A Facile and Efficient Method for the Synthesis of Labeled and Unlabeled Very Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Hamberg, Mats
, p. 489 - 494 (2021/04/19)
Several methods are available for elongation of fatty acid acyl chains. The present paper describes adaptation to the fatty acid field of a previously published protocol for manganese-based Wurtz type coupling of alkyl bromides. 22-Bromo-3(Z),6(Z),9(Z),12(Z),15(Z),18(Z)-docosahexaene, easily prepared from 4(Z),7(Z),10(Z),13(Z),16(Z),19(Z)-docosahexaenoic acid, was coupled to homologous ω-bromoesters by stirring for 4 hours at 40°C in the presence of manganese powder, a nickel catalyst and terpyridine. This afforded in yields of 70–75% a series of ω3-hexaenoates of chain lengths of 32–40 carbons. The corresponding fatty acids of >98% purity were obtained following saponification and final purification. By using methyl [2,2,3,3,4,4-2H6]10-bromodecanoate as coupling partner it was possible to prepare a very long chain fatty acid in isotopically labeled form, i.e., [2,2,3,3,4,4-2H6]14(Z),17(Z),20(Z),23(Z),26(Z),29(Z)-dotriacontahexaenoic acid. Also prepared were the monounsaturated long chain fatty acids 15(Z)-octadecenoic acid and 15(Z)-tetracosenoic acid. Very long chain fatty acids have been isolated from retina and other tissues and are of biological relevance. The methodology described will assist in further analytical and biological studies in this field.

Here we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of new 2-hydroxybenzylphosphonium salts (QPS) with antimicrobial and antitumor dual action. The most active compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity at a micromolar level against Gram-positive bacteria Sa (ATCC 209p and clinical isolates), Bc (1–2 μM) and fungi Tm and Ca, and induced no notable hemolysis at MIC. The change in nature of substituents of the same length led to a drastic change of biological activity. Self-assembly behavior of the octadecyl and oleyl derivatives was studied. QPS demonstrated self-assembly within the micromolar range with the formation of nanosized aggregates capable of the solubilizing hydrophobic probe. The synthesized phosphonium salts were tested for cytotoxicity. The most potent salt was active against on M?Hela cell line with IC50 on the level of doxorubicin and good selectivity. According to the cytofluorimetry analysis, the salts induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis.

Paragraph 00725; 00731, (2019/01/08)
The disclosure features amino lipids and compositions involving the same. Nanoparticle compositions include an amino lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, PEG lipids, or a combination thereof. Nanoparticle compositions further including therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.
