摘要
The synthesis of two cell-permeable analogues related to a GPI intermediate is described for studies with living trypano-somes and human (HeLa) cells. One of the analogues is metabolised by the former GPI pathway and is toxic to the parasite Try-panosoma brucei but not to human cells. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
