A simple method is presented to esterify 1-O-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol using lipases in different organic solvents. The following fatty acids were used: C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, and C18:2. Monoesterification was achieved by using a limiting amount of fatty acid. Both the 1-O-hexadecyl-3-O-acylglycerol

Alkylglycerol monooxygenase of rat liver microsomes was purified approximately to 97-fold with a 30% yield by procedures including affinity chromatography on chimyl alcohol-Sepharose 4B. Chimyl alcohol (1-O-hexadecylglycerol) was converted to the p-aminobenzylidene derivative and then coupled to 6-carboxyhexyl-Sepharose. The final

Exposure of Tetrahymena pyriformis NT-1 to chimyl alcohol (1-O-hexadecyl glycerol) produced a reproducible enhancement in unsaturated fatty acids and a great decrease in order parameter (S), which result from the 2-fold increases of stearoyl-CoA and oleoyl-CoA desaturase activities in microsomes.
The ability of the naturally occurring ether lipid, 1-O (2 methoxy) hexadecyl glycerol (MHG), and phenylbutyrate (BP) to inhibit cellular proliferation, anchorage-independent growth and cellular invasion in the human prostate cancer LnCap and DU145 cells was determined. Both MHG and

The effect of alkylglycerol supplementation on protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated signaling events has been studied in fibroblasts from Zellweger patients (SF 3271 cells). Western blotting analysis established that Zellweger fibroblasts express PKC alpha, epsilon, and zeta. Incubation with bradykinin induced
