    abstract = "A series of new 2-[3-(2-alkyloxy-ethyl)-adamantan-1-yl]-ethoxy substituted ether phospholipids was synthesized and their antileishmanial activity was evaluated against Leishmania infantum amastigotes. The majority of the new analogues were significantly less cytotoxic than miltefosine while, antiparasitic activity depended on the length of the 2-alkyloxy substituent. The most potent compounds were 2-[[[3-(2-hexyloxy-ethyl)-adamant-1-yl]-ethoxy] hydroxyphosphinyloxy]ethyl-Ν,Ν,Ν-trimethyl-ammonium inner salt (5b) and 2-[[[3-(2-octyloxy-ethyl)-adamant-1-yl]-ethoxy]hydroxyphosphinyloxy]ethyl- Ν,Ν,Ν-trimethyl-ammonium inner salt (5c). © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
