Okadaic acid (OA), a product of dinoflagellate Prorocentrum spp., is transformed into 7-O-acyl OA in various bivalve species. The structural transformation proceeds enzymatically in vitro in the presence of the microsomal fraction from the digestive gland of bivalves. We have been using LC-MS/MS to identify OA-transforming enzymes by detecting 7-O-acyl OA, also known as dinophysistoxin 3 (DTX3). However, an alternative assay for DTX3 is required because the OA-transforming enzyme is a membrane protein, and surfactants for solubilizing membrane proteins decrease the sensitivity of LC-MS/MS. The present study examined saturated fatty acyl CoAs with a carbon chain length of 10 (decanoyl), 12 (dodecanoyl), 14 (tetradecanoyl), 16 (hexadecanoyl) and 18 (octadecanoyl) as the substrate for the in vitro acylation reaction. Saturated fatty acyl CoAs with a carbon chain length of 14, 16 and 18 exhibited higher yields than those with a carbon chain length of 10 or 12. Acyl CoAs with carbon chain lengths from 14 to 18 and containing either a diene unit, an alkyne unit, or an azide unit in the carbon chain were synthesized and shown to provide the corresponding DTX3 with a yield comparable to that of hexadecanoyl CoA. The three functional units can be conjugated with fluorescent reagents and are applicable to the development of a novel assay for DTX3.

Potent oligomerization and macrocyclization activity of the thioesterase domain of vicenistatin polyketide synthase

The thioesterase domain of the polyketide synthase involved in the biosynthesis of the 20-membered macrolactam antibiotic vicenistatin (VinTE) was found to catalyze oligomerization and macrocyclization of ω-hydroxy fatty acid ethyl esters to afford 17-28-membered macrocyclic lactones. The ring sizes of the macrocycles appear to be limited to the more moderate sizes because of the space limitation of the active site of VinTE. It was also verified that the initially formed linear dimer is first released from the active site of VinTE and then is recognized again by VinTE prior to its transformation to the cyclic dimer.

Evaluation of the key aroma compounds in beef and pork vegetable gravies a la chef by stable isotope dilution assays and aroma recombination experiments

experimental part, p. 13122 - 13130 (2012/03/22)
Although the aroma compounds of meat processed as such have been studied previously, data on complete homemade dishes containing beef and pork meat were scarcely studied. Recently, 38 odor-active compounds were characterized in beef and pork vegetable gravies using GC-olfactometry. In the present investigation, the most odor-active compounds were quantitated in a freshly prepared stewed beef vegetable gravy (BVG) as well as a stewed pork vegetable gravy (PVG) by means of stable isotope dilution assays. Calculation of odor activity values (OAVs; ratio of concentration to odor threshold) revealed 3-mercapto-2- methylpentan-1-ol, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (E)-2-decenal, (E)-2-undecanal, and 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone as the most potent odorants in both gravies. However, significantly different OAVs were found for 12-methyltridecanal, which was much higher in the BVG, whereas (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal showed a clearly higher OAV in the PVG. Aroma recombination experiments performed on the basis of the actual concentrations of the odorants in both gravies revealed a good similarity of the aromas of both model mixtures containing all odorants with OAVs > 1 with those of the original gravies.
Design, Synthesis, and Biological Activity of 1,3-Disubstituted Ureas as Potent Inhibitors of the Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase of Increased Water Solubility

The soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is involved in the metabolism of endogenous chemical mediators that play an important role in blood pressure regulation and inflammation. 1,3-Disubstituted ureas are potent inhibitors of sEH that are active both in vitro and in vivo. However, their poor solubility in either water or lipid reduces their in vivo efficacy and makes them difficult to formulate. To improve these physical properties, the effect of incorporating polar functional groups into one of the alkyl chains was evaluated on their inhibitor potencies, water solubility, octanol/water partition coefficients (log P), and melting points. No loss of inhibition potency was observed when a polar functional group was incorporated at least five atoms (～7.5 ?) from the central urea carbonyl. In addition, the presence of a polar group at least 11 atoms away from the urea carbonyl group for the mouse and human sEHs, respectively, did not alter the inhibitor potency. The resulting compounds have better water solubility and generally lower log P values and melting points than nonfunctionalized liphophilic ureas. These properties will make the compounds more bioavailable and more soluble in either water- or oil-based formulations.

The structures formed by the adsorption of carboxyalkylphosphonic acids on metal oxides were investigated by 1H fast magic angle spinning (MAS), heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR), and 1H double-quantum (DQ) MAS solid-state NMR experiments. The diacids HO2C(CH2)nPO3H2 (n = 2, 3, 11, and 15) were adsorbed on TiO2 and two types of ZrO2 powders having average particle sizes of 20, 30, and 5 nm, respectively. Carboxyalkylphosphonic acids bind selectively via the phosphonate group, forming monolayers with pendant carboxylic acid groups. Whereas dipolar coupled P-OH protons are detected on TiO2, there are only isolated residual P-OH groups on ZrO2, reflecting the relative binding strengths of phosphonic acids on these two substrates. From a comparative 1H MAS NMR study with an analogous monolayer system, HO2C(CH2)7SH coated gold nanoparticles, the hydrogen-bonding network at the monolayer/air interface is found to be quite disordered, at least for SAMs deposited on nonplanar substrates. Whereas only hydrogen-bonded homodimers occur in the bulk diacids, hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic and phosphonic acid groups is present in multilayers of the diacids on the ZrO2 nanopowder.
