  • Chemical Synthesis of a Very Long-Chain Fatty Acid, Hexacosanoic Acid (C26:0), and the Ceramide Containing Hexacosanoic Acid
    J Nutr Sci Vitaminol, 61, 222–227, 2015 Chemical Synthesis of a Very Long-Chain Fatty Acid, Hexacosanoic Acid (C26:0), and the Ceramide Containing Hexacosanoic Acid Yoshinori YAMAMOTO, Toshimasa ITOH and Keiko YAMAMOTO* Laboratory of Drug Design and Medicinal Chemistry, Showa Pharmaceutical University, 3–3165 Higashi-Tamagawagakuen, Machida, Tokyo 194–8543, Japan (Received December 24, 2014) Summary Hexacosanoic acid (C26:0) (1), a very long-chain fatty acid, is related to vari- ous diseases such as adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) and atherosclerosis. As the level of 1 higher than the normal is related to diseases above, hexa- cosanoic acid (1) and the ceramide 2, which contains 1, are thought to play an important role in various tissues. Hexacosanoic acid (1) is known to be a waxy solid and to be hard to dissolve in water as well as organic solvents. Due to this physical property, it is not easy to handle hexacosanoic acid (1) in a laboratory. Therefore, efficient chemical synthesis of the compounds 1 and 2 has not been reported. Here, we report a versatile synthetic method for hexacosanoic acid (1) and the ceramide 2 containing the fatty acid 1. Synthesis of hexa- cosanoic acid (1) was achieved by applying the coupling of two alkyl units as a key step. Ceramide 2 was efficiently synthesized by applying the reported procedure together with hexacosanoic acid (1) synthesized here. This synthetic strategy has an advantage of getting various carbon chain length fatty acids and their ceramides by using a variety of carbon chain units. This method is also applicable for large-scale synthesis.

PIERZYNOWSKI, T. SAHLU* AND S. P. HART E. (Kika) de la Garza Institute for Goat Research, Langston University, Langston, Oklahoma 73050, USA . IP address: (Received I1 November 1994 - Revised 15 March 1995 -Accepted I1 May 1995) 170.106.34.90 The effect of mimosine on a perfused area of skin tissue was studied using an isolated perfusion technique. Four mature Angora wethers (body weight 35 (SE 2.3) kg) were cannulated bilaterally with indwelling silicone catheters in the superficial branches of the deep circumflex iliac artery and vein. Mimosine , on (40 mg/kg metabolic weight (Wo75)per d) was infused intra-arterially into one iliac artery of each goat for 3 d and saline was infused in the contralateral (control) iliac artery. Iliac venous blood samples were 27 Sep 2021 at 22:01:16 taken from both sides along with arterial samples from the carotid artery. Mimosine infusion elevated plasma mimosine in the carotid artery (52.6 (SEM19.21) pol/l) and iliac vein on the saline-treated side to 54.1 (SEM 16-31)~ol/l and in the iliac vein on the mimosine-treated side to 191.3 (SEM1914) pmol/l (P < 0.01). Mimosine decreased feed intake (2.3 v. 0.6 kg/d, ~~~0.29;P < 0.001) and water consumption (5-2 v. 1.3 litres/d, SEM 0.67; P < 0.001).

  • Review on the Nutritive Value and Toxic Aspects of Leucaena Leucocephala
    Trop Anim Prod 1979 4:2 113 A REVIEW ON THE NUTRITIVE VALUE AND TOXIC ASPECTS OF LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA U ter Meulen1, S Struck1, E Schulke2 and E A El Harith1 1 Institut fur Tierphysiologie und Tierernahrung der Universitat Gottingen Oskar-Kellner-Weg 6, Weende 3400 Gottingen, West Germany This review discusses the nutritive value of Leucaena leucocephala and its mimosine toxicity when used as a forage for livestock. Chemical analysis and feeding trial. have indicated that Leucaena leaf-meal with its high protein, calcium, -carotene and xanthophyll contents, is potentially a valuable feed for livestock in the tropics. The symptoms of mimosine toxicity in cattle, sheep, poultry, goats horses, pigs and rats ire discussed, The chemical value of mimosine and the possible mechanism of its toxicity are reviewed. Possible solutions to the toxicity problem are presented together with the suggestion that further studies be initiated to overcome this problem. Key Words: Leucaena, mimosine toxicity, livestock, forage, feeding trials The uses of the tropical legume Leucaena leucocephala are quite versatile. These uses include its function as a source of firewood and timber,its role in soil erosion control (Dijkman 1950), its ability to provide shade for other plants as well as its function in maintaining the fertility of the soil and of serving as a nutritious forage for animal feed (Ruskln 1977). Presently the greatest use of this plant in animal nutrition is its incorporation in cattle feed. Leucaena leaf-meal, with its rich protein, minerals and vitamin content, is also becoming a popular ingredient in poultry feeds in the tropics (D'Mello and Taplin 1978).

  • Peroxisomal Fatty Acid Beta-Oxidation in Relation to the Accumulation Of
    Peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation in relation to the accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with Zellweger syndrome and other peroxisomal disorders. R J Wanders, … , A W Schram, J M Tager J Clin Invest. 1987;80(6):1778-1783. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113271. Research Article The peroxisomal oxidation of the long chain fatty acid palmitate (C16:0) and the very long chain fatty acids lignocerate (C24:0) and cerotate (C26:0) was studied in freshly prepared homogenates of cultured skin fibroblasts from control individuals and patients with peroxisomal disorders. The peroxisomal oxidation of the fatty acids is almost completely dependent on the addition of ATP, coenzyme A (CoA), Mg2+ and NAD+. However, the dependency of the oxidation of palmitate on the concentration of the cofactors differs markedly from that of the oxidation of lignocerate and cerotate. The peroxisomal oxidation of all three fatty acid substrates is markedly deficient in fibroblasts from patients with the Zellweger syndrome, the neonatal form of adrenoleukodystrophy and the infantile form of Refsum disease, in accordance with the deficiency of peroxisomes in these patients. In fibroblasts from patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy the peroxisomal oxidation of lignocerate and cerotate is impaired, but not that of palmitate. Competition experiments indicate that in fibroblasts, as in rat liver, distinct enzyme systems are responsible for the oxidation of palmitate on the one hand and lignocerate and cerotate on the other hand. Fractionation studies indicate that in rat liver activation of cerotate and lignocerate to cerotoyl-CoA and lignoceroyl-CoA, respectively, occurs in two subcellular fractions, the endoplasmic reticulum and the peroxisomes but not in the mitochondria.
