Antitumor-Promoting Activities of Various Synthetic 1-O-Acyl-3-O-(6'-O- Acyl-.BETA.-D-Galactopyranosyl)-sn-Glycerols Related to Natural Product from Freshwater Cyanobacterium Anabaena flos-aquae f.flos-aquae.
Achromobacter sp. lipase regioselectively acylated the hydroxyl group on sn-1 carbon among the two primary hydroxyl groups of 3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol.
Convenient synthesis of 1-O-acyl-3-O-(6'-O-acyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol was studied. The lipase from Achromobacter sp, catalyzed acylation of 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol, which contains two primary hydroxyl functions, proceeded regioselectively to furnish 1-O-acyl-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol.

1-O-Acyl-3-O-(6'-O-acyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol, which was isolated from a nitrogen-fixing freshwater cyanobacterium, Anabaena flos-aquae f. flos-aquae, was synthesized by utilizing lipase-catalyzed acylation.The antitumor-promoting activities of these galactolipids were evaluated using a short-term in vitro assay of Epstein-Barr virus activation in Raji cells induced by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA). The glyceroglycolipids which have a palmitoleoyl residue at the 1-O-position exhibited more potent activities than the others in this assay.
