic methods for producing an enantiomer, substantially free of the other enantiomer. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions, as well methods for treating cancer with the pharmaceutical compositions.
