Selective preparation of sn-1 and sn-2 lysogalactolipids by enzymatic hydrolysis using lipase (from Rhizopus arrhizus)
摘要:
Selective and quantitative transformations of galactolipids into sn-1 and sn-2 lysogalactolipids by the use of lipase (from Rhizopus arrhizus) were developed.
Synthesis of digalactosyl diacylglycerols and their structure–inhibitory activity on human lanosterol synthase
摘要:
Digalactosyl and monogalactocyl diacylglycerols (DGDG and MGDG), which were identified as anti-hyperlipemia active components in Colocasia esculenta (Taro), were synthesized. The inhibitory activity of DGDG, MGDG and related compounds on human lanosterol synthase was evaluated as anti-hyperlipemic activity. DGDG with two myristoyl groups at both sn-1 and sn-2 positions and with an oleoyl group at the sn-1 position showed the most potent activity. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus catalyzed deacylation of two classes of glyceroglycolipids, monogalactosyl diacylglycerol(MGDG), and digalactosyl diacylglycerol(DGDG), proceeded regiospecifically to furnish sn-1 lysoglyceroglycolipids quantitatively. The lipase also catalyzed complete acyl migration of sn-1 lysoglycerogalacto-lipids leading to sn-2 lysoglycerogalactolipids.
