N-(17-Phosphonooxylinolenoyl)glutamine and N-(17-phosphonooxylinoleoyl)glutamine from Insect Gut: The First Backbone-Phosphorylated Fatty Acid Derivatives in Nature
摘要:
N-(17-Phosphonooxylinolenoyl)glutamine (1) and N-(17-phosphonooxylinoleoyl)glutamine (2) were isolated from the regurgitate of Spodoptora exigua and identified as the first natural alkyl chain-phosphorylated fatty acid derivatives. The compounds were characterized by HPLC-MS/MS and the assigned structures confirmed by synthesis via a dissymmetric bis-Wittig approach as the key reaction. Rearing of the larvae on a diet enriched with inorganic phosphate increased the amount of the phosphorylated N-acyl glutamines in the regurgitate.
