Fatty Acids: Hydroxy and Other Oxygenated Structures, Occurrence and Biochemistry

ثبت نشده
چکیده

The following is a guide to the more important naturally occurring fatty acids with hydroxy, epoxy (furanoid), methoxy and oxo substituents, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive list. The prostaglandins and other eicosanoids and the plant oxylipins are in essence fatty acids with additional oxygenated functional groups, but these are discussed elsewhere in this website. Similarly, hydroxy, oxo and epoxy fatty acids may arise adventitiously from hydroperoxides, and these are not discussed here. Nor are the many oxygenated fatty acids that are produced by synthetic means for industrial applications.

New bioactive fatty acids.

Many oxygenated fatty acids are bioactive compounds. Nocardia cholesterolicum and Flavobacterium DS5 convert oleic acid to 10 hydroxy stearic acid and linoleic acid to 10-hydroxy-12(Z)-octadecanoic acid. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PR3 converts oleic acid to the new compounds, 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid (DOD) through 10-hydroxy-8-octadecenoic acid, and racinoleic acid to 7,10,12-trihydrox...

The Effects of Simvastatin on Free Fatty Acids Profile in Fructose-fed Insulin Resistant Rats

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...

Oxygenated Fatty Acids with Anti-rice Blast Fungus Activity in Rice Plants.

Expecting that the different characteristics of rice plants against rice blast fungus, that is, susceptibility of the weaker cultivar, Sasanishiki and resistance of the stronger cultivars, Fukuyuki and Fukunishiki, may be due to the absence or presence of anti-fungus compounds in the rice plants, the anti-rice blast fungus substances in these three kinds of rice plants were explored. We found f...

Monohydroxylated fatty acid substrate specificity of human leukocyte 5-lipoxygenase and omega-hydroxylase.

Various monohydroxylated fatty acids were synthesized from eicosapolyenoic acids, namely arachidonic (20:4 omega-6), timnodonic (20:5 omega-3), dihomogammalinolenic (20:3 omega-6) and mead (20:3 omega-9) acids. 12-Hydroxy derivatives, as well as 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), were produced with platelets as the enzyme source, and 15-hydroxy derivatives were produced by soya bea...
