Amnionic surfactants used in shampoos, cosmetics, toothpaste, and laundry products include linear alkylbenzenesulfonates (LAS), alcohol sulfates (AS), alcohol ethoxysulfates (AES), alcohol glycerol ether sulfonates, and alpha-olefin sulfates. Household end use of anionic surfactants in the United States was 7.3 X 105 metric tons in 1987 LAS, AS, and AES accounted for 98% of the total (I). 

The effects of the addition of sugars, long-tailed n-alkyl pyranosides, n-alkyl glycerol ethers and n-alcohols on the properties of di-n-hexadccyldi methyl ammonium bromide (DHAB) vesicles have been studied.54 Upon addition of most additives, an inhibiting effect on the decarboxylation reaction of 6-nitrobenzisoxazole-3-carboxylate anion has been observed relative to the reaction in vesicles without any additive. The largest inhibition was observed in the case of cholesterol. 

Excellent solvent for many organic compounds dissolves phosphorus, sulfur, and halogen acids miscible with water, alcohol, glycerol, ether, and carbon tetrachloride practically insoluble in carbon disulfide.1...

The glycerol ethers and plasmalogens are a unique class of phosphoglycerides that contain an ether-linked chain at the sn-1 position. These are formed by the incorporation of acyl CoA at the sn-1 position of dihydroxy-acetone phosphate. The acyl group is then exchanged for a long-chain... 

It is prepared by nitration of phenyl glycerol ether with a nitric acid-sulfuric acid mixture.

Tetrahydrobiopterin is not a vitamin, because it can be synthesized from GTP, as shown in Figure 10.2 (Thony et al., 2000). It is the coenzyme for mixed-function oxidases phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan hydroxylases alkyl glycerol monoxygenase, which catalyzes the cleavage of alkyl glycerol ethers and nitric oxide synthase in the formation of nitric oxide. In addition to its coenzyme role, tetrahydrobiopterin has a direct effect on neurons, acting to stimulate dopamine release via a cAMP-dependent protein kinase and a calcium channel (Koshimura et al., 2000).
