Title: Fluoro analogs of bioactive oxy-sterols: Synthesis of an EBI2 agonist with enhanced metabolic stability.

Authors: Deng X,Sun S,Wu J,Kuei C,Joseph V,Liu C,Mani NS

Abstract: Synthesis of several 7-hydroxy oxysterols and their potential roles as signaling molecules in the innate and adaptive immune responses is discussed. Discovery of a new, fluorinated, synthetic analog of the 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol-the endogenous ligand of GPR 183 (EBI2), a G-protein coupled receptor highly expressed upon Epstein-Barr virus infection is described. Fluoro oxysterol 12 showed good metabolic stability while maintaining excellent EBI2 agonist activity.
