The total synthesis of 4,5-cis unsaturated α-GalCer analogues was achieved, and their immune-response altering activity was assessed in vitro as well as in vivo in mice. Using glycosyl iodide as a glycosyl donor, construction of the sphingosine unit was shortened by four steps and single α-stereoselectivity was achieved in good yield (67%). With regard to the therapeutic use of α-GalCer, the novel analogues (1b and 1c) distinctly induced a Th1-biased cytokine response, avoiding induction of a contradictory response and overstimulation.

New D-erythro-1-deoxydihydroceramide-1-sulfonic acid, isolated from alkali-stable lipids in a non-photosynthetic marine diatom Nitzschia alba, was synthesized from galactose as a chiral precursor using the Hanessian-Hullar reaction as the key step in the
