General Description

1,2-dieicosanoyl-sn-glycerol, also known as 1,2-di(20:0)-sn-glycerol, is a chemical compound belonging to the class of diacylglycerols. It is composed of two eicosanoic acid (C20:0) molecules esterified to the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of a glycerol backbone. 1,2-dieicosanoyl-sn-glycerol is a type of lipid that is commonly found in biological membranes and is involved in various cellular processes such as signal transduction and energy storage. 1,2-dieicosanoyl-sn-glycerol has been studied for its potential role in lipid metabolism and its implications in diseases such as obesity and diabetes. It is also used as a standard reference material in lipid analysis and research.

Production of structured triacylglycerols from microalgae

Structured triacylglycerols (TAGs) were isolated from nine cultivated strains of microalgae belonging to different taxonomic groups, i.e. Audouinella eugena, Balbiania investiens, Myrmecia bisecta, Nannochloropsis limnetica, Palmodictyon varium, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Pseudochantransia sp., Thorea ramosissima, and Trachydiscus minutus. They were separated and isolated by means of NARP-LC/MS-APCI and chiral LC and the positional isomers and enantiomers of TAGs with two polyunsaturated, i.e. arachidonic (A) and eicosapentaenoic (E) acids and one saturated, i.e. palmitic acid (P) were identified. Algae that produce eicosapentaenoic acid were found to biosynthesize more asymmetrical TAGs, i.e. PPE or PEE, whereas algae which produced arachidonic acid give rise to symmetrical TAGs, i.e. PAP or APA, irrespective of their taxonomical classification. Nitrogen and phosphorus starvation consistently reversed the ratio of asymmetrical and symmetrical TAGs.

COSMETIC COMPOSITION

-

Cosmetic composition

A composition suitable for topical application to mammalian skin or hair for inducing, maintaining or increasing hair growth comprises a glycosaminoglycanase inhibitor chosen from aldonomonolactones, alduronomonolactones and acylated monosaccharides, and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle for the inhibitor; the total amount of the inhibitor present in the composition being sufficient to increase hair growth in the rat, when said composition is applied topically thereto over a period of no more than 3 months, by at least 10% more than that obtainable using a control composition from which the said inhibitor has been omitted, in accordance with the Rat Hair Growth Test.
