Collision-induced dissociation of doubly-charged barium-cationized lipids generated from liquid samples by atmospheric pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization provides structurally diagnostic product ions [PDF]
Obtaining structural information for lipids such as phosphatidylcholines, in particular the location of double bonds in their fatty acid constituents, is an ongoing challenge for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Phosphatidylcholine Analogues Containing Monoterpene Acids as Potent Antiproliferative Agents. [PDF]
The synthesis of novel phosphatidylcholines with geranic and citronellic acids in sn-1 and sn-2 positions is described. The structured phospholipids were obtained in high yields (59-87%) and evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against several

Juvenile Male Rats Exposed to a Low-Dose Mixture of Twenty-Seven Environmental Chemicals Display Adverse Health Effects [PDF]
Humans are exposed to a large number of environmental chemicals in their daily life, many of which are readily detectable in blood or urine. It remains uncertain if these chemicals can cause adverse health effects when present together at low doses.

An efficient synthesis of phosphatidylcholines.
This article deals with two of the major steps involved in phospholipid synthesis: the preparation of the optically pure precursors, sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (GPC) and -ethanolamine, from a convenient lipid source such as egg yolk, and acylation of ...

An in silico MS/MS library for automatic annotation of novel FAHFA lipids. [PDF]
BackgroundA new lipid class named 'fatty acid esters of hydroxyl fatty acids' (FAHFA) was recently discovered in mammalian adipose tissue and in blood plasma and some FAHFAs were found to be associated with type 2 diabetes.

Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) are a class of cell membrane phospholipids playing important roles in cellular integrity and signaling. In eukaryotes, PCs are biosynthesized via the Kennedy cytidine nucleotide and the Bremer-Greenberg pathways.
