Sphingolipids are essential components of eukaryotic cell membranes, particularly the plasma membrane, and are involved in a diverse array of signal transduction pathways. Mammals produce sphingomyelin (SM) as the primary complex sphingolipid via the... Read More about Sphingolipid synthesis and scavenging in the intracellular apicomplexan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii.

We recently reported the use of PSCl3 for the thiophosphorylation of alkylamines where the resulting N-thiophosphoramidate ions could be readily S-alkylated (Chem. Commun., 2011, 47, 6156–6158.). Herein we report the development of this methodology u...
