چکیده

The N- and/or O-acylation of amphiphilic ethanolamine attracts particular attention because of its interesting biological, pharmaceutical, and medicinal properties. Tetradecanoic acid-2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)amino]ethyl ester (TAOAE) as the selected N,O-diacyl derivative of ethanolamine has been synthesized in order to obtain first information about its main interfacial characteristics, such as the surface pressure-area (π-A) isotherms, the morphology of the condensed phase domains, the lattice structure of the condensed phase, and information about the existence of interfacial hydrogen bonds (-NH···O═C-). The π-A isotherms of TAOAE, similar to those of the most usual monolayers of amphiphiles, show a sharp break point (A(c)) indicating the first-order phase transition from the fluid (liquid-expanded (LE), gaseous (G)) to the condensed (liquid-condensed (LC)) phase. On the mesoscopic scale, the dendritic domains homogeneously reflecting suggest an orientation of the alkyl chains perpendicular to the aqueous surface. The grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) studies reveal hexagonal packing of the TAOAE molecules oriented perpendicular to the surface in an LS phase. The existence of a hydrogen-bonding network in the monolayer is supported by infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) experiments.

Metabolism of Glycerolipids

Phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine may be synthesized in mammalian tissues from diglycerides and cytidine diphosphate ethanolamine or cytidine diphosphate choline, respectively (1). Hydrolysis of the naturally occurring phosphatides has indicated that often the fatty acids at the @ position are unsaturated whereas those at (Y’ are more often saturated (2-4). Although it is possible...

Adsorption of multilamellar tubes with a temperature tunable diameter at the air/water interface.

The ethanolamine salt of 12-hydroxy stearic acid is known to form tubes having a temperature tunable diameter. Here, we study the behavior of those tubes at the air/water interface by using Neutron Reflectivity. We observed that tubes indeed adsorbed at this interface below a fatty acid monolayer and exhibit the same temperature behavior as in bulk. There is however a peculiar behavior at aroun...

Arachidonic acid mobilization among phospholipids in murine mastocytoma P-815 cells: role of ether-linked phospholipids.

The ethanolamine-containing glycerophospholipids, choline-containing glycerophospholipids, and phosphatidylinositol fractions are major sources of arachidonic acid in murine mastocytoma P-815 cloned cells. The choline-linked fraction contained high arachidonic acid contents in 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl- (18%) and 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (11%), with smaller amounts in 1-O-alk-1'-enyl-2-acy...

Reassociation of purified lipopolysaccharide and phospholipid of the bacterial cell envelope: electron microscopic and monolayer studies.

Phosphatidyl ethanolamine and lipopolysaccharide were extracted and purified from the cell envelope fractions of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The two components were studied separately and after recombination, by use of electron microscopy and monolayer techniques, and by measuring their ability to participate in the enzyme-catalyzed uridine diphosphate-galactose:lipopolysacchar...

-acyl-ethanolamine phospholipids in rat brains during post-decapitative ischemia: a 31 P NMR study

Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance ( 31 P NMR) spectroscopy has been used to study accumulation of N -acyl-ethanolamine phospholipids in rat brains during post-decapitative ischemia. Lipids were extracted from rat brain homogenates and the extracts were thoroughly washed with aq. potassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The lower organic phases were isolated and evaporated to dry...
