ELISA methods have been developed for screening contamination of water resources by linear alkyl benzene sulfonates (LAS) or the most immediate degradation products, the long chain sulfophenyl carboxylates, SPCs. The assay uses antibodies raised through pseudoheterologous immunization strategies using an equimolar mixture of two immunogens (SFA-KLH and 13C13-SPC-KLH) prepared by coupling N-(4-alkylpnenyl)sulfonyl-3-aminopropanoic acid (SFA) andp-(1-carboxy-13-tridecyl)-phenylsulfonic acid (13C13-SPC) to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). The immunizing haptens have been designed to address recognition versus two different epitopes of the molecule. The SFA hapten maximizes recognition of the alkyl moiety while preserving the complexity of the different alkyl chains present in the LAS technical mixture. The 13C13-SPC hapten addresses recognition of the common and highly antigenic phenylsulfonic group. The antisera raised using this strategy have been shown to be superior to those obtained through homologous immunization procedures using a single substance. By using an indirect ELISA format, LAS and long-chain SPCs can be detected down to 1.8 and 0.2 μg L-1, respectively. Coefficients of variation of 6 and 12% within and between assays, respectively, demonstrate immunoassay reproducibility. The assay can be used in media with a wide range of pH and ionic strength values. Preliminary experiments performed to assess matrix effects have demonstrated the potential applicability of the method as a screening tool to assess contamination by these types of surfactants in natural water samples.

A method of inhibiting parasitic activity is disclosed in which the biosynthesis, structure and/or function of the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor of said parasite may be affected by incorporating into said GPI anchor selected analogs of myristic acid containing various heteroatoms, substituents and unsaturated bonds, including ester-containing analogs, ketocarbonyl-containing analogs, sulfur-containing analogs, double bond- and triple bond-containing analogs, aromatic moiety-containing analogs, nitrated analogs and halogenated analogs.

Methods have been developed for the preparation of terminal p-iodophenyl-substituted α- and β-methyl-branched long-chain fatty acids.The syntheses and physical properties of 14-(p-iodophenyl)-2(RS)-methyltetradecanoic acid and 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3(RS)-methylpentadecanoic acid are described.The radioiodinated agents are of interest as a result of the expected pronounced uptake and prolonged myocardial retention that may result from the inhibition of fatty acid metabolism.Tissue distribution studies in rats with 14-(p-iodophenyl)-2(RS)-methyltetradecanoic acidand 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3(RS)-methylpentadecanoic acid show significant heart uptake and prolonged retention accompanied by low in vivo deiodination and high blood levels.A comparison of the heart uptake of the radioiodinated methyl-branched fatty acids and their unbranched analogues has demonstrated a greater myocardial retention of the methyl-branched fatty acids than the unbranched analogues.These results suggest that the mechanism of myocardial retention results from steric or chemical inhibition of the metabolism of these fatty acids by the presence of the methyl group.
