Platelet-activating factor, 1 (PAF, l-0-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), and
octadecyl-PAF were synthesized chemically as the racemates. The sn-lO-alkyl isomers were …

We report the synthesis of the natural isomer of [3H]‐lyso platelet activating factor,[3H]‐lyso
PAF (1‐0‐[9′, 10′‐3H2]‐hexadecyl‐2‐lyso‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine) and its …

Platelet-activating factor (PAF), primarily 1-O-hexa-decyl-and l-0-octadecyl-2-0-acetyl-sn-
gIycero-3-phosphocholine, is a potent endogenous lipid mediator found in a variety of cells …

“Platelet activating factor”(PAF) was coined in 1972 by Benveniste and collaborators' as the
name of a substance that was released from basophils after IgE stimulation. Various stimuli …

Both enantiomers of various ether/ester glycerophosphocholines (R)-and (S)-l, including
platelet activating factor (PAF, 2), have been synthesized from arenesulfonate derivatives of …

Two platelet-activating factor (PAF) analogs containing a methyl group at C2 of the glycerol
moiety were synthesized, and some of their biochemical properties were investigated. 1-O …

A novel, facile, and sensitive method for the quantitative and complete structure-proof
analysis of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and other glycerophospholipids is described. 1-O …

A new method of synthesis of octadecyl platelet-activating factor (PAF; 1-O-octadecyl 2-O-
acetyl sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) is described. Its advantage is to proceed by way of …
