sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate lithium is synthesized via the cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase pathway. This process involves the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate using NADH, which is generated during glycolysis.
1,2,3-Trioctanoyl-rac-glycerol-13C3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2,3-trioctanoyl-rac-glycerol by GC- or LC-MS. 1,2,3-Trioctanoyl-rac-glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains octanoic acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions. Dietary administration of 1,2,3-trioctanoyl-rac-glycerol increases hippocampal levels of the glycolytic metabolites glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, and β-hydroxybutyrate and the seizure threshold in the 6 Hz psychomotor seizure test in mice.1 Formulations containing 1,2,3-trioctanoyl-rac-glycerol have been used in cosmetic products as thickening and skin-conditioning agents.
Cyclic Phosphatidic Acids (cPAs) are naturally occurring lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) analogs, characterized by a 5-membered ring formed between the sn-2 hydroxy group and the sn-3 phosphate. Carba-derivatives of cPA (ccPA) modify the sn-2 (2-ccPA) or sn-3 (3-ccPA) linkage, hindering the conversion of cPA into LPA. Oleoyl 3-Carbacyclic Phosphatidic Acid (3-ccPA 18:1) incorporates the 18:1 fatty acid oleate at the sn-1 position on the glycerol backbone, acting as a cyclic LPA analog. This compound, at a concentration of 25 μM, blocks MM1 cells' transcellular migration through mesothelial cell monolayers induced by fetal bovine serum (by 90.1%) or LPA (by 99.9%), without impeding cell proliferation. Additionally, 3-ccPA 18:1, in the 0.1-1.0 μM range, notably suppresses autotaxin, which plays a vital role in various cancer cell behaviors including survival, growth, migration, invasion, and metastasis.
