Amphiphilic random and block terpolymers bearing PEG chains, crystalline octadecyl groups, amorphous oleyl groups were designed to control crystallization microphase separation in the solid state.

Background Biotechnology enables the production of high-valued industrial feedstocks from plant seed oil. The plant-derived wax esters with long-chain monounsaturated acyl moieties, like oleyl oleate, have favorite properties for lubrication. For biosynthesis of wax esters using acyl-CoA substrates, expressions of a fatty acyl reductase (FAR) and a wax synthase (WS) in seeds are sufficient. R...

The behaviour of ultrasonic wave propagation through liquid solution has become an important tool for studying physical and chemical properties of liquid solutions. The density, viscosity and ultrasonic velocity of of cholesteryl oleyl carbonate have been studied. From the experimental data various thermo acoustical parameters such as free volume, internal pressure and Rao’s constant and Wada’s...

The present study reports the results of a combined computational and site mutagenesis study designed to provide new insights into the orthosteric binding site of the human M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. For this purpose a three-dimensional structure of the receptor at atomic resolution was built by homology modeling, using the crystallographic structure of bovine rhodopsin as a template...

Long-chain acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) compounds (palmityl, stearyl, and oleyl) were found to be potent inhibitors of acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LK2G12 from aerobic, but not from nonaerobic, cells. The effectiveness of the inhibitors of the aerobic enzyme was in the following order: palmityl-CoA < stearyl-CoA < oleyl-CoA. Short-chain acyl-CoA compounds (propionyl, ...

A synthesis of racemic diether analogues of glyceryl phosphatides is reported which is applicable to unsaturated aliphatic substituents. The "oleyl" diether analogue of phosphatidyl ethanolamine has been synthesized.

The oleyl moiety in vanilloids is important in activating vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1), but there was no ingredient of ginger containing the oleyl moiety in the natural form. We synthesized oleylgingerol and oleylshogaol and then evaluated their potential to activate a rat TRPV1 channel. Oleylgingerol is a stronger TRPV1 agonist than natural gingerols, but oleylshogaol is a weaker agonist than ...

Oleyl oleate (liquid wax ester); is a principal component of sperm whale bubbler oil has an important industrial application such as cosmetic, pharmaceutical and biolubricant. In this work, synthesis oleyl was carried out through esterification between oleoyl alcohol oleic acid using acidic heterogeneous catalyst, sodium hydrogen sulfate. About 95% produce at the optimal condition. The molecula...

Diacylglycerols composed of one saturated and one unsaturated chain make up the hydrophobic core of many biological membranes. We report here the first crystalline structure of such a mixed chain diacylglycerol. The mixed chain diacylglycerol, 1-stearoyl-3-oleyl-glycerol ( 1,3-SODG) was produced by solution isomerization of 1-stearoyl-2-oleylsn-glycerol. 1.3-SODG was isolated by flash chromatog...
