Synthesis of 1-lyso-2-palmitoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine and its regioisomers and structural elucidation by NMR spectroscopy and FAB tandem mass spectrometry
摘要:
Three regioisomers of a naturally occurring lysophosphatidylcholine were chemically synthesized from glycerol. The phosphocholine moiety of the molecule was introduced by sequentially reacting with ethylene chlorophosphite, bromine, water, and trimethyl amine. Removal of a silyl protecting group of the hydroxyl group in the glycerol backbone was achieved without any accompanying acyl migration in the final stage of the synthesis by using NBS in a dimethyl sulfoxide-water cosolvent system. Structures of all regioisomers were compared by NMR spectroscopy and FAB tandem mass spectrometry. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Described herein are nanoparticles that are coated with a bilayer of molecules formed from surface binding molecules and amphiphatic molecules. The bilayer coating self assembles on the nanoparticles from readily available materials/molecules. The modular design of the bilayer coated nanoparticles provides a means for readily and efficiently optimizing the properties of the bilayer coated nanoparticle compositions. Also described herein are uses of such nanoparticles in medicine, laboratory techniques, industrial and commerical applications.
