Chronic feeding of 1-O-octadecyl-sn-glycerol (batyl alcohol) to patients suffering from congenital deficiency in tissue ether glycerolipids showed an increase in the plasmalogens content of their erythrocytes. However, nothing is known about the ether lipid content of other tissues in these
Novel mutual pro-drugs in which 2',3'-dideoxyinosine anti-HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) drug and 3-octadecyloxy-propane-1,2-diol anti-inflammatory drug were attached to the same molecule via different biodegradable linkages, were synthesized through two-step enzymatic transesterification by a commercial lipase in acetone.

Stereoselectivity of several triacylglycerol lipases (EC 3.1.1.3) has been investigated in the enzymatic esterification of rac-1-O-octadecylglycerol with oleic acid in the presence of organic solvents, such as hexane. X-1(3)-O-Octadecylmonooleoylglycerols were the only products formed with most lipases; considerable proportions of
Alkylglycerols, inflammation products of lipids in cancerous tissues, are potent macrophage stimulating agents. Administration of small amounts (10-100 ng) of alkylglycerols to mice greatly enhanced macrophage activation for Fc-mediated ingestion activity at the 5th day posttreatment. Dose effect analysis revealed
Treatment of peripheral leukopenia after cadaveric kidney transplantation.
