Inhibitory Effect of 2-(E-2-Alkenoylamino)ethyl Alkyl Sulfides on Gastric Ulceration in Rats. II. Structure and Activity Relationships of 2-(E-n or Z-n-Decenoylamino)ethyl Alkyl Sulfides.
AbstractJojoba wax and its derivatives are slow‐reacting compounds. To elucidate the reasons for this phenomenon, we reacted jojoba mono‐ and bis‐epoxide and trans‐jojoba bis‐epoxide (C38–C44 long‐chain esters), as well as side chain esters of three steroid skeleton mono‐epoxide derivatives with NaI under acidic conditions to yield the corresponding iodohydrins, which then formed the respective bis‐keto (or mono‐ketone) derivatives. The kinetics, activation energies, and thermodynamic parameters of activation of nucleophilic epoxide opening and pinacol rearrangement were determined for all these compounds. The reaction rates of the jojoba derivatives were similar to those of two of the epoxides derived from the steroid skeleton compounds, and in the third case the steroid derivative reacted somewhat faster than all the rest. This pattern of rate retardation could stem either from folding of the long jojoba chain, resulting in steric hindrance around the reaction centers, or from repeated unproductive collisions along the long hydrocarbon chain of the jojoba wax (statistical effect). Our results appear to suggest that the multiple unsuccessful collisions were the dominant factor, although steric hindrance cannot be ruled out.
Novel decenoic acids such as (E)-4-decenoic acid and (E)- and (Z)-5-,6-decenoic acid were detected as minor components in heated butter using GC and GC/MS. The formation mechanism of these novel decenoic acids is discussed on the basis of the result of the reaction of δ-decalactone with active clay in a model experiment.

The present invention relates to a cationic lipid having one or more biodegradable groups located in a lipidic moiety (e.g., a hydrophobic chain) of the cationic lipid. These cationic lipids may be incorporated into a lipid particle for delivering an active agent, such as a nucleic acid. The invention also relates to lipid particles comprising a neutral lipid, a lipid capable of reducing aggregation, a cationic lipid of the present invention, and optionally, a sterol. The lipid particle may further include a therapeutic agent such as a nucleic acid.
Inhibitory Effect of 2-(E-2-Alkenoylamino)ethyl Alkyl Sulfides on Gastric Ulceration in Rats. II. Structure and Activity Relationships of 2-(E-n or Z-n-Decenoylamino)ethyl Alkyl Sulfides.
The analogues of 2-(E-n or Z-n-decenoylamino)ethyl carbamoylmethyl sulfide, including the modifications of sulfide portion, double bond in decenoyl chain and alkyl sulfide moiety, were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on stress-induced ulceration in rats were compared.Replacing the sulfura atom by methylene group or oxygen atom reduced the effect of potency. Saturation of the double bond in the decenoyl chain tended to reduce the anti-ulcerogenic activity in rats. There was no relationship between the position of double bond in decenoyl chain and the pharmacological activity. On the other hand, compounds with E-configuration showed stronger anti-ulcer activity than the corresponding Z-type of compounds. Among 9 kinds of S substituted alkyl groups for carbamoylmethyl, 2-(E-2-decenoylamino)ethyl 2-cyclohexylethyl sulfide showed the most potent anti-ulcerogenic activity in rats and also showed the lowest acute toxicity in mice.
