ALPHA-GALACTOCERAMIDE ANALOGS, THEIR METHODS OF MANUFACTURE, INTERMEDIATE COMPOUNDS USEFUL IN THESE METHODS, AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM

摘要

The invention relates to a -galactoceramide analogs, their methods of manufacture, intermediate compounds useful in these methods. It also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing the a-galactoceramide analogs. The methods of manufacture of the invention involve the use of unsaturated intermediate compounds which enable to synthesize a-galactoceramide analogs by a mere metathesis reaction. The a -galactoceramide analogs of the invention are useful as active ingredients of pharmaceutical compositions, particularly in pharmaceutical compositions having anti-cancerous properties.
