Lipids ethanolamine

Plasmalogens are ether glycerophospholipids in which the alkyl moiety is d5-a,/3-unsaturated (Figure 8.10). Common plasmalogen head groups include choline, ethanolamine, and serine. These lipids are referred to as phosphati-dal choline, phosphatidal ethanolamine, and phosphatidal serine. 

Vitamins and lipids are often required for animal cells to grow in serum-free medium. Phosphoethanolamine and ethanolamine are key additives that facilitate the growth of the mammary tumor cell line 64024 (Kano-Sueoka and Errick, 1981). In addition, ethanolamine promotes the growth of human lymphocytes and mouse hybridoma cells. Short-term cultures of human diploid lung and foreskin fibroblasts grow in medium that includes among its supplements soybean lecithin, cholesterol, sphingomyelin, and vitamin E. 

It has been shown by FM that the phase state of the lipid exerted a marked influence on S-layer protein crystallization [138]. When the l,2-dimyristoyl-OT-glycero-3-phospho-ethanolamine (DMPE) surface monolayer was in the phase-separated state between hquid-expanded and ordered, liquid-condensed phase, the S-layer protein of B. coagulans E38/vl was preferentially adsorbed at the boundary line between the two coexisting phases. The adsorption was dominated by hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions. The two-dimensional crystallization proceeded predominately underneath the liquid-condensed phase. Crystal growth was much slower under the liquid-expanded monolayer, and the entire interface was overgrown only after prolonged protein incubation. 

In multiple sclerosis, which is a demyelinating disease, there is loss of both phospholipids (particularly ethanolamine plasmalogen) and of sphingolipids from white matter. Thus, the lipid composition of white matter resembles that of gray matter. The cerebrospinal fluid shows raised phospholipid levels. 

Recently in our group, model membrane permeation barriers have been constructed with concentrated phospholipid solutions, 10-74% wt/vol soy lecithin (approximate %w/w lipid composition 24% PC, 18% PE, 12% PI cf. Table 3.1) in dodecane, supported on high-porosity, hydrophobic microfilters. This newly formulated lipid has a net negative charge at pH 7.4, which further increases above pH 8, as the ethanolamine groups deionize. Also tested were 10% wt/vol egg lecithin lipid solutions in dodecane (approximate composition 73% PC, 11% PE,...

Figure 7. Lipophilicity profile of propranolol in liposomes composed of zwitterionic and charged lipids (phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), oleic acid (OA), phosphatidyl inositol (PI)). Conditions of measurements are described in [113]. The dotted line indicates the partitioning profile of propranolol in the egg PC liposome system. The bars show the pH-dependent charge profile of propranolol (hatched bars positively charged propranolol) and the lipids in the membrane (black bars negatively charged lipids).

These are the most common class of complex lipid (Figure 12.11) and contain a phosphoric acid residue (phosphate group) and two fatty acids esterified to glycerol. Attached to the phosphate group is an amino alcohol, sometimes referred to as the nitrogenous base, which may be either serine, choline or ethanolamine or sometimes the monomethyl or dimethyl derivatives of ethanolamine (Table 12.4). Alternatively, a polyhydroxy compound which is either glycerol, myo-inositol or one of their derivatives is attached instead...

Development of sterically stabilized liposomes (SSL) composed of high Tm lipids, cholesterol, and a lipopolymer, such as poly-(ethylene glycol methyl ether)-l,2-distearoyl-i n-glycero-3-phospho-ethanolamine triethyl ammonium salt (1,3-5,8,9,14,15)... 

More recently, a new chelation method based on the technetium chelator, HYNIC, was developed by Laverman et al. (36). HYNIC is well known for its use in labeling peptides and proteins with high efficiency and excellent stability (37). A-hydroxysuccinimidyl hydrazino nicotinate hydrochloride was conjugated to the free amino group of distearoylpho-sphatidyl-ethanolamine (DSPE) and subsequently incorporated in the lipid bilayer during the liposome preparation. 

Using N-terminus modified polylysine, we developed a synthesis for an amphiphilic polychelator, A,a-(DTPA-polylysyl)glutaryl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DTPA-PL-NGPE). This polychelator was incorporated into the liposomal membrane and micelle core during liposome or micelle preparation. This system sharply increased the number of chelated Gd atoms attached to a single lipid anchor. This increased the number of bound reporter metal atoms per vesicle and decreased the dosage of an administered...
