General description

18:1-2:0 DG, also called 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OADG), is a membrane permeable and synthetic analog of diacyl glycerol (DAG).

Application

18:1-2:0 DG (1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol) may be used:
  • in the induction of superoxide generation in neutrophils
  • as a substrate for platelet-activating factor acetyl hydrolases
  • as a protein kinase C (PKC) activator in adrenal glands

Biochem/physiol Actions

18:1-2:0 DG (OAG) halts the inhibition of glucose uptake by the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, U73122. It also inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) formation and prevents fatty acid release and necrosis in lung fibroblasts. OAG is a protein kinase C (PKC) activator. It also inhibits TWIK-related acid-sensitive (TASK)-like potassium channels in peripheral arterial chemoreceptors. OAG stimulates 5-lipooxygenase (5-LO) in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL).

Storage and Stability

Diacylglycerols are conveniently stored in chloroform solutions in glass vials with PTFE-lined caps at -20°C. Under these conditions acyl migration is minimal. Avoid plastic when handling chloroform solutions.

Other Notes

Delivery to cells: Dry samples of diacylglycerol in chloroform, using a stream of nitrogen. Dissolve the residue in an appropriate volume of ethanol or DMSO, then dilute to the desired aqueous medium.
Effective concentration: Most biological responses saturate at 20 to 250 μM sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol. Only sn-1,2 isomers appear to be active.
Precaution: Since short chain Diacylglycerols mimic effects of the tumor-promoting phorbol diesters in a number of biological systems, extra care should be employed in their handling. Treatment of solutions, vessels and other articles with 1N NaOH before washing or discarding will destroy diacylglycerols.
