The synthesis of a new minimum steric perturbing proxyl nitroxide, which is a derivative of glycerol and contains a stearic acid moiety, has been carried out. Its localization in model membrane L-α-dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) was ascertained with the help of ESR, DSC, 1H and 31P NMR techniques. The nitroxide was used for detecting the changes in the phase transition temperature of the model membranes in the presence and absence of drugs. The permeation of the vasodilating drug epinephrine has also been studied using this spin label. The results prove the potential applicability of the new spin probe in the spin labeling of biomembranes. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Kinetics and mechanism of lipase catalyzed monoacylglycerols synthesis

, p. 34 - 39 (2013)
Monoacylglycerols are increasingly used in several industrial applications as effective and cheap emulsifiers. In the present work monostearin synthesis has been studied, using lipase as a biocatalyst of the esterification reaction of stearic acid with (R,S)-1,2-O-iso-propylidene glycerol (solketal). The lipase from Candida antarctica (CaL B) was immobilized in AOT/isooctane water in oil microemulsions. Optimization of the reaction conditions have shown that the highest production (80% in 30 min) could be achieved at 40 °C, in microemulsions with relatively low water content (wo = 8). Kinetic studies have shown that the esterification reaction of stearic acid with solketal catalyzed by CaL B occurs via the ordered bi-bi mechanism, in which inhibition by the acid was identified. Moreover, at high fixed solketal concentrations a negative cooperativity is pronounced, which means that binding of the alcohol lowers the affinity of the enzyme for binding of the acid. Values of all kinetic parameters have been determined.
Design and synthesis of fluorescence-labeled closo-dodecaborate lipid: Its liposome formation and in vivo imaging targeting of tumors for boron neutron capture therapy

The fluorescence-labeled closo-dodecaborane lipid (FL-SBL) was synthesized from (S)-(+)-1,2-isopropylideneglycerol as a chiral starting material. FL-SBL was readily accumulated into the PEGylated DSPC liposomes prepared from DSPC, CH, and DSPE-PEG-OMe by the post insertion protocol. The boron concentrations and the fluorescent intensities of the FL-SBL-labeled DSPC liposomes increased with the increase of the additive FL-SBL, and the maximum emission wavelength of the liposomes appeared at 531 nm. A preliminary in vivo imaging study of tumor-bearing mice revealed that the FL-SBL-labeled DSPC liposomes were delivered to the tumor tissue but not distributed to hypoxic regions.

Perosa, Alvise,Moraschini, Andrea,Selva, Maurizio,Noè, Marco
, (2016)
The caprylic, lauric, palmitic and stearic esters of solketal and glycerol formal were synthesized with high selectivity and in good yields by a solvent-free acid catalyzed procedure. No acetal hydrolysis was observed, notwithstanding the acidic reaction conditions.
Optically active monoacylglycerols: Synthesis and assessment of purity

Despite their simple structures, synthesis of 1(or 3)-acyl-sn-glycerols remains a challenge that cannot be ignored because of facile acyl migrations, which not only complicate the synthesis but also make direct GC or HPLC analysis unfeasible. Assessment of the optical purity of monoacylglycerols has, to date, relied almost exclusively on specific rotation data, which are small in value and thus insensitive to impurities. Now, a simple means to "magnify" the small specific rotations has been found, along with practical methods for the measurement of both 1,2-and 1,3-acyl migrations, which offer a convenient and straightforward alternative to Mori's NMR analysis of Mosher esters. With the aid of these methods, a range of conditions for deacetonide removal were examined en route to the synthesis of two natural monoacylglycerols. Refined hydrolysis conditions, along with useful knowledge about the solubility and reactivity of substrates with an ultra long alkyl chain are also presented. Copyright

Recognition that trans and saturated fats have negative health effects drive researchers to develop alternative systems that can structure liquid oils into semi-solid plastic pastes for food applications. Monoacylglicerols (MAG) can be used as a promising molecule to achieve this structuring so we have optimized a biocatalytic batch process to the esterification reaction between 1,2-O-isopropylidene glycerol and stearic acid, catalyzed by Lipozyme RM IM, using response surface methodology (RSM) in a laboratory setting with 95% of conversion after 4 h.

Biochemical characterization of the PHARC-associated serine hydrolase ABHD12 reveals its preference for very-long-chain lipids

Polyneuropathy, hearing loss, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa, and cataract (PHARC) is a rare genetic human neurological disorder caused by null mutations to the Abhd12 gene, which encodes the integral membrane serine hydrolase enzyme ABHD12. Although the role that ABHD12 plays in PHARC is understood, the thorough biochemical characterization of ABHD12 is lacking. Here, we report the facile synthesis of mono-1-(fatty)acyl-glycerol lipids of varying chain lengths and unsaturation and use this lipid substrate library to biochemically characterize recombinant mammalian ABHD12. The substrate profiling study for ABHD12 suggested that this enzyme requires glycosylation for optimal activity and that it has a strong preference for very-long-chain lipid substrates. We further validated this substrate profile against brain membrane lysates generated from WT and ABHD12 knockout mice. Finally, using cellular organelle fractionation and immunofluorescence assays, we show that mammalian ABHD12 is enriched on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, where most of the very-long-chain fatty acids are biosynthesized in cells. Taken together, our findings provide a biochemical explanation for why very-long-chain lipids (such as lysophosphatidylserine lipids) accumulate in the brains of ABHD12 knockout mice, which is a murine model of PHARC.
