General description

Palmitic anhydride reacted with 20-methyl spirolide G to form a derivative with a retention time and spectrum identical with the metabolite, 17-O-palmitoyl-20-methyl spirolide G.

Application

Palmitic anhydride was used in the synthesis of water-soluble N-palmitoyl chitosan (PLCS) by coupling with swollen chitosan in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). It was also used in the synthesis of N-acylphosphatidylserine.

Scavenger receptor-mediated uptake of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is thought to be the major mechanism of foam cell generation in atherosclerotic lesions. Recent data has indicated that native LDL is also capable of contributing to foam cell formation via low-affinity receptor-independent

A new phospholipid that can account for up to 40% of the total cellular phospholipid of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides has been identified. Purification of the phospholipid was accomplished by column chromatography on silicic acid and diethylaminoethylcellulose followed by preparative thin-layer chromatography.
