Diverse non-methylene-interrupted (NMI) fatty acids (FAs) with odd-chain lengths have been recognized in triacylglycerols and polar lipids from the ovaries of the limpet Cellana toreuma, however their biological properties remain unclear. In this study, two previously unreported odd-chain NMI FAs, (12Z)-12,16-heptadecadienoic (1) and (14Z)-14,18-nonadecadienoic (2) acids, from the ovary lipids of C. toreuma were identified by a combination of equivalent chain length (ECL) values of their methyl esters and capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of their 3-pyridylcarbinol derivatives. On the basis of the experimental results, both 1 and 2 were synthesized to prove their structural assignments and to test their biological activity. The ECL values and electron impact-mass (EI-MS) spectra of naturally occurring 1 and 2 were in agreement with those of the synthesized 1 and 2. In an in vitro assay, both 1 and 2 activated protein phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+-dependent 1A (PPM1A) up to 100 μM in a dose-dependent manner.
来自巴石螺卵巢的三酰甘油和极性脂质中已经发现了多种不含亚甲基间断(NMI)的奇数碳链长度脂肪酸(FA),但它们的生物学特性仍不清楚。本研究通过相当链长(ECL)值的甲酯和毛细管气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)的3-吡啶甲醇衍生物鉴定出了巴石螺卵巢脂质中两种未报道的奇数碳链NMI FA,即(12Z)-12,16-庚二烯酸(1)和(14Z)-14,18-十九二烯酸(2)。在实验结果的基础上,合成了1和2来证明它们的结构分配和测试它们的生物活性。天然存在的1和2的ECL值和电子轰击质谱(EI-MS)谱与合成的1和2一致。在体外实验中,1和2均以剂量依赖的方式使蛋白磷酸酶、Mg2+/Mn2+依赖型1A(PPM1A)活化高达100μM。
