General description

Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is a phospholipid, that is generated in the the presence of ethanol in cell membranes. PEths like PEth 16:0/18:1, PEth 18:1/18:1, and PEth 16:0/16:0 possesses a common phosphoethanol head. Two fatty acid chains of variable length and degree of saturation are bound to this head group. It is widely distributed in gram-positive organisms.
Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) represents a group of glycerophospholipid homologues generated by substitution of ethanol for the lipid headgroup by the phospholipase D enzyme. Since the formation of PEth is specifically dependent on ethanol, the diagnostic specificity of PEth as an alcohol biomarker is theoretically 100%.

Application

16:0-18:1 Phosphatidylethanol is suitable for use in the preparation of liposomes used for permeability studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylethanols (PEths) serves as crucial biomarkers of alcohol consumption.

Various phosphatidylethanol (PEth) derivatives, the corresponding reversed positional isomers (RPI-PEths), lyso-PEth-16:0, and penta-deuterium-labeled PEth analogs (d5-PEths), were synthesized by enzyme-independent synthetic routes. A general solvent system consisting of a mixture of acetone-d6 and methanol-d4 (97:3; v/v) was found to provide

For early diagnosis and therapy of alcohol-related disorders, alcohol biomarkers are highly valuable. Concerning specificity, indirect markers can be influenced by nonethanol-related factors, whereas direct markers are only formed after ethanol consumption. Sensitivity of the direct markers depends on cut-offs
