Abstract

The review summarizes current information on the biological activity and search of the antineoplastic mechanism of action among alkyl glycerolipids. Special attention is paid to following problems considered in experimental papers published during the last decade: selective ability phosphorus alkyl glycerolipids towards tumor cells using edelfosine and its analogues. The review contains modern information available in the literature, on a possible mechanism cytotoxic effect of such compounds.

(Edelfosine):

1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ET-18-OMe)

(FADD):

Fas-associated death domain protein of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC)

PBL:

peripheral blood leukocytes; (TNF) tumor necrosis factor.
