We identified two aliphatic formates, (Z,Z)-8,11-heptadecadienyl formate and (Z)-8-heptad ecenyl formate in the opisthonotal gland secretions of an unidentified acarid species, namely Sancassania sp. Sasagawa. Both compounds were isolated using silica gel column chromatography and the structures were elucidated by 1H-NMR and GC/FT-IR. Further information on the double bond positions was obtained by GC-MS analysis of the corresponding dimethyl disulfide derivatives. Based on the estimated structures of the two formates and using linoleic and oleic acids as the respective starting materials, a simple four-step synthesis was achieved via Barton decarboxylation as the key step. The aliphatic formates identified in acarids thus far are neryl formate ((Z)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienyl formate) and lardolure (1,3,5,7-tetramethyldecyl formate), and both have been reported to have pheromone functions. The biological function of the two formates isolated in this study is currently being investigated. Although we can speculate that the two compounds were biosynthesized from linoleic and oleic acid, there is a possibility that the synthetic processes featured a novel chain shortening and formic acid esterification mechanism.

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a serine hydrolase that has a key regulatory role in controlling the levels of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), the main signaling molecule in the endocannabinoid system. Identification of selective modulators of MAGL enables both to provide new tools for investigating pathophysiological roles of 2-AG, and to discover new lead compounds for drug design. The development of sensitive and reliable methods is crucial to evaluate this modulatory activity. In the current study, we report readily synthesized long-wavelength putative fluorogenic substrates with different acylic side chains to find a new probe for MAGL activity. 7-Hydroxyresorufinyl octanoate proved to be the best substrate thanks to the highest rate of hydrolysis and the best Km and Vmax values. In addition, in silico evaluation of substrates interaction with the active site of MAGL confirms octanoate resorufine derivative as the molecule of choice. The well-known MAGL inhibitors URB602 and methyl arachidonylfluorophosphonate (MAFP) were used for the assay validation. The assay was highly reproducible with an overall average Z0 value of 0.86. The fast, sensitive and accurate method described in this study is suitable for low-cost high-throughput screening (HTS) of MAGL modulators and is a powerful new tool for studying MAGL activity.

Designing of multifunctional soft and smart materials from natural sources is a useful strategy for producing safer chemicals having potential applications in biomedical research and pharmaceutical industries. Herein, eight glycolipids with variation in unsaturation of hydrophobic tail and polar headgroup size were designed. The effect of unsaturation in the tail group and headgroup size on gelation ability, and mechanical and thermal stability of glycolipid hydro/organogels was studied to understand structure and property relationship. Glycolipids are functional amphiphilic molecules having potential applications in the field of drug delivery and metal removal. The encapsulation capacity and kinetic release behavior of hydrophobic/hydrophilic bioactives like curcumin/riboflavin from the hydrophobic/hydrophilic pockets of glycolipids hydro/organogels was examined. A significant observation was that the glucamine moiety of the glycolipid headgroup plays a vital role in removal of Cr and Cu from oil/water biphasic systems. Typical functions of the glycolipid hydrogels are metal chelation and enzyme-triggered release behavior, enabled them as promising material for Cr, Cu removal from edible oils and controlled release of water soluble/insoluble bioactives.

Tumour targeting approaches used in cancer chemotherapy offers prolonged, localized, and protected drug interaction with the diseased tissue with minimal side effects and systemic toxicity, which are accountable for the failure of chemotherapy using conventional delivery systems. The purpose of the present study is to develop an anticancer targeted drug delivery system using synthesized lipoproteins with the integration of quality by design approach. Lipoprotein structures were designed, and quality by design approach was implemented to select variables for optimization. Further, the lipoproteins were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical properties. Physical composites of synthesized lipoproteins with the drug (tablets) were prepared and evaluated for post-compression parameters. Moreover, drug-lipoprotein chemical conjugates were synthesized and characterized for physicochemical properties, including cellular drug uptake and cytotoxicity study on HaCaT cancer cells. Synthesized lipoproteins showed good swelling capacity but poor flowability. Nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy of conjugates showed characteristic peaks. Tablets from all batches extended the drug release up to 12 h. All synthesized conjugates showed improved cellular drug uptake (up to 86.1%) and inhibition (87.39%) of HaCat cancer cells. These findings explored the possible use of synthesized lipoproteins in the development of anti-cancer drug formulation against HaCat cancer cells. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
Nonionic diethanolamide amphiphiles with unsaturated C18 hydrocarbon chains: Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystalline phase behavior

The neat and lyotropic liquid crystalline phase behavior of three nonionic diethanolamide amphiphiles with C18 hydrocarbon chains containing one, two or three unsaturated bonds has been examined. This has allowed the effect of degree of unsaturation on the phase behavior of diethanolamide amphiphiles to be investigated. Neat linoleoyl and linolenoyl diethanolamide undergo a transition from a glassy liquid crystal to a liquid crystal at ～-85 °C, while neat oleoyl diethanolamide undergoes a transition at ～-60 °C to a liquid crystalline material before re-crystallizing at -34 °C. Oleoyl diethanolamide then undergoes a third transition from a crystalline phase to a smectic liquid crystalline phase at ～5 °C. In the absence of water, the transition temperature from a smectic liquid crystal to an isotropic liquid decreases with increasing unsaturation. The addition of water results in the formation of a lamellar phase (Lα) for all three amphiphiles. The lamellar phase is stable under excess water conditions up to temperatures of at least 70 °C. Approximate partial binary amphiphile-water phase diagrams generated for the three unsaturated C18 amphiphiles indicate that the excess water point for each amphiphile occurs at ～60% (w/w) amphiphile. the Owner Societies 2011.

