Conjugated polyelectrolyte based real-time fluorescence assay for phospholipase C

A fluorescence turnoff assay for phospholipase C (PLC) from Clostridium perfringens is developed based on the reversible interaction between the natural substrate, phosphatidylcholine, and a fluorescent, water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE). The fluorescence intensity of the CPE in water is increased substantially by the addition of the phospholipid due to the formation of a CPE-lipid complex. Incubation of the CPE-lipid complex with the enzyme PLC causes the fluorescence intensity to decrease (turnoff sensor); the response arises due to PLC-catalyzed hydrolysis of the phosphatidylcholine, which effectively disrupts the CPE-lipid complex. The PLC assay operates with phospholipid substrate concentrations in the micromolar range, and the analytical detection limit for PLC is 2+ and inhibition by EDTA and fluoride ion are demonstrated using the optimized sensor.

In this work, the esterification of glycerol with capric acid catalyzed by an immobilized form of a 1,3-positionally selective lipase (Rhizomucor miehei) showed to be effective for the synthesis of 1,3-dicaprin in n-heptane as the reaction medium. The effects of the reaction parameters were studied using an experimental factorial design of three factors and three levels with two central points. The selected experimental variables were amount of glycerol adsorbed on silica gel (G), biocatalyst load (E) and reaction temperature (T), and the response variables were total conversion of capric acid, acylglycerol fractions, selectivity and yield of dicaprin, and acyl migration reaction. The range of each parameter was selected as follows: G = 50-250 mg, E = 20-40 mg and T = 40-60 C. At optimum conditions 73% capric acid conversion was achieved, with 76% dicaprin selectivity, and selectivity to the specific 1,3-dicaprin of 70% of total products. An adequate selection of the reaction conditions is necessary not only to maximize the conversion of capric acid, but also to minimize the acyl migration reaction and the generation of undesired products. Evidence of kinetically controlled enzymatic acyl migration from sn-3/sn-1 to sn-2 is presented.

A phosphoramidite approach using 2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropylchlorophosphoramidite was utilized for the first time to synthesize short chain cardiolipins. The approach was extended to synthesize long chain and their ether analogue. Optically active 1,2-di
New synthesis of sn-1,2- and sn-2,3-O-diacylglycerols application to the synthesis of enantiopure phosphonates analogous to triglycerides: A new class of inhibitors of lipases

Phosphonate compounds mimic the first transition state occurring during enzymatic carboxyester hydrolysis of natural substrates by forming a covalent bond with the catalytic serine. However, until now the organophosphorus compounds used in the inhibition studies more or less resembled a natural triglyceride substrate. In order to elucidate the interfacial activation and the mechanism of action of lipases, specific inhibitors need to be prepared. To achieve this goal, enantiomerically pure sn-1,2- and sn-2,3O- didecanoylglycerol compounds were prepared - starting from a C-4 chiral synthon, 3-buten-1,2-diol - and treated with n-pentylphosphonic dichloride and p-nitrophenol to afford the corresponding diastereomeric phosphonates, which were acylglycerol analogs. Subsequent separation of each of the phosphonate diastereomers A/B or ent-A/ent-B, performed by HPLC, led to four enantiopure stereoisomers that will be investigated as inhibitors of Human Pancreatic Lipase (HPL) and Human Gastric Lipase (HGL) using the monomolecular film technique.
