In recent years a growing number of inherited diseases have been recognized to originate from an impairment in one or more peroxisomal functions. Since it is well established that the first two steps in the biosynthesis of plasmalogens proceed in
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.
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
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
