The stereochemistry of glycerophospholipids (GPLs) has been of interest for its roles in the evolution of life and in their biological activity. However, because of their structural complexity, no convenient method to determine their configuration has been reported. In this work, through the first systematic application of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to various diacylated GPLs, we have revealed that their chirality can be assigned by the sign of a VCD exciton couplet generated by the interaction of two carbonyl groups. This paper also presents spectroscopic evidence for the stereochemistry of GPLs isolated from bacteria, eukaryotes, and mitochondria.
Method of lowering the viscosity of mucus

, (2008/06/13)
The use of phospholipids of the following formula to reduce the viscosity of mucus in a patient is described: STR1 wherein one of X, Y, or Z represent: STR2 in which each R represents hydrogen or methyl, and each of the other two of X, Y, or Z represents --CO--R1 in which R1 represents linear or branched C11-21 alkyl or C11-21 alkenyl, unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of halo, C1-6 linear or branched alkoxy or cyano.
