FNC-RED
exhibits innate immune receptor Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid
differentiation factor-2 (MD2) stimulatory activity. We have developed
a divergent synthetic route to FNC-RED derivatives containing various
alkyl side chains. Key features of the synthetic study include stepwise
palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and the construction
of an all syn-cyclopentanetetrol moiety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
