Antiviral nucleoside diphosphate diglycerides: improved synthesis and facilitated purification.
Cytidine diphosphate diglyceride and its analogs have previously been synthesized by condensing phosphatidic acid with the monophosphomorpholidates of the various nucleosides. Yields have been low and purification of the product has been difficult.

Cyclic Phosphatidic Acid Relieves Osteoarthritis Symptoms [PDF]
Background: Cyclic phosphatidic acid (cPA) is a naturally occurring phospholipid mediator with a unique cyclic phosphate ring at the sn-2 and sn-3 positions of its glycerol backbone. Natural cPA and its chemically stabilized cPA derivative, 2-carba-cPA (2ccPA), inhibit chronic and acute inflammation, and 2ccPA attenuates neuropathic pain ...

Comparative lipid profiling dataset of the inflammation-induced optic nerve regeneration. [PDF]
In adult mammals, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) fail to regenerate following damage. As a result, RGCs die after acute injury and in progressive degenerative diseases such as glaucoma; this can lead to permanent vision loss and, eventually, blindness ...

Dietary fats are converted into chylomicron triacylglycerols via the 2-monoacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid pathways of acylglycerol formation. In view of the known positional and fatty acid specificity of the acyltransferases, the triacylglycerol ...

Animal cell cytokinesis: the role of dynamic changes in the plasma membrane proteome and lipidome [PDF]
In animal cells, cytokinesis is characterised by the formation of the mitotic spindle that signals the assembly of an actomyosin ring between the spindle poles.

The acid-catalyzed isomerization of the diglyceride analog (1,2,3/0)-1,2-dipalmitoylcyclopentane-1,2,3-triol has been used to generate syn-syn-1,3-diacyl-cyclopentane-1,2,3-triol, a required intermediate in the synthesis of a symmetrical all-cis-1,2,3/0 ...

Enzymatic synthesis of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride
Evidence is presented for the enzymatic formation of cytidine diphosphate diglyceride in microsomal preparations from guinea pig liver according to the reaction:CTP + phosphatidic acid ⇌ CDP-diglyceride + P—O—P.Conditions have been found in which the ...
