[Synthesis of platelet activation factor analogs]

Novel structural analogues of the platelet activating factor (PAF), rac-1-octadecyl-2-allyl-glycerol-3-phosphocholine and rac-1-octadecyl-2-allyl-1-thioglycerol-3-phosphocholine , have been synthesized. The phospholipids obtained showed neither PAF-agonistic nor PAF-antagonistic activity at the concentration of 10(-5) to 10(-7) M.
