Positional specificity and stereoselectivity of a lipase preparation from oat seeds acting on 1,2,3-trihexanoylglycerol
Ota, Yasuhide,Minesaki, Toshio,Oshima, Aki
, p. 166 - 167 (1997)
Oat seed lipase was extracted with 0.01 M calcium chloride solution containing 0.5% Triton X-100 and precipitated with ammonium sulfate. The precipitate was dissolved in phosphate buffer at pH 6.0 and the supernatant was used as the lipase preparation. The lipase was very selective in the ester positions of 1,2-trihexanoylglycerol, hydrolyzing sn-3 most quickly, sn-1 moderately, and sn-2 hardly at all.

The synthesis of the complete family of phosphatidylinositol phosphate analogues (PIPs) from five key core intermediates A-E is described. These core compounds were obtained from myo-inositol orthoformate 1 via regioselective DIBAL-H and trimethylaluminium-mediated cleavages and a resolution-protection process using camphor acetals 10. Coupling of cores A-E with phosphoramidites 34 and 38, derived from the requisite protected lipid side chains, afforded the fully-protected PIPs. Removal of the remaining protecting groups was achieved via hydrogenolysis using palladium black or palladium hydroxide on carbon in the presence of sodium bicarbonate to afford the complete family of dipalmitoyl- and amino-PIP analogues 42, 45, 50, 51, 58, 59, 67, 68, 76, 77, 82, 83, 92, 93, 99 and 100. Investigations using affinity probes incorporating these compounds have identified novel proteins involved in the PI3K intracellular signalling network and have allowed a comprehensive proteomic analysis of phosphoinositide interacting proteins.

Cosmetic composition containing DOPA derivatives

, (2008/06/13)
A composition for topical application to human hair or skin contains a chemical analogue of dihydroxyphenyl alanine (DOPA). This chemical analogue can be absorbed by skin or by a hair follicle and metabolised in-vivo, thus leading to the formation of melanin in skin or to the growth of melanin-pigmented hair. Consequently the composition can give controlled skin darkening to mimic sun-induced tanning or can bring about the growth of dar hair in place of the grey or white hair.
General Method for the Synthesis of Phospholipid Derivatives of 1,2-O-Diacyl-sn-glycerols

An efficient phosphite coupling protocol is described for the syntheses of the major classes of phospholipids that are derived from 1,2-O-diacyl-sn-glycerols and analogues thereof.The symmetrical diacyl glycerols 10c,d were prepared by straightforward acylation of 3-O-benzyl-sn-glycerol (7) with the appropriate carboxylic acid in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP).A simple method for preparing saturated and unstaturated mixed 1,2-O-diacyl-sn-glycerols was then devised that involved stepwise acylation of 7 with different alkyl carboxylic acids and debenzylation; this procedure is exemplified by the preparation of 10a,b.The 1,2-O-diacyl-sn-glycerols 10a-d were then coupled with suitably protected lipid head groups employing reactive alkyl or aryl dichlorophosphites to give intermediate phosphite triesters in high overall yields.Oxidation or sulfurization of these phosphites proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding phosphate or phosphorothioate triesters, deprotection of which then provided the phosphatidylcholines 16 and 17, the phosphatidylethanolamine 20, the phosphatidylserine 28, and the phosphatidylinositols 37 and 38.Preparation of 37 and 38 required the invention of an improved method for resolving the isopropylidene-protected D-myo-inositol derivative 33.This phosphite coupling procedure was modified to assemble phospholipids bearing polyunsaturated acyl side chains at the sn-2-position as exemplified by the preparation of the phosphatidylethanolamine 26.The one-pot phosphite coupling procedure is also applicable to the syntheses of a variety of other biologically interesting phospholipid analogues.For example, the phosphatidylinositol analogues 49-51, in which the hydroxyl group at C(2) of the inositol ring has been modified, were prepared in excellent overall yields by conjoining the 1,2-O-diacyl-sn-glycerol 10c with the protected inositol derivatives 44, 45, and 48.Phospholipid analogues that contain other replacements of the phosphate group including phosphoramidates and thiophosphates may be prepared as evidenced by the syntheses of 56 and 61 in which the sn-3 oxygen atom of the 1,2-O-diacyl-sn-glycerol moiety is replaced with an N-benzyl group or a sulfur atom, respectively.
Substrate specificity in short-chain phospholipid analogs at the active site of human synovial phospholipase A2

The substrate specificity at the active site of recombinant human synovial fluid phospholipase A2 (hs-PLA2) was investigated by the preparation of a series of short-chain phospholipid analogs and measurement of their enzymatic hydrolysis at concentrations well below the critical micelle concentration. Substrates used in the study included 1,2-dihexanoylglycerophospholipids, 1,2-bis(alkanoylthio)glycerophospholipids, and 1-O-alkyl-2- (alkanoylthio)phospholipids. Turnover was observed for only a few of the 1,2- dihexanoylglycerophospholipids, and the rate of hydrolysis was very low, near the limit of detection of the assay. In contrast, selected 2-(alkanoylthio)- glycerophospholipids were hydrolyzed by hs-PLA2 at much higher rates at concentrations well below their critical micelle concentration (cmc). Thus, the 1,2-bis(hexanoylthio)glycerophosphatidylmethanol exhibits a k(cat)/K(M) = 1800 L mol-1 s-1. Over the calculated log P (cLogP) range of 3-9, cLogP and log(k(cat)/K(M)) were linearly related for compounds with straight-chain sn-1 and sn-2 substituents. At comparable cLogP's, the sn-1 ethers and thioesters were hydrolyzed at comparable rates. A negative charge in the phosphate head group was required for enzyme activity. Unsaturation, aromaticity, and branching in the sn-2 substituent reduce turnover dramatically. The same structural modifications in the sn-1 substituent have less effect on turnover. Certain of these substrates, e.g., 1,2- bis(hexanoylthio)glycerophosphatidylmethanol, may be useful in assaying for active site inhibitors of PLA2. The structure-activity relationships established here for substrates should serve as a reference for the structure-activity relationships of substrate-based inhibitors.
