- Antimicrobial effects of 1-monocaprylin and 1-monocaproin through in vitro growth inhibition and molecular docking studies
-
1-monocaproin and 1-monocaprylin synthesized through a novel process by the chemical reaction of glycidol and their respective fatty acids with copper acetate as the catalyst possessed the amphiphilic property. 1- monoacyl glycerols synthesized were found to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, anti parasitic and antiviral properties. 1-monocaproin and 1- monocaprylin were able to show their antibacterial effect by inhibiting the growth of the Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis at concentrations of 100-500 ppm. The Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of both 1-monoacyl glycerols were found to be 0.5 ppm. 1-monocaproin and 1-monocaprylin were able to show their antifungal effect by inhibiting the growth of the filamentous fungi Mucor racemosus and Rhizopus stolonifer at the concentration of 1000 ppm. Based on the molecular interaction and common binding interaction study, 1- monocaproin is expected to exhibit a similar antiviral activity as that of Oseltamivir to H5N1 influenza virus hemagglutinin. 1-monocaprylin and 1- monocaproin synthesized using copper acetate could exhibit a broad spectrum antimicrobial effect in combination with other monoacyl glycerols or with other antimicrobial agents.

- Biobased catalyst in biorefinery processes: Sulphonated hydrothermal carbon for glycerol esterification
-
Sulphonated hydrothermal carbon (SHTC), obtained from d-glucose by mild hydrothermal carbonisation and subsequent sulphonation with sulphuric acid, is able to catalyse the esterification of glycerol with different carboxylic acids, namely, acetic, butyric and caprylic acids. Product selectivity can be tuned by simply controlling the reaction conditions. On the one hand, SHTC provides one of the best selectivity towards monoacetins described up to now without the need for an excess of glycerol. On the other hand, excellent selectivity towards triacylglycerides (TAG) can be obtained, beyond those described with other solid catalysts, including well-known sulphonic resins. Recovery of the catalyst showed partial deactivation of the solid. The formation of sulphonate esters on the surface, confirmed by solid state NMR, was the cause of this behaviour. Acid treatment of the used catalyst, with subsequent hydrolysis of the surface sulphonate esters, allows SHTC to recover its activity. The higher selectivity towards mono- and triesters and its renewable origin makes SHTC an attractive catalyst in biorefinery processes.

- 1-O-Alkyl (di)glycerol ethers synthesis from methyl esters and triglycerides by two pathways: Catalytic reductive alkylation and transesterification/reduction
-
From available and bio-sourced methyl esters, monoglycerides or oleic sunflower refined oil, the corresponding 1-O-alkyl (di)glycerol ethers were obtained in both high yields and selectivity by two different pathways. With methyl esters, a reductive alkylation with (di)glycerol was realized under 50 bar hydrogen pressure in the presence of 1 mol% of Pd/C and an acid co-catalyst. A second two step procedure was evaluated from methyl esters or triolein and consisted of a first transesterification to the corresponding monoglyceride with a BaO/Al2O3 catalyst, then its reduction to the desired glycerol monoether with a recyclable heterogeneous catalytic system Pd/C and Amberlyst 35 under H2 pressure. In addition, a mechanism for the reaction was also proposed.

- Composition of the cloacal gland secretion of tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus
-
The lipophilic content of the cloacal gland secretion of the tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) was investigated. GC/EI-MS Analysis of CH2Cl2 extracts of the secretions revealed triacylglycerols as major glandular constituents. Twelve major medium-chain fatty acids were found to be conjugated to glycerol in different combinations, resulting in complex mixtures. These acids were identified by transesterification and subsequent derivatization of natural samples, and their structures were verified by synthesis. The natural glycerides contain predominantly three of the following acids: octanoic (A), (E)- and (Z)-oct-4-enoic (B and C, resp.), (4E,6Z)-octa-4,6-dienoic (tuataric acid;D), (R)-2,6-dimethylheptanoic (E), (R)-2,6-dimethylhept-5-enoic (F), (Z)-dec-4-enoic (G), (4Z,7Z)-deca-4,7-dienoic (H), (R)-3,7-dimethyloct-6-enoic (I), (R)-4,8-dimethylnon-7-enoic (J), (2R,6S)-2,6,10-trimethylundec-9-enoic (K), and (2R,5E)-2,6,10-trimethylundeca-5,9-dienoic acids (L). Several additional acids, occurring in trace amounts only, were tentatively identified by MS. The elucidation of the absolute configuration of the acids was performed by GC on chiral phases. Individual tuatara show specific mixtures of glycerides with up to 100 components. The individual mixtures may permit individual recognition because the bouquets seem to be stable over years.

