A spacer-equipped tetrasaccharide, p-aminocyclohexylethyl alpha-l-Colp-(1-->2)-beta-d-Galp-(1-->3)-[alpha-l-Colp-(1-->4)]-beta-D-GlcpNAc, containing a 4,6-cyclic phosphate in the galactose residue, has been synthesised. The structure corresponds to a part of the repeating unit of the capsular (and lipo-) polysaccharide of the endemic bacteria Vibrio cholerae type O139

Reaction of 8-bromo-2',3'-O-isopropylidene-5'-O-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl) adenosine (Ib) with lithium 2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy) ethoxide, followed by removal of the tetrahydropyran-2-yl groups, afforded 8-(2''-hydroxyethoxy)-2',3'-O-isopropylideneadenosine (II). Successive treatment of II with n-butyllithium and with methyl dichlorophosphate provided the 5',2''-(methyl phosphate) derivative (IIIa and IIIb).

An enzymatically activated liposome-based drug-delivery concept involving masked antitumor ether lipids (AELs) has been investigated. This concept takes advantage of the cytotoxic properties of AEL drugs as well as the membrane permeability enhancing properties of these molecules, which can lead
