Chemoenzymatic synthesis of structured triacylglycerols by highly regioselective acylation
摘要:
A highly efficient two-step chemoenzymatic synthesis of structured triacylglycerols comprising a pure n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid at the mid-position and a pure saturated fatty acid located at the end-positions is described. In the first step an immobilized Candida antarctica lipase was observed to display an excellent regioselectivity toward the end-positions of glycerol at 0-4degreesC using vinyl esters as acylating agents. The n-3 fatty acids were introduced into the remaining mid-position highly efficient and in excellent yields using EDCI coupling agent. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Six regioisomerically pure structuredtriacylglycerols possessing a medium-chain fatty acid (C8, C10 or C12) at the primary positions and pure eicosapentaenoicacid or docosahexaenoicacid at the secondary position of the glycerol moiety were prepared in two steps by a chemoenzymatic approach using lipase.

EPA or DHA activated as acetoxime esters exclusively into the 1,3-positions of glycerol. The saturated fatty acyl groups were subsequently introduced to the remaining 2-position by EDCI coupling agent to accomplish the title compounds highly efficiently. This is the first report on reversed structured TAGs possessing the long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fattyacids. It is anticipated that these novel
Utilization of reaction medium-dependent regiospecificity of Candida antarctica lipase (Novozym 435) for the synthesis of 1,3-dicapryloyl-2-docosahexaenoyl (or eicosapentaenoyl) glycerol
AbstractA highly efficient enzymatic method for the synthesis of regioisomerically pure 1,3‐dicapryloyl‐2‐docosahexaenoyl glycerol (CDC) in two steps was established. 2‐Monoglyceride (2‐MG) formation by ethanolysis of tridocosahexaenoylglycerol (DDD) with immobilized Candida antarctica lipase (Novozym 435) as catalyst was the key step of the synthesis. CDC was finally obtained by reesterification of 2‐MG with ethylcaprylate (EtC) catalyzed by Rhizomucor miehei lipase (Lipozyme IM). The regiospecificity of Novozym 435 depended on the type of reaction and the initial composition of the reaction medium. It displayed strict 1,3‐regiospecificity for ethanolysis at a high excess of ethanol in the reaction mixture although it displayed no regiospecificity in transesterification and esterification reactions. The highest yield of CDC (85.4%) was obtained by ethanolysis at a 4∶1 weight ratio of ethanol/DDD for 6 h followed by reesterification at a 20∶1 molar ratio of EtC/initial DDD for 1.5 h. The regioisomeric purity of CDC was 100%. Good results were obtained also for the synthesis of 1,3‐dicapryloyl‐eicosapentaenoylglycerol (CEC) by the same method: 84.2% yield and 99.8% regioisomeric purity at the same reactant ratios as above. The yield of the reesterification step and the regioisomeric purity of the product were influenced by the molar ratio of the reactants for both CDC and CEC syntheses: higher excess of EtC favored higher yields and regioisomeric purity of the products.