The unusual hypolipidemic activity of the methanolic fractionate of the essential oil (EOM) obtained from the mountain celery seed was previously reported. The most enriched 9(Z)-octadecenamide (oleamide) was speculated to be responsible for the relevant bioactivity. Chemically syntheized oleamide (CSO) yielded 85.1% with a purity of 98.6% when identified by RP-HPLC, FTIR, HREIMS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. CSO was tested for its antioxidative and hypolipidemic bioactivities. Results indicated CSO was potently hypolipidemic with regard to serum TG, TC, LDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and hepatic TG (p 0.05), but not for serum HDL-C and hepatic TC. In addition, CSO exhibited only poor antioxidative activity, implicating the possibility that the hypolipidemic and antioxidative bioactivity of original EOM was due to another coexisting constituent, probably y-selinene. Conclusively, oleamide is a potent hypolipidemic agent as regarding its effects on decreasing serum TG, TC, LDL-C and hepatic TG.

A series of oleamide derivatives, (C18H34NO) 2(CH2)n [n = 2 (1a), 3 (1b), 4 (1c), or 6 (1d); C18H34NO = oleic amide fragment] and (C 18H34NO)(CH2)6NH2 (2), have been synthesized and their self-assembly is investigated in ethanol/water media. Self-assembly of 1a and 1b in ethanol/water (1/0.1 v/v) solution (5 mg mL-1) yields microspheres (MSs) with the average diameter ～10 μm via a gradual temperature reduction and solvent volatilization process. Under the same self-assembly conditions, microrods (average diameter ～6 μm and several tens of micrometers in length), micronecklace-like, and shape-irregular microparticles are formed from the self-assembly of 1c, 1d, and 2, respectively. The kinetics of evolution for their self-assemblies by dynamic light scattering technique and in situ observation by optical microscopy reveals that the microstructures formation is from a well-behaved aggregation of nanoscale micelles induced by solvent volatilization. The FT-IR and temperature-dependent 1H-NMR spectra demonstrate the hydrogen bonding force and π-π stacking, which drove the self-assembly of all oleamide derivatives in ethanol/water. Among the fabricated microstructures, the MSs from 1a exhibit the best dispersity, which thus have been used as a scaffold for the in vitro release of doxorubicin. The results demonstrate a pH-sensitive release process, enhanced release specifically at low pH 5.2.

Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases regulate various cellular functions, including cell growth, differentiation, metabolism, and apoptosis. Modulation of isoform-selective activity of PKC by curcumin (1), the active constituent of Curcuma L., is poorly understood, and the literature data are inconsistent and obscure. The effect of curcumin (1) and its analogues, 4-[(2Z,6E)-3-hydroxy-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-oxohepta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2-methoxyphenyl oleate (2), (9Z,12Z)-4-[(2Z,6E)-3-hydroxy-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-oxohepta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2-methoxyphenyl octadeca-9,12-dienoate (3), (9Z,12Z,15Z)-4-[(2Z,6E)-3-hydroxy-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5-oxohepta-2,6-dien-1-yl]-2-methoxyphenyl octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate (4), and (1E,6E)-1-[4-(hexadecyloxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,6-diene-3,5-dione (5), and didemethylcurcumin (6) on the membrane translocation of PKCα, a conventional PKC, and PKC, a novel PKC, has been studied in CHO-K1 cells, in which these PKC isoforms are endogenously expressed. Translocation of PKC from the cytosol to the membrane was measured using immunoblotting and confocal microscopy. 1 and 6 inhibited the TPA-induced membrane translocation of PKCα but not of PKC. Modification of the hydroxyl group of curcumin with a long aliphatic chain containing unsaturated double bonds in 2-4 completely abolished this inhibition property. Instead, 2-4 showed significant translocation of PKCα but not of PKC to the membrane. No membrane translocation was observed with 1, 6, or the analogue 5 having a saturated long chain for either PKCα or PKC. 1 and 6 inhibited TPA-induced activation of ERK1/2, and 2-4 activated it. ERK1/2 is the downstream readout of PKC. These results show that the hydroxyl group of curcumin is important for PKC activity and the curcumin template can be useful in developing isoform specific PKC modulators for regulating a particular disease state.

Macrocyclic musk belongs to a well-known and valued class of the fragrance family. Originally, natural musks were obtained from rectal musk glands which often led to the death of the animals. Recently, a lot of effort was invested to obtain such macrocycles in a synthetic way. This research presents a study on the preparation of macrocyclic lactones with the musk scent by ring-closing metathesis (RCM) using biomass-derived starting materials: oleic and 9-decenoic acid. An experimental rule correlating the C–C double bond substitution pattern in the starting diene and the yield for the RCM macrocyclization was proposed.

This study investigated the potential of a novel carboxylic acid-terminated generation 1 oleodendrimer (E1A) as a novel biocompatible capping agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (E1A@Ag). Synthesized E1A@Ag particles were spherical with an average size of 9 ± 3 nm and displayed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. The current study, therefore, establishes E1A as an effective biocompatible material for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles.

A decarboxylative borylation of aliphatic acids for the synthesis of a variety of alkylboronates has been developed by mixing m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA)-activated fatty acids with bis(catecholato)diboron in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature. A radical chain process is involved in the reaction which initiates from the B-B bond homolysis followed by the radical transfer from the boron atom to the carbon atom with subsequent decarboxylation and borylation.
