Edelfosine ((R)-ET-18-OCH3) 是一种醚脂质类似物，具有抗 HIV 和抗肿瘤活性。
2-O-methyl-PAF C-18 is a synthetic PAF analog which contains a methyl group, attached by an ether linkage, at the sn-2 position. It has been shown to mediate a number of biological responses including decreasing plasma membrane fluidity and inhibiting tumor cell invasiveness in embryonic chick heart.[1] In rat astrocytes, 2-O-methyl PAF C-18 causes the release of large quantities of nitric oxide by a pathway involving activation of nitric oxide synthase.[2]