- Lipase-mediated desymmetrization of glycerol with aromatic and aliphatic anhydrides
-
Chirazyme L-2 (Candida antarctica) catalyzed esterification of glycerol with aromatic and aliphatic anhydrides in 1,4-dioxane is described. All the aromatic monoacylglycerols (MAGs) were produced as (R)-enantiomers, while aliphatic MAGs were obtained either as racemic mixtures or the (S)-enantiomers. The influence of substituted aromatic rings, chain length, and presence of a conjugated double bond in the acyl donor moiety on the enantiotopic selectivity as well as the efficiency of the enzyme was studied.

- Enzymatic synthesis of symmetrical 1,3-diacylglycerols by direct esterification of glycerol in solvent-free system
-
1,3-Diacylglycerols were synthesized by direct esterification of glycerol with free fatty acids in a solvent-free system. Free fatty acids with relatively low melting points (45°C) such as unsaturated and medium-chain saturated fatty acids were used. With stoichiometric ratios of the reactants and water removal by evaporation at 3 mm Hg vacuum applied at 1 h and thereafter, the maximal 1,3-diacylglycerol content in the reaction mixture was: 84.6% for 1,3-dicaprylin, 84.4% for 1,3-dicaprin, 74.3% for 1,3-dilinolein, 71.7% for 1,3-dieicosapentaenoin, 67.4% for 1,3-dilaurin, and 61.1% for 1,3-diolein. Some of the system's parameters (temperature, water removal, and molar ratio of the reactants) were optimized for the production of 1,3-dicaprylin, and the maximal yield reached 98%. The product was used for the chemical synthesis of 1,3-dicapryloyl-2-eicosapentaenoylglycerol. The yield after purification was 42%, and the purity of the triacylglycerol was 98% (both 1,3-dicapryloyl-2-eicosapentaenoylglycerol and 1,2-dicapryloyl-3-eicosapentaenoylglycerol included) by gas chromatographic analysis, of which 90% was the desired structured triacylglycerol (1,3-dicapryloyl-2-eicosapentaenoylglycerol) as determined by silver ion high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis.

- Study of the effect of DATEM. 1. Influence of fatty acid chain length on rheology and baking
-
To answer the question of which fatty acid residue is the most effective, diacetyltartaric esters of monoglycerides (DATEMs) with fatty acids of chain lengths 6:0-20:0 were synthesized. The activity of synthesized DATEMs and commercial DATEM products was studied by means of rheological methods and a microscale baking test with 10 g of flour. Variation of the acyl residue from 6:0 to 22:0 showed that stearic acid (18:0) had the best effect on the baking activity of DATEM (loaf volume increased by 62%). DATEMs containing unsaturated fatty acids (18:1, 18:2) or DATEMs produced from diacylglycerols instead of monoacylglycerols showed a slight increase of the loaf volumes. A slight effect of DATEM on the rheology of dough was observed. However, much greater was the effect on the gluten isolated from doughs prepared with DATEM. The resistance of gluten to extension was increased after the addition of increasing amounts of DATEM (0.1-0.5%). Within the series of DATEMs derived from the homologous series of monoacylglycerols the product based on glycerol monostearate (18:0) showed a maximum increase of the gluten resistance.

- Kinetics of acyl migration in monoglycerides and dependence on acyl chainlength
-
The chemical rearrangement reaction of β- into α-monoglycerides is described. Four monoglycerides with different fatty acid chainlength have been investigated, and the equilibrium constant and the reaction velocity constants characterizing the reaction of the chemical rearrangement were estimated with a mathematical model. A 1:6.5 mixture of α/β-monoglycerides appeared to rearrange to a mixture of 1:1 α/β-monoglycerides within 24 h. Furthermore, the reaction velocity of the rearrangement reaction of β- to α-monoglycerides depended on the fatty acyl chainlength in the monoglyceride.

- Iodoaryl analogues of dioctanoylglycerol and 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol as probes for protein kinase C
-
Analogues of dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) and 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) containing an iodoaryl group have been synthesized and shown to compete with [3H]phorbol dibutyrate ([3H]PDBu) for binding to protein kinase C in a crude rat brain preparation. Phorbol diesters have been shown to bind specifically to protein kinase C and the PDBu receptor has been copurified with protein kinase C activity. All three diacylglycerol analogues were comparable to OAG in binding affinity. In an assay of protein kinase C activation, the diC8 analogue was more active than the OAG analogues, thus demonstrating greater structural specificity under the conditions of this assay.
