Synthesis of Novel Arsonolipids and Development of Novel Arsonoliposome Types.

ABSTRACT: Arsonolipids represent a class of arsenic-containing compounds with interesting biological properties either as monomers or as nanostructure forming components, such as arsonoliposomes that possess selective anticancer activity as proven by in vitro and in vivo studies. In this work, we describe, for the first time, the synthesis of novel arsono-containing lipids where the alkyl groups are connected through stable ether bonds. It is expected that this class of arsonolipids, compared with the corresponding ester linked, will have higher chemical stability. To accomplish this task, a new methodology of general application was developed, where a small arsono compound, 2-hydroxyethylarsonic acid, when protected with thiophenol, can be used in an efficient and simple way as a building block for
